And for that cause as we have said, they which contend by prayers to obtain signs, do labour in vain, except they believe. Because prayers without faith are of no value with God, which Christ hath manifestly taught in Math. the .17. For when his disciples could not heal the lunatic child, when the cause thereof was demanded, he said, that it came of their incredulity: whose answer openly declareth,1 what we must judge of those conjurers, which at the sepulchres of saints and at relics, go about to expel devils. All things are there feignedly done. Dead men are without faith called upon, and the devil playeth together with idolaters, and feigneth that he believeth, to the end that pernicious worshippings may be retained: which is hereby manifest, because those Exorcists are both men most unpure, and also they do all things there without faith.
