This kind of devils goeth not out but by prayer and fasting. Math. xxvij. Not that the devil is cast out by merits of fasting or praying. For he sayeth before that for there unbelief's sake they could not cast him out. It is faith no doubt y• casteth out the devils & faith it is that fasteth & prayeth. Faith hath the promises of God where unto she cleaveth / and in all things thirsteth the honour of God She fasteth to subdue the body unto the sprite that the prayer be not ⟨image 35⟩let / and that the sprite may quietly talk with God: she also when so ever opportunity is given prayeth god to fulfil his promises unto his praise and glory. And God which is merciful in promising and true to fulfil them / casteth out the devils and doth all that faith desireth and satisfieth her thirst.
