4. Yea those that accused Christ as casting out Devils by Devils, might have seen their own Children cast them out, Matt. 12. And those that were seduced, and quarrelled with the Apostles, could not deny but they themselves had received the Spirit by their Preaching: Paul appealeth to themselves when the Galatians were perverted, Gal. 3. 1, 2, 3.
