therefore_o it_o behoove_v a_o romish_a priest_n to_o be_v chaste_a of_o his_o eye_n chaste_a of_o his_o hand_n and_o indeed_o of_o every_o member_n especial_o when_o he_o meet_v with_o the_o devil_n

which_o you_o will_v which_o may_v be_v sometime_o true_a but_o be_v ten_o time_n often_o false_a so_o that_o the_o priest_n know_v not_o where_o to_o have_v the_o devil_n but_o he_o be_v well_o enough_o serve_v to_o expect_v truth_n from_o a_o common_a lyar._n therefore_o when_o the_o priest_n find_v himself_o thus_o abuse_v by_o one_o let_v he_o command_v he_o to_o stand_v by_o and_o call_v another_o to_o his_o catechism_n command_v he_o to_o speak_v and_o not_o be_v afraid_a of_o the_o other_o and_o command_v the_o other_o not_o to_o disturb_v he_o if_o neither_o by_o this_o mean_v the_o priest_n can_v find_v out_o the_o truth_n then_o let_v the_o priest_n be_v as_o jocose_v as_o the_o devil_n be_v surly_a and_o call_v the_o rest_n coram_fw-la nobis_fw-la by_o contemptible_a

when_o the_o devil_n find_v the_o priest_n too_o hard_o for_o he_o he_o send_v for_o his_o accomplice_n either_o to_o animate_v he_o or_o assist_v he_o with_o their_o presence_n a_o common_a thing_n for_o one_o friend_n to_o cheer_v up_o another_o in_o distress_n in_o this_o case_n the_o priest_n must_v make_v it_o his_o business_n to_o know_v what_o enemy_n his_o antagonist_n have_v either_o in_o heaven_n or_o hell_n and_o then_o to_o invoke_v his_o enemy_n the_o saint_n to_o conjure_v up_o his_o enemy_n the_o devil_n and_o lay_v his_o command_n upon_o the_o devil_n his_o friend_n sometime_o the_o devil_n be_v so_o weary_v with_o talk_v to_o the_o priest_n that_o he_o endeavour_v to_o sneak_v out_o of_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o party_n possess_v to_o rest_v himself_o either_o in_o the_o party_n heart_n or_o under_o his_o neck_n and_o then_o it_o behoove_v the_o priest_n to_o fetch_v he_o back_o with_o a_o sisarara_n and_o keep_v he_o wake_v above_o board_n to_o this_o purpose_n these_o word_n be_v very_o prevalent_a ecce_fw-la crucem_fw-la domini_fw-la for_o though_o the_o devil_n be_v unwilling_a to_o speak_v latin_a yet_o he_o understand_v latin_a very_o well_o
