That when Simon Magus saw the holy Ghost was given of the Apostles by laying on of their hands, he brought money unto them, saying: Give me also this power, that on whom so ever I lay mine hand, he may receive the holy Ghost: but Peter answered him: Let thy silver perish together with thee (or as some do interpret it: Let thy money be with thee into perdition) which thinkest the gift of God may begotten with money. For thou hast neither part nor fellowship ⟨p. 22⟩in this doctrine: for thy hart is not right before God. Act. 8.
