It is a thing ever known that if a per= son possessed by an Evil Spirit is (as often it so happen) never so outragious whiles a good man is praying with and for the Afflicted, Let him Lay his hand on them and the Evil Spirit is Quiet. I hope this is no Evidence of any Covenant or voluntary Commu nion between the good man that is praying and that Evil Spirit. No more doth that Case before us Evince any Such Thing. 4.
