3 Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains:



Ver. 3. Who had his dwelling among the tombs] The burial places of the saints were anciently thought to have a kind of holiness in them. Hence grew that superstition of meeting and praying together at the saints’ sepulchres; and afterwards of praying for them, and to them. Which to foment, the devil usually haunted such places, there to play his pranks.
