For he was commanding the unclean spirit to come out from the man. For oftentimes it had seized him: and he was kept under guard, and bound with chains and fetters; and breaking the bands asunder, he was driven of the demon into the deserts.
For he comaundide þe vncleene spirit, þat he schulde go out fro þe man. For he took hym ofte tymes, and he was boundun with cheynes, and kept in stockis, and, whanne þe boondis weren brokun, he was lad of deuelis in to desert.
