live_v so_o soon_o as_o they_o resist_v god_n &_o fight_v against_o their_o own_o conscience_n toby_n we_o may_v then_o place_v those_o wicked_a one_o that_o thou_o speak_v of_o in_o the_o number_n of_o these_o possess_a man_n that_o make_v their_o abide_v in_o the_o grave_n as_o if_o they_o be_v already_o lodge_v with_o death_n and_o have_v he_o always_o before_o their_o eye_n theo._n though_o they_o make_v a_o fair_a show_n towards_o the_o world_n than_o the_o possess_v do_v and_o be_v not_o so_o much_o torment_v in_o body_n yet_o be_v they_o no_o less_o torment_v in_o spirit_n &_o conscience_n than_o they_o for_o though_o they_o go_v about_o to_o appease_v it_o as_o much_o as_o they_o can_v yet_o the_o lord_n sai_v shall_v always_o remain_v true_a which_o he_o speak_v by_o

concern_v those_o that_o thou_o speak_v of_o man_n which_o hate_v all_o man_n and_o their_o conversation_n and_o seek_v to_o be_v solitary_a because_o all_o the_o world_n do_v extreme_o avoid_v they_o i_o have_v know_v some_o that_o in_o steed_n of_o ioi_v in_o their_o wine_n and_o child_n they_o have_v so_o extreme_o hate_v they_o that_o they_o can_v neither_o see_v they_o nor_o hear_v they_o no_o nor_o abide_v any_o other_o person_n theo._n thou_o may_v well_o place_v those_o in_o the_o number_n of_o those_o possess_v that_o flee_v into_o the_o desert_n for_o there_o be_v some_o wicked_a one_o so_o envious_a and_o hateful_a to_o every_o man_n through_o the_o extreme_a covetousness_n that_o continual_o grieve_v their_o greedy_a heart_n that_o they_o will_v have_v all_o the_o world_n themselves_o therefore_o as_o they_o can_v away_o with_o no_o man_n no_o more_o can_v any_o man_n away_o with_o they_o yea_o they_o can_v not_o away_o with_o themselves_o and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o they_o become_v like_a to_o these_o possess_a man_n 8._o which_o not_o only_o fall_v upon_o all_o such_o as_o pass_v by_o and_o they_o meet_v 5._o so_o that_o none_o dare_v pass_v by_o the_o way_n where_o they_o be_v but_o also_o they_o cruel_o torment_v themselves_o and_o beat_v themselves_o against_o the_o stone_n toby_n if_o the_o devil_n have_v such_o power_n over_o those_o who_o he_o rule_v that_o he_o cause_v they_o to_o torment_v themselves_o yea_o if_o they_o can_v to_o destroy_v themselves_o we_o need_v not_o marvel_v if_o such_o be_v cruel_a and_o furious_a against_o other_o theo._n notwithstanding_o thou_o see_v how_o god_n have_v satan_n so_o in_o bond_n bridle_v and_o bridle_v he_o by_o his_o providence_n that_o he_o can_v work_v his_o will_n neither_o in_o the_o person_n of_o these_o poor_a possess_v nor_o in_o any_o other_o for_o though_o these_o possess_v break_v their_o chain_n and_o bond_n so_o that_o none_o can_v keep_v they_o bound_n nor_o stay_v they_o nevertheless_o they_o can_v neither_o destroy_v themselves_o nor_o hurt_v any_o other_o further_o than_o the_o lord_n give_v they_o leave_v toby_n if_o god_n have_v not_o provide_v they_o may_v have_v do_z much_o harm_n consider_v that_o they_o be_v so_o furious_a mighty_a and_o strong_a that_o there_o be_v no_o bond_n nor_o chain_n but_o they_o break_v theo._n thou_o may_v well_o think_v that_o that_o strength_n come_v not_o alone_o of_o themselves_o for_o they_o be_v but_o man_n as_o other_o man_n be_v whereby_o we_o may_v perceive_v that_o the_o deville_n which_o possess_v they_o do_v employ_v their_o force_n to_o work_v such_o thing_n as_o surmount_v the_o order_n of_o nature_n toby_n it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v doubt_v but_o that_o their_o strength_n come_v from_o they_o as_o thou_o have_v say_v for_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o it_o come_v not_o from_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n as_o sampson_n do_v 16._o who_o also_o break_v chain_n and_o bond_n carry_v away_o town_n gate_n on_o his_o shoulder_n and_o overthrow_v house_n with_o y_z e_z strength_n of_o his_o hand_n theo._n nevertheless_o thou_o see_v how_o god_n have_v these_o possess_v in_o such_o bond_n that_o notwithstanding_o the_o strength_n that_o the_o deville_n