9 But seeing that God (as it hath been showed) useth for the working of miracles, 1both evil and good angels, and men; godly men ought not therefore to be aggrieved, because this power is not oftentimes given unto them. For they are not for this cause of any worse condition than others, to whom the working of miracles is granted. For the Lord said unto his disciples, when they returned from their embassy; Rejoice not in this, 2that spirits are subjected unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names be written in heaven. 3Some there be so desirous of these things, as to work signs, they fear not to use the help even of the devil; and excuse themselves under this pretence, that God himself, about the working of signs, useth satan; in following of whom they say that they do well: so far are they from confessing themselves guilty of offence. Further, they say that Paul delivered certain to be vexed of the devil; and that therefore they also may use his ministry.

For they are not for this cause of anie woorse condition than others, to whom the working of miracles is granted. For the Lord said vnto his disciples, when they returned from their ambassage; Reioice not in this, 2that spirits are subiected vnto you; but rather reioice, bicause your names be written in heauen. 3Some there be so desirous of these things, as to worke signes, they feare not to vse the helpe euen of the diuell; and excuse themselues vnder this pretence, that God himselfe, about the working of signes, vseth sathan; in following of whom they saie that they doo well: so far are they from confessing themselues guiltie of offense. Further, they saie that Paule deliuered certeine to be vexed of the diuell; and that therefore they also may vse his ministerie.
