He saith that pilgrims put not trust in the place, as Necromancers do in 1their circles, and saith he wotteth not what, to mock out the text of our Saviour of praying in the spirit. And in the end he confoundeth him self saying, we reckon our prayers more pleasant in one place than in an other. And that must be by the reason of the place, for God is as good in one place as in an other and also the man. Moreover 2where a man pleaseth God best, thither is he most bound to go. And so that imagination bindeth a man to the place with a false faith, as Necromancers trust in their circles.
