and_o for_o this_o cause_n we_o have_v see_v many_o man_n to_o feign_v miracle_n in_o house_n and_o place_n of_o devotion_n for_o straightway_o the_o people_n flock_n unto_o they_o and_o hold_v they_o in_o great_a reverence_n as_o person_n of_o who_o god_n make_v a_o special_a account_n and_o if_o they_o be_v poor_a they_o favour_v they_o with_o large_a alm_n and_o so_o some_o sin_n upon_o

they_o may_v come_v to_o the_o wellhead_n of_o their_o desire_n i_o leave_v aside_o the_o malice_n of_o those_o who_o require_v miracle_n at_o god_n hand_n thereby_o to_o tempt_v his_o almightiness_n

cruel_a chastisement_n the_o last_o cause_n be_v for_o that_o many_o of_o the_o vulgar_a be_v reliligious_o give_v and_o hold_v dear_a that_o god_n may_v be_v honour_v sign_n and_o magnify_v which_o be_v much_o soon_o bring_v about_o by_o way_n of_o miracle_n than_o by_o natural_a effect_n but_o the_o common_a sort_n of_o man_n know_v not_o that_o work_v above_o nature_n and_o wonder_a be_v do_v

man_n have_v a_o wit_n appropriate_v to_o natural_a philosophy_n be_v to_o see_v whether_o he_o be_v addict_v to_o reduce_v all_o matter_n to_o miracle_n without_o distinction_n and_o contrariwise_o such_o as_o hold_v not_o themselves_o content_v until_o they_o know_v the_o particular_a cause_n of_o every_o effect_n leave_v no_o occasion_n to_o mistrust_v the_o goodness_n of_o their_o wit_n these_o do_v well_o know_v that_o there_o be_v effect_n which_o must_v be_v reduce_v to_o god_n immediate_o as_o miracle_n and_o other_o to_o nature_n and_o such_o be_v those_o which_o have_v their_o

for_o the_o preservation_n thereof_o for_o in_o the_o same_o manner_n it_o be_v usual_o say_v that_o the_o king_n and_o civil_a reason_n do_v no_o man_n wrong_v in_o which_o kind_n of_o speech_n no_o
