by_o evil_a spirit_n and_o the_o great_a abuse_n which_o hitherto_o have_v be_v commit_v by_o many_o in_o such_o kind_n of_o business_n now_o to_o come_v to_o speak_v of_o the_o drive_v away_o of_o evil_a spirit_n it_o be_v to_o be_v know_v that_o very_o few_o since_o the_o time_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n have_v right_o be_v drive_v away_o for_o they_o know_v not_o how_o to_o use_v any_o other_o mean_n but_o ceremony_n and_o conjuration_n wherewith_o they_o endeavour_v to_o expel_v the_o malignant_a spirit_n and_o the_o devil_n whereas_o this_o be_v altogether_o a_o false_a foundation_n and_o by_o no_o mean_n to_o be_v follow_v or_o imitate_v although_o sometime_o some_o have_v be_v deliver_v by_o this_o way_n and_o the_o devil_n have_v be_v drive_v from_o they_o nevertheless_o it_o have_v not_o be_v do_v neither_o can_v it_o be_v do_v without_o loss_n like_a as_o if_o a_o prince_n will_v vanquish_v some_o country_n or_o city_n with_o the_o sword_n this_o he_o can_v not_o possible_o do_v without_o some_o apparent_a damage_n and_o loss_n to_o that_o place_n a_o common_a proverb_n hereby_o come_v to_o mind_n which_o say_v that_o he_o that_o can_v get_v good_a word_n from_o good_a man_n shall_v much_o less_o wrest_v they_o from_o evil_a man_n although_o they_o be_v compel_v by_o force_n the_o more_o evil_a be_v to_o be_v fear_v as_o by_o example_n be_v too_o often_o see_v to_o come_v to_o pass_v therefore_o that_o opinionate_a power_n be_v to_o be_v relinquish_v which_o be_v use_v in_o ceremony_n and_o conjuration_n but_o you_o ought_v to_o expel_v wicked_a spirit_n as_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n do_v and_o no_o other_o way_n but_o if_o you_o do_v otherwise_o you_o undertake_v great_a labour_n against_o the_o devil_n for_o certain_o the_o devil_n be_v force_v through_o great_a difficulty_n to_o go_v out_o of_o man_n and_o seek_v all_o iniquity_n and_o wicked_a occasion_n to_o stay_v and_o retain_v they_o in_o his_o power_n but_o when_o he_o see_v that_o he_o can_v no_o long_o stay_v and_o remain_v in_o the_o possess_v but_o be_v force_v to_o go_v out_o than_o he_o require_v power_n and_o licence_n to_o enter_v into_o some_o other_o man_n or_o beast_n or_o into_o some_o other_o place_n which_o if_o he_o be_v permit_v there_o follow_v a_o great_a loss_n thereupon_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o other_o place_n to_o be_v permit_v or_o assign_v unto_o he_o but_o hell_n from_o whence_o he_o come_v and_o which_o god_n have_v ordain_v for_o he_o and_o cast_v he_o into_o that_o it_o may_v not_o happen_v as_o we_o have_v a_o example_n as_o we_o faithful_o believe_v when_o christ_n permit_v the_o devil_n which_o he_o cast_v out_o of_o the_o man_n to_o enter_v into_o the_o herd_n of_o swine_n which_o no_o soon_o have_v the_o devil_n enter_v into_o they_o but_o they_o be_v drown_v in_o the_o sea_n therefore_o they_o be_v in_o no_o wise_a to_o be_v permit_v to_o enter_v into_o any_o other_o man_n lest_o sudden_o after_o they_o deprive_v they_o of_o their_o life_n as_o they_o do_v these_o swine_n neither_o be_v they_o to_o be_v permit_v to_o go_v into_o any_o river_n lake_n or_o pond_n which_o if_o it_o shall_v be_v do_v they_o will_v drown_v many_o man_n therein_o and_o draw_v they_o into_o the_o deep_a under_o those_o water_n and_o will_v deride_v they_o as_o a_o fool_n do_v his_o master_n with_o his_o finger_n and_o therewith_o the_o devil_n be_v more_o delight_v then_o before_o neither_o ought_v they_o to_o have_v any_o power_n give_v they_o or_o to_o their_o desire_n to_o go_v into_o any_o house_n or_o castle_n for_o they_o will_v perpetual_o possess_v it_o and_o will_v so_o reign_v there_o that_o no_o body_n will_v any_o more_o be_v able_a to_o dwell_v or_o inhabit_v in_o that_o place_n but_o they_o will_v always_o be_v inhabitable_a as_o many_o both_o house_n and_o castle_n be_v in_o many_o country_n which_o be_v leave_v desolate_a for_o this_o very_a cause_n many_o whereof_o i_o can_v name_v in_o this_o place_n but_o i_o pass_v they_o by_o to_o avoid_v prolixity_n let_v satan_n therefore_o ask_v what_o he_o will_v where_o or_o to_o what_o place_n he_o will_v go_v nothing_o else_o aught_o to_o be_v grant_v to_o he_o then_o to_o return_v into_o hell_n which_o god_n ordain_v for_o he_o