a_o doctrine_n which_o christ_n never_o teach_v and_o which_o contradict_v our_o sense_n and_o our_o reason_n at_o the_o same_o time_n and_o the_o story_n which_o they_o tell_v of_o the_o sweat_a and_o motion_n of_o their_o image_n serve_v to_o advance_v the_o worship_v of_o image_n in_o a_o word_n their_o work_n be_v trifle_v and_o vain_a and_o their_o doctrine_n be_v impious_a and_o false_a and_z to_o say_v the_o least_o of_o it_o not_o reveal_v by_o god_n 3._o the_o miracle_n which_o christ_n do_v be_v seasonable_a and_o necessary_a at_o that_o time_n to_o confirm_v his_o doctrine_n whether_o we_o consider_v the_o obstinacy_n of_o the_o jew_n or_o the_o idolatry_n of_o the_o gentile_n upon_o both_o account_n it_o be_v needful_a that_o the_o christian_a doctrine_n shall_v be_v confirm_v with_o miracle_n and_o so_o it_o be_v but_o the_o popish_a miracle_n be_v out_o of_o time_n there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o they_o to_o confirm_v the_o christian_a doctrine_n where_o it_o be_v already_o plant_v miracle_n be_v for_o the_o sake_n of_o unbeliever_n and_o as_o the_o world_n grow_v christian_n they_o cease_v nor_o be_v it_o to_o be_v imagine_v that_o god_n will_v work_v they_o without_o any_o cause_n at_o all_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o the_o great_a number_n of_o miracle_n be_v wrought_v by_o moses_n their_o lawgiver_n in_o egypt_n and_o in_o the_o wilderness_n before_o and_o upon_o the_o give_v the_o law_n no_o man_n wrought_v so_o many_o miracle_n nay_o not_o all_o the_o succeed_a prophet_n together_o as_o he_o wrought_v thus_o be_v the_o law_n confirm_v and_o when_o this_o be_v do_v you_o rare_o read_v of_o miracle_n wrought_v afterward_o when_o the_o jew_n have_v receive_v and_o continue_v in_o the_o profession_n of_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n the_o great_a number_n that_o be_v wrought_v afterward_o be_v when_o there_o be_v the_o great_a reason_n for_o they_o and_o that_o be_v after_o jeroboam_n have_v revolt_v from_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o set_v up_o his_o calf_n in_o dan_n and_o bethel_n and_o no_o less_o than_o ten_o tribe_n revolt_v with_o he_o then_o indeed_o there_o be_v some_o number_n of_o miracle_n wrought_v to_o convince_v they_o of_o their_o sin_n and_o reduce_v they_o from_o their_o schism_n then_o be_v the_o altar_n at_o bethel_n cleave_v in_o piece_n jeroboam_n hand_n wither_v and_o restore_v as_o miraculous_o upon_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o man_n of_o god_n and_o these_o miracle_n be_v wrought_v in_o bethel_n among_o the_o schismatic_n which_o be_v to_o be_v convince_v and_o reduce_v then_o elijah_n shut_v up_o the_o heaven_n be_v miraculous_o feed_v by_o the_o raven_n multiply_v the_o meal_n and_o raise_v to_o life_n the_o widow_n son_n he_o call_v for_o fire_n from_o heaven_n and_o fast_n forty_o day_n and_o destroy_v the_o captain_n and_o their_o fifty_n by_o fire_n which_o he_o call_v from_o heaven_n he_o divide_v jordan_n with_o his_o garment_n and_o be_v miraculous_o take_v up_o into_o heaven_n and_o elishah_n during_o this_o time_n do_v many_o wonderful_a work_n also_o he_o divide_v the_o river_n heal_v the_o water_n increase_v the_o widow_n oil_n foretell_v that_o the_o shunamite_n shall_v have_v a_o child_n and_o raise_v it_o from_o the_o dead_a he_o remove_v the_o death_n that_o be_v in_o the_o pot_n miraculous_o feed_v the_o people_n heal_v naaman_n of_o his_o leprosy_n he_o cause_v iron_n to_o swim_v strike_v gehazi_n with_o a_o leprosy_n and_o the_o enemy_n of_o israel_n with_o blindness_n and_o his_o dry_a bone_n after_o all_o these_o thing_n which_o he_o do_v in_o his_o life_n restore_v one_o that_o be_v dead_a to_o life_n again_o thus_o in_o a_o little_a time_n many_o miracle_n be_v wrought_v more_o than_o have_v be_v wrought_v before_o and_o after_o for_o some_o hundred_o of_o year_n so_o that_o the_o great_a number_n of_o miracle_n be_v wrought_v upon_o the_o give_v the_o law_n and_o upon_o the_o great_a defection_n from_o it_o and_o that_o to_o confirm_v the_o truth_n and_o convince_v gainsayers_a but_o what_o mean_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n to_o boast_v of_o miracle_n if_o they_o be_v wrought_v in_o she_o own_o communion_n they_o serve_v no_o purpose_n there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o a_o miracle_n where_o man_n believe_v without_o it_o their_o miracle_n be_v do_v at_o a_o great_a distance_n from_o we_o who_o be_v to_o be_v convince_v and_o such_o they_o be_v which_o we_o can_v see_v at_o all_o or_o else_o we_o may_v easy_o see_v through_o they_o of_o one_o thing_n we_o be_v sure_a viz._n
