The charme of charmes:

Finally my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that you may stand against the assaults of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 against principalities and powers, and against wordly governo•••••• the princes of the darknesse of this world, against spiritual wickednesse, which are in the high places. For this cause take unto you the armour of God, that you may be able to resist in the evill day; and having finished all things, stand fast. Stand therefore, and your loines gided a∣bout with verity, and having on the brestplate of righteousnesse, &c. followeth in that chapter, verses 15, 16, 17, 18. 1 These 5. 1 Pet. 5. verse 8. Ephes. 1. and elsew-here in the holy scripture.
