Did not Satan reenter to the house swept and garnished, with seven worse spirits, whiles it was empty? Behold then, when it is emptied, and washed, and sweetened, it must be filled again: a vacuity is not allowable. It must be replenished with somewhat, either evil or good. If God be not present, Satan will not be absent. When it is evacuated of the works of the flesh, ²it must be supplied with the fruits of the Spirit. Humility must take up the room, which pride had in the heart. Charitableness must steppe into the seat of avarice. Love extrude malice, mildness anger, patience murmuring. Sobriety must dry up the floods of drunkenness. Continence cool the inflammations of Lust. Peace ⟨p. 30⟩must quite the head from dissentions. Honesty pull off Hypocrisies visor; and Religion put profaneness to an irrevocable exile.
