[unspec 6] Sixthly, For the Purgation: Seventhly, For the merit of the party bewitched. And [unspec 7] lo, the first four are proved by Matthew the 7. and Mark the 4. when one pre∣sented his Son, and the multitude wanted faith, and the Father said, Lord help my incredulity, or unbelief. Whereupon was said, Oh faithless and perverse gene∣ration, how long shall I be with you? and where these words were written, And Jesus rebuked him, &c. that is to say, say they, the possessed or bewitched for his sins: For by the neglect of due remedies it appeareth that there were not with Christ good and perfect men: For the pillars of the faith, to wit, Peter, James and John were absent. Neither was there fasting and praying, without the which that kind of Devils could not be cast out. For the fourth point, to wit, the fault of the Exorcist in faith may appear, for that afterwards the Disciples asked the cause of their impotency therein: And Jesus answered, it was for their incredulity, saying, Thut if they had as much faith as a grain of mustard seed, they should move mountains, &c. The fift is proved by Vitas Pa∣trum, the lives of the Fathers, where it appeareth that S. Anthony could not do that cure, when his Scholar Paul could do it, and did it. For the proof of the sixth excuse it is said, that though the fault be taken away thereby, yet it followeth not that alwayes the punishment is released. Last of all, it is said, That it is possible that the Devil was not conjured out of the party before Bap∣tism by the Exorcist; or the midwife hath not baptized him well, but omitted some part of the Sacrament. If any object, There was no Exorcist in the primi∣tive Church; It is answered, That the Church cannot now erre. And S. Gregory would never have instituted it in vain. And it is a general rule, that who or what∣soever is newly exorcised, must be rebaptized, as also such as walk or talk in their sleep; for (say they) call them by their names, and presently they wake, or fall if they climb; whereby it is gathered that they are not truly name in Baptism. Item, they say, It is somewhat more difficult to conjure the Devil out of one bewitched, then out of one possessed; because in the bewitched he is double; in the other single. They have a hundred such beggerly, foolish and frivolous notes in this behalf.
