Math. cap. 12. ver. 43. When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. 44. Then he saith, I will return into my house, from whence I came out. And when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. 45.

Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.
