ing as greate power in that commission, as anie
of the reste. It is easie then to be vnderstand that the casting out of
Deuilles, is by the vertue of fasting and prayer, and in-calling of the
name of God, suppose manie imperfectiones be in the person that is the
instrumente,(M30) as CHRIST him selfe teacheth vs of the power that false
Prophets sall haue to caste out Devils. It is no wounder then, these
respects of this action being considered, that it may be possible to the
_Papistes_, though erring in sundrie points of Religion to accomplish
this, if they vse the right forme prescribed by CHRIST herein. For what
the worse is that action that they erre in other thinges, more then their
Baptisme is the worse that they erre in the other Sacrament, and haue
eiked many vaine freittes to the Baptisme it selfe.

PHI. Surelie it is no little wonder that God should permit the bodies of
anie of the faithfull to be so dishonoured, as to be a dwelling place to
that vncleane spirite.

EPI. There is it which I told right now, would prooue and strengthen my
argument of the deuils entring in the dead bodies of the faithfull. For if
he is permitted to enter in their liuing bodies, euen when they are ioyned
with the soule: how much more will God permit him to enter in their dead
carions, which is no more man, but the filthie and corruptible caise of
man. For as CHRIST sayth, (M31) _It is not any thing that enters within
man that defiles him, but onely that which proccedes and commeth out of
him_.

_The description of the fourth kinde of Spirites called the_ Phairie:
_What is possible therein, and what is but illusiones. How far this
Dialogue entreates of all these thinges, and to what end._

PHILOMATHES.

Now I pray you come on to that fourth kinde of spirites.

EPI. That fourth kinde of spirites, which by the Gentiles was called
_Diana_, and her wandring court, and amongst vs was called the _Phairie_
(as I tould you) or our good neighboures, was one of the sortes of
illusiones that was rifest in the time of _Papistrie_: for although it was
holden odious to Prophesie by the deuill, yet whome these kinde of
Spirites carryed awaie, and informed, they were thought to be sonsiest and
of best life. To speake of the many vaine trattles founded vpon that
illusion: How there was a King and Queene of _Phairie_, of such a iolly
court & train as they had, how they had a teynd, & dutie, as it were, of
all good
