Matthew Poole and continuators on Acts 8:11

11 And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.

They acquiesced in what he said, and yielded obedience unto it; not attending onely to his words with their ears, but with their hearts; so true is that w[illegible: 2 letters]ch our Saviour says; Iohn 5.43. If any man come in his own name, him will ye receive. These Samaritans [illegible: 1 word] rise up in judgment against most men, who do not thus regard what was said by Christ, and such as he hath sent.

Made them as out of their wits, they were not themselves, and could not act their reason.

Such wonders as by the permission of God, and Satans power he did.
