Theo. S. Mark touching this matter sayeth,1 that he had his abiding of him that he spake thereof, among the graves, and no man could bind him, no not with chains: because that when he was often bound with fetters & chains, he plucked the chains in s•nder, and brake the fetters in pieces, neither could any man tame him: and always both night and day, he cried in the mountains,2 and in the graves, and stroke himself with stones. Saint Luke sayeth further of this matter, that he was long time possessed with the devil, and he ware no Clothes, neither abode in house, but in graves, and breaking the bands that he was bound with, was carried of the Devil into the wilderness.