and_o thrust_v he_o into_o from_o whence_o he_o come_v into_o the_o man_n and_o into_o which_o he_o ought_v to_o enter_v when_o he_o go_v out_o of_o the_o man_n etc._n etc._n also_o if_o the_o devil_n shall_v cause_v the_o man_n to_o speak_v many_o vain_a trifle_n we_o ought_v not_o to_o answer_v thereunto_o or_o to_o speak_v much_o with_o he_o but_o if_o any_o one_o will_v speak_v with_o he_o let_v he_o say_v i_o command_v thou_o oh_o thou_o unclean_a spirit_n by_o the_o word_n power_n and_o virtue_n whereby_o thou_o be_v cast_v out_o by_o christ_n &_o his_o apostle_n that_o thou_o go_v out_o of_o this_o man_n etc._n etc._n he_o be_v no_o other_o way_n to_o be_v conjure_v neither_o be_v these_o word_n to_o be_v take_v for_o a_o conjuration_n but_o for_o a_o answer_n by_o which_o alone_o he_o be_v not_o cast_v out_o but_o this_o be_v first_o to_o be_v do_v to_o wit_n to_o watch_v and_o pray_v for_o christ_n say_v this_o kind_n be_v only_o to_o be_v cast_v out_o by_o fast_v and_o prayer_n with_o faith_n wherefore_o it_o be_v chief_o necessary_a to_o induce_v and_o force_v such_o as_o be_v thus_o possess_v to_o prayer_n though_o it_o be_v very_o difficult_a to_o be_v do_v because_o the_o devil_n so_o rule_v their_o tongue_n that_o he_o suffer_v they_o not_o to_o pray_v therefore_o there_o must_v be_v prayer_n make_v before_o they_o and_o if_o they_o will_v not_o pray_v with_o and_o after_o those_o that_o be_v pray_v they_o must_v be_v more_o sharp_o deal_v withal_o that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o pofess_z must_v be_v fast_o bind_v both_o his_o hand_n and_o foot_n and_o afterward_o let_v some_o other_o man_n lie_v across_o over_o they_o and_o show_v himself_o to_o be_v very_o angry_a with_o they_o and_o severe_o compel_v they_o to_o prayer_n but_o he_o ought_v to_o pray_v before_o they_o and_o to_o exhort_v they_o to_o pray_v after_o he_o the_o same_o word_n by_o this_o mean_v such_o people_n may_v be_v induce_v to_o pray_v when_o they_o can_v be_v bring_v to_o it_o by_o any_o other_o mean_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v continue_v day_n by_o day_n and_o the_o devil_n will_v go_v out_o of_o they_o and_o leave_v they_o this_o shall_v suffice_v to_o have_v speak_v concern_v the_o cast_n out_o of_o unclean_a and_o evil_a spirit_n because_o i_o be_o restrain_v to_o use_v brevity_n in_o other_o place_n chap._n x._o of_o tempest_n that_o we_o may_v now_o come_v to_o speak_v of_o the_o original_n of_o tempest_n &_o how_o they_o may_v be_v expel_v away_o also_o how_o and_o by_o what_o mean_v any_o one_o may_v preserve_v himself_o and_o he_o from_o thunder_n lightning_n and_o hail_n we_o shall_v declare_v in_o the_o first_o place_n that_o all_o tempest_n do_v proceed_v from_o the_o four_o capital_a wind_n viz._n the_o east_n south_n west_n and_o north_n then_o from_o the_o centre_n of_o both_o that_o be_v to_o say_v of_o the_o air_n and_o firmament_n there_o be_v no_o tempest_n can_v arise_v but_o from_o the_o four_o fountain_n before_o speak_v of_o which_o come_v chief_o to_o be_v consider_v wherefore_o he_o that_o desire_v to_o preserve_v his_o good_n house_n land_n garden_n field_n meadow_n and_o such_o thing_n from_o all_o manner_n of_o thunder_n hail_n and_o tempest_n he_o ought_v first_o to_o know_v these_o thing_n whereby_o he_o may_v also_o know_v how_o to_o assimilate_v inferior_n to_o superior_n we_o will_v therefore_o in_o this_o place_n brief_o declare_v the_o original_n of_o all_o tempest_n the_o original_n of_o tempest_n be_v certain_o nothing_o else_o but_o the_o appearance_n of_o spirit_n and_o lightning_n or_o corruscation_n precede_v be_v the_o presence_n of_o they_o whereby_o it_o may_v be_v certain_o know_v whether_o those_o tempest_n will_v pass_v away_o with_o or_o without_o danger_n and_o that_o after_o this_o manner_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v to_o wit_n as_o a_o stranger_n will_v not_o enter_v into_o any_o one_o house_n unless_o first_o he_o speak_v so_o these_o spirit_n do_v not_o appear_v unto_o we_o without_o speak_v first_o but_o their_o voice_n be_v thunder_n which_o as_o we_o see_v immediate_o follow_v every_o flash_n of_o lightning_n also_o if_o a_o stranger_n shall_v sudden_o fly_v into_o the_o house_n of_o another_o where_o he_o be_v not_o know_v it_o
