to_o bely_v god_n and_o their_o own_o conscience_n we_o may_v imagine_v it_o must_v have_v be_v for_o some_o advantage_n to_o themselves_o but_o contrariwise_o they_o know_v that_o to_o profess_v christ_n and_o the_o christian_a religion_n be_v to_o bring_v upon_o themselves_o and_o they_o the_o great_a odium_fw-la and_o persecution_n yea_o god_n himself_o will_v have_v abhor_v such_o miscreant_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_n we_o find_v they_o be_v approve_v of_o god_n and_o that_o by_o many_o miraculous_a sign_n and_o wonder_n which_o he_o do_v by_o they_o and_o by_o that_o abundant_a measure_n of_o his_o spirit_n which_o he_o pour_v out_o in_o extraordinary_a gift_n and_o grace_n upon_o they_o and_o this_o will_v have_v lead_v i_o to_o the_o last_o term_n in_o my_o assumption_n that_o jesus_n his_o testimony_n of_o himself_o be_v confirm_v not_o only_o by_o his_o own_o miracle_n but_o also_o by_o the_o miracle_n that_o his_o follower_n do_v in_o his_o name_n for_o the_o truth_n be_v they_o do_v as_o great_a miracle_n in_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n as_o ever_o he_o do_v in_o his_o own_o person_n they_o cure_v all_o manner_n of_o infirmity_n and_o that_o not_o leisurely_o by_o the_o application_n of_o medicine_n but_o sudden_o and_o miraculous_o by_o a_o word_n speak_v the_o very_a shadow_n of_o peter_n one_o of_o his_o disciple_n heal_v the_o sick_a

which_o be_v that_o jesus_n of_o nazareth_n be_v the_o messiah_n after_o a_o short_a pause_n l_n friend_n the_o rabbi_n break_v silence_n and_o speak_v as_o follow_v sir_n i_o desire_v you_o will_v have_v the_o like_a patience_n in_o hear_v my_o answer_n as_o i_o have_v have_v in_o hear_v your_o argument_n the_o question_n before_o we_o be_v of_o great_a consideration_n both_o with_o we_o jew_n and_o you_o christian_n and_o you_o may_v imagine_v that_o before_o now_o i_o have_v debate_v it_o both_o with_o myself_o and_o other_o i_o remember_v some_o year_n ago_o in_o portugal_n i_o be_v assault_v with_o this_o very_a argument_n of_o prove_v jesus_n of_o nazareth_n to_o be_v the_o messiah_n by_o his_o work_n of_o miracle_n and_o find_v that_o it_o be_v much_o urge_v by_o the_o christian_n i_o spend_v some_o time_n in_o study_v that_o point_n and_o form_v a_o answer_n to_o this_o argument_n in_o writing_n and_o that_o write_v i_o bring_v with_o i_o which_o i_o the_o rather_o do_v because_o my_o friend_n tell_v i_o this_o be_v the_o subject_a to_o be_v argue_v and_o i_o do_v suppose_v you_o may_v happy_o attempt_v the_o prove_v of_o it_o by_o this_o very_a medium_n and_o because_o i_o have_v a_o bad_a memory_n and_o speak_v no_o good_a english_a i_o shall_v beg_v leave_n to_o make_v use_n of_o my_o paper_n so_o have_v pull_v a_o little_a manuscript_n out_o of_o his_o

call_v your_o proposition_n i_o shall_v offer_v nothing_o in_o contradiction_n to_o it_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v found_v on_o the_o great_a reason_n nor_o will_v any_o of_o we_o gainsay_v those_o two_o

jehovah_n be_v a_o god_n of_o truth_n and_o righteousness_n but_o sir_n as_o to_o that_o which_o you_o call_v your_o assumption_n it_o do_v not_o in_o our_o opinion_n carry_v the_o like_a evidence_n and_o demonstration_n with_o it_o for_o to_o be_v plain_a with_o you_o it_o do_v not_o appear_v to_o we_o that_o though_o jesus_n of_o nazareth_n do_v testify_v he_o be_v the_o messiah_n he_o confirm_v that_o testimony_n by_o such_o infallible_a miracle_n either_o of_o his_o own_o or_o his_o follower_n nor_o have_v any_o thing_n be_v urge_v by_o you_o for_o the_o manifest_v thereof_o but_o what_o you_o have_v find_v in_o your_o own_o book_n which_o you_o can_v but_o know_v be_v question_v by_o we_o as_o to_o their_o authority_n and_o verity_n and_o sure_o have_v our_o father_n and_o the_o chief_a priest_n of_o our_o nation_n see_v any_o such_o miracle_n do_v by_o jesus_n of_o nazareth_n as_o your_o record_n do_v mention_n they_o be_v man_n of_o that_o religion_n and_o learning_n that_o they_o will_v not_o have_v so_o evil_o entreat_v he_o but_o will_v have_v pay_v he_o more_o respect_n and_o veneration_n we_o believe_v therefore_o as_o our_o ancestor_n have_v believe_v before_o we_o that_o they_o be_v some_o of_o they_o forgery_n and_o feign_a miracle_n and_o that_o other_o of_o they_o pardon_n the_o word_n be_v diabolical_a achievement_n and_o we_o be_v the_o more_o confirm_v in_o this_o belief_n because_o your_o latter_a record_n and_o chronicle_n do_v tell_v we_o of_o multitude_n of_o miracle_n which_o be_v wrought_v as_o they_o say_v by_o man_n and_o woman_n of_o your_o religion_n which_o seem_v to_o we_o to_o be_v very_o fabulous_a yea_o ridiculous_a yet_o these_o be_v receive_v among_o you_o likewise_o as_o certain_a and_o infallible_a and_o have_v the_o approbation_n of_o your_o church_n and_o of_o the_o high_a priest_n who_o you_o call_v the_o pope_n and_o the_o sanhedrim_n of_o cardinal_n and_o some_o of_o these_o do_v vie_v with_o the_o miracle_n of_o jesus_n and_o his_o disciple_n and_o seem_v to_o be_v much_o of_o the_o same_o sort_n or_o kind_n let_v i_o name_v a_o few_o of_o many_o and_o they_o be_v such_o as_o i_o have_v take_v out_o of_o great_a author_n and_o license_v or_o allow_v record_n and_o pardon_v i_o if_o i_o do_v cite_v the_o author_n and_o place_n where_o they_o be_v chronicle_v if_o you_o desire_v it_o i_o can_v produce_v my_o voucher_n for_o every_o story_n and_o those_o such_o as_o be_v authentic_a then_o take_v up_o his_o little_a book_n and_o put_v on_o a_o pair_n of_o spectacle_n he_o read_v

and_o his_o disciple_n as_o for_o instanee_n your_o record_n speak_v of_o jesus_n his_o fast_v forty_o day_n and_o i_o can_v show_v you_o where_o it_o be_v record_v of_o st._n patrick_n that_o he_o
