Nor in their own opinion was that which they said of Christ probable; 1because they otherwise thought of other men that cast out devils. Their own children (men bred and brought up among themselves) that cast out devils, as Christ did, were not by them thought to cast out devils by the power of Satan, but by the finger of God. Is it then likely, that in their consciences they thought that which they uttered with their tongues, that Christ cast out Devils by the Prince of Devils?

- 1Vers. 27:
That it was not possible, that by Satan, Satan should be cast out,1 Christ proveth by that superior power which he casteth one our, must have over him that is cast out: he must be able first to bind him, and then to spoil his house. But Satan hath not a superior power over himself: It is impossible that Satan should be stronger then Satan.
That it was not possible, that by Satan, Satan should be cast out,1 Christ proueth by that superiour power which he casteth one our, must haue ouer him that is cast out: he must bee able first to binde him, and then to spoile his house. But Satan hath not a superiour power ouer himselfe: It is impossible that Satan should be stronger then Satan.
