in_o the_o church_n the_o christian_a faith_n be_v already_o not_o only_o sufficient_o but_o abundant_o confirm_v by_o the_o miracle_n the_o infallible_a miracle_n of_o our_o saviour_n and_o the_o primitive_a christian_n who_o show_v their_o patent_n or_o commission_n under_o this_o broad-seal_n of_o heaven_n to_o the_o conviction_n and_o utter_v silence_v of_o their_o most_o obstinate_a

cease_v so_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o ordinance_n thereof_o be_v at_o first_o confirm_v by_o the_o uncontrolled_a miracle_n of_o our_o saviour_n and_o the_o primitive_a christian_n as_o indeed_o it_o be_v meet_v that_o those_o who_o pretend_v a_o new_a revelation_n from_o god_n shall_v confirm_v it_o with_o a_o divine_a attestation_n but_o since_o the_o christian_a religion_n be_v now_o diffuse_v both_o far_a and_o near_o for_o the_o same_o reason_n all_o miracle_n be_v at_o a_o end_n as_o man_n water_n orchard_n at_o the_o first_o plant_n of_o they_o but_o when_o the_o tree_n be_v
