Verse 34. They besought him to depart]
This was a great mad∣nesse, as 〈◊〉〈◊〉 wish, because they had been 〈◊〉〈◊〉 by the Sun, they might see no more of it. And yet how many (alasse) are there at this day that cry out of this madnesse, and yet imitate it? How many, that prefer haram dom sticam arae dominicae, as one long* 1.1 since complained, a swine-sty before a sanctuary? We are now be∣come Gergesites said that Martyrin Q. Maryes dayes, that would rather loose Christ, then our porkets. Take up your crosse, is a hard saying: therefore Christ must be prayd to be gon, lest all our pigs be drowned. The devil shall have his dwelling again in ma∣ny* 1.2 mens selves, rather then in their pigs. Therefore to the devil 〈◊〉〈◊〉 they go and dwell with him, &c. Thus MrBradford. And oh how 〈◊〉〈◊〉, shall Christ regest one day upon all unworthy 〈◊〉〈◊〉, Depart from me, ye wicked?
