They granted that Christs disciples wrought miracles, only by the name of God. And yet that they allowed in the scholars, even of malice & hatred, and contrary to their conscience, they reproved and blasphemed in the master. Hereof Christ concludeth, if I cast out devils in the power of god, then doubtless the kingdom of God is among you: your own children shall be judges over you.

Paul for his preaching, was judged a Rebel: and all Christians were taken for enemies of all common estates: even so in these latter days, all these or other y like crimes, have been laid to y preachers & professors of Christs Gospel: y they have been godless, seditious, rebels, despisers of good orders, incestuous, adulterers, masters of all sin and wickedness.
