Pope Alexander the first (as the papists feign) ordained water mingled with salt to be hallowed,1 & afterward sprinkled upon the people, to put away their sins, and to make them holy and pure: He also commanded, that it should be kept both in churches and in houses to chase and drive away devils and wicked spirits,2 not only out of houses where men dwell, but also out of the hearts of the faithful: as though faith and the devil could dwell together in one heart In the year, &c. 110.

The words of pope Alexander's canon are these.1 We bless the water mingled with salt for this purpose, that all that be sprinkled therewith, may be made holy and pure: which thing we command all Priests likewise to do.
