They deal as the Magicians of Egypt, when Moses came to do wonders, they imitated him in all the rest, except in one: so they strengthen themselves much in imitating the Protestants. We labour to build the walls of Jerusalem, they imitate us in building the walls of Jericho. We preach, to shake off drowsiness, and they fall a preaching. We print, and they print. We publish books of devotion, they go beyond us.

So by imitating our proceedings, wherein we have gained upon them, they like the Egyptian Magicians do the like, and God hardens their hearts, as he did Pharaoh's, by the Magicians.