give_v they_o yet_o be_v they_o always_o so_o subject_a to_o jesus_n christ_n as_o if_o he_o have_v have_v they_o in_o chain_n and_o bond_n and_o although_o they_o flee_v to_o the_o grave_n and_o desert_n yet_o when_o it_o please_v jesus_n christ_n he_o bring_v they_o from_o thence_o and_o constrain_v they_o to_o appear_v before_o he_o as_o if_o a_o judge_n shall_v call_v a_o wicked_a doer_n out_o of_o prison_n to_o appear_v before_o he_o to_o give_v sentence_n against_o he_o now_o if_o our_o saviour_n christ_n have_v show_v such_o power_n on_o these_o possess_v and_o over_o the_o deville_n which_o torment_v they_o we_o may_v not_o doubt_v but_o that_o he_o have_v as_o much_o power_n now_o as_o ever_o he_o have_v to_o repress_v the_o cloak_v possess_v possess_a that_o be_v now_o adays_o and_o also_o these_o deville_n by_o who_o they_o be_v conduct_v and_o govern_v but_o especial_o we_o may_v be_v well_o assure_v that_o he_o will_v not_o loose_v the_o bridle_n more_o to_o tyrant_n then_o to_o these_o possess_v who_o they_o resemble_v in_o many_o thing_n for_o they_o be_v strong_a and_o mighty_a possess_v who_o man_n power_n can_v not_o easy_o resist_v yea_o and_o they_o be_v furious_a like_o the_o lord_n and_o master_n that_o they_o serve_v and_o therefore_o dragon_n it_o be_v write_v in_o the_o apocalypse_n that_o the_o red_a dragon_n have_v seven_o head_n and_o on_o every_o head_n a_o crown_n and_o he_o have_v also_o ten_o horn_n for_o 12._o the_o devil_n have_v at_o all_o time_n govern_v such_o tyrannous_a king_n and_o prince_n as_o persecute_v the_o people_n of_o god_n furthermore_n law_n be_v give_v to_o man_n as_o bond_n and_o bridle_n to_o restrain_v they_o from_o all_o kind_n of_o riot_n or_o beastly_a life_n and_o therefore_o david_n admonish_v we_o 32._o sai_v be_v you_o not_o like_o a_o horse_n or_o like_o a_o mule_n which_o understande_v not_o who_o mouth_n thou_o do_v bind_v with_o bit_n and_o bridle_n lest_o they_o come_v near_o thou_o but_o there_o be_v neither_o bit_n nor_o bridle_n that_o can_v restrain_v the_o tyranny_n and_o fury_n of_o tyrant_n by_o reason_n of_o their_o power_n and_o the_o practice_n that_o the_o red_a dragon_n which_o be_v the_o devil_n work_v in_o they_o and_o by_o they_o wherefore_o they_o may_v well_o be_v compare_v to_o those_o furious_a violente_fw-la and_o wild_a possess_v man_n but_o our_o great_a comfort_n be_v that_o jesus_n christ_n which_o be_v their_o judge_n be_v able_a enough_o to_o call_v they_o to_o judgement_n before_o he_o either_o to_o bridle_v their_o rage_n or_o to_o condemn_v they_o to_o the_o bottomless_a pit_n of_o hell_n to_o the_o devil_n who_o they_o have_v rather_o obey_v then_o god_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v write_v in_o the_o book_n of_o daniel_n 7._o that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n have_v judge_v and_o condemn_v all_o beast_n by_o which_o be_v signify_v the_o empire_n and_o kingdom_n which_o have_v persecute_v the_o people_n and_o chuche_n of_o god_n and_o have_v do_z so_o much_o harm_n on_o the_o earth_n toby_n i_o understande_v this_o point_n very_o well_o now_o remain_v to_o hear_v what_o jerome_n have_v to_o say_v jerom._n because_o that_o the_o tyrant_n which_o open_o persecute_v the_o people_n and_o church_n of_o god_n and_o use_v nothing_o but_o rage_n force_n and_o violence_n do_v manifest_o declare_v themselves_o to_o be_v the_o enemy_n of_o god_n and_o his_o church_n it_o seem_v that_o we_o may_v right_o call_v such_o possess_v and_o devil_n black_a devil_n toby_n why_o say_v thou_o so_o devil_n do_v thou_o ever_o see_v either_o black_a or_o white_a deville_n jerom._n see_v they_o be_v spirit_n without_o body_n they_o can_v neither_o be_v black_a nor_o white_a for_o they_o can_v receive_v no_o colour_n sith_o that_o colour_n have_v no_o place_n but_o in_o visible_a and_o corporal_a thing_n but_o i_o speak_v this_o because_o painter_n common_o paint_v devil_n black_a and_o we_o imagine_v they_o so_o to_o be_v which_o be_v not_o whole_o without_o reason_n livery_n for_o sing_v the_o devil_n be_v prince_n of_o
