That also that Christ saith, how that it is harder for a rich man (who loveth his riches so, that he can not find in his hart, liberally and freely to help the poor and needy) to enter into the kingdom of heaven, then a Camel to go through the eye of a needle, declareth that he was not entered into the kingdom of heaven, that is to say, eternal life. But he that keepeth the commandments is entered into life: he hath life, and the spirit of life in him.

This kind of devils goeth not out 1but by prayer & fasting. Math. 27. Not that the devil is cast out by merits of fasting or praying. For he saith before, that for their unbelief's sake, they could not cast him out. It is faith 2no doubt that casteth out the devils, and faith it is that fasteth and prayeth. Faith hath the promises of God, where unto she cleaveth, and in all things thirsteth the honour of God. She fasteth 3to subdue the body unto the spirit that the prayer be not let, and that the spirit may quietly talk with God: she also whensoever opportunity is given, 4prayeth God to fulfil his promises unto his praise & 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.
