Now, for this reason alone you ought to gladly read, speak, think, and use these things, even if you have no other profit and fruit from them than driving away the devil and evil thoughts by doing so. For he cannot hear or endure God's Word. God's Word is not like some other silly babbling, like the story about Dietrich of Berne, for example. But as St. Paul says in Romans 1:16, it is "the power of God." Yes, indeed, it is the power of God that give the devil burning pain and strengthens, comforts, and helps us beyond measure.
