first_o of_o the_o miraculous_a gift_n of_o heal_a because_o that_o be_v first_o place_v in_o the_o text_n and_o the_o disease_n depart_v from_o they_o it_o be_v not_o here_o particular_o set_v down_o what_o kind_n of_o disease_n be_v heal_v by_o the_o apostle_n but_o it_o be_v certain_a by_o the_o circumstance_n of_o the_o place_n that_o he_o cure_v all_o whatsoever_o for_o cure_v whereof_o he_o send_v napkin_n and_o partlet_n and_o it_o agree_v very_o well_o to_o the_o commission_n which_o our_o saviour_n christ_n give_v to_o his_o apostle_n in_o the_o 10._o chapter_n of_o the_o gospel_n after_o saint_n matthew_n verse_n 1_o where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o give_v power_n unto_o his_o disciple_n to_o heal_v every_o disease_n and_o every_o infirmity_n that_o be_v all_o manner_n of_o disease_n which_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v move_v they_o to_o take_v in_o hand_n and_o this_o be_v confirm_v by_o their_o continual_a practice_n throughout_o the_o whole_a new_a testament_n wherein_o we_o can_v find_v especial_o after_o the_o ascension_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n that_o they_o ever_o fail_v in_o heal_v any_o disease_n whatsoever_o which_o they_o take_v upon_o they_o to_o cure_v for_o this_o extraordinary_a power_n of_o heal_v be_v not_o a_o natural_a faculty_n but_o a_o divine_a gift_n of_o god_n supernatural_o inspire_v by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n to_o who_o nothing_o be_v impossible_a and_o all_o and_o every_o thing_n be_v of_o like_a easiness_n yea_o that_o which_o to_o we_o seem_v nay_o and_o be_v indeed_o most_o hard_o and_o difficult_a be_v soon_o bring_v to_o pass_v when_o as_o god_n will_v have_v his_o glory_n show_v in_o a_o special_a manner_n thereby_o as_o in_o this_o kind_n of_o heal_v wherefore_o they_o which_o pretend_v this_o miraculous_a gift_n of_o heal_a and_o can_v or_o do_v not_o cure_v all_o but_o some_o certain_a of_o those_o disease_n which_o they_o take_v in_o hand_n be_v great_o to_o be_v suspect_v of_o which_o sort_n be_v those_o which_o among_o we_o be_v call_v wise_a and_o cunning_a folk_n whereof_o some_o can_v cure_v but_o some_o one_o or_o a_o few_o particular_a disease_n as_o for_o example_n they_o which_o have_v a_o charm_n for_o the_o toothache_n a_o prayer_n or_o a_o blessing_n for_o a_o fistula_n and_o such_o like_a other_o do_v profess_v the_o cure_n of_o all_o disease_n and_o yet_o neither_o of_o they_o both_o do_v always_o and_o at_o all_o time_n perform_v that_o which_o they_o pretend_v in_o this_o behalf_n no_o not_o in_o those_o disease_n in_o cure_v whereof_o they_o will_v seem_v to_o be_v most_o expert_a the_o reason_n be_v this_o when_o disease_n can_v be_v cure_v by_o natural_a mean_n then_o be_v they_o pass_v the_o devil_n reach_n to_o heal_v and_o therefore_o his_o instrument_n must_v needs_o fail_v therein_o to_o make_v this_o more_o plain_a we_o must_v note_v that_o among_o all_o the_o disease_n set_v down_o by_o the_o physician_n in_o their_o treatise_n some_o be_v curable_a and_o some_o be_v uncurable_a i_o call_v those_o curable_a which_o nature_n either_o of_o herself_o alone_o or_o by_o the_o help_n of_o medicine_n be_v able_a to_o work_v out_o and_o expel_v of_o this_o sort_n we_o see_v many_o example_n by_o daily_a experience_n which_o nature_n cure_v if_o she_o be_v strong_a and_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o disease_n light_n or_o if_o she_o be_v weak_a or_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o disease_n stubborn_a by_o the_o mean_n of_o physic_n now_o these_o kind_n of_o grief_n the_o forcerer_n can_v and_o do_v heal_v and_o for_o as_o much_o as_o some_o disease_n be_v more_o difficult_a than_o other_o yea_o some_o be_v so_o hardly_o cure_v as_o that_o few_o even_o of_o the_o best_a sort_n of_o physician_n except_o god_n his_o especial_a
