Water is conjured / that it may be made a Conjured water / to chase away all the power off the enemy / to chase away devils / &c. Bread also hath his second blessing / that it may be health off mind / and body / to all them that receive it. If we do think that such strength is to be given / to salt / water / and bread / or if we judge that these things are able to receive any such virtue / or efficacy / what leave we to Christ our saviour? But if we think not so / why then do we pray on this sort? Forasmuch as all prayer ought to be done in faith.
