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

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

to_o disprove_v this_o if_o it_o be_v false_a and_o feign_a and_o whether_o it_o be_v possible_a that_o whole_a city_n and_o country_n shall_v believe_v it_o and_o seal_v their_o belief_n thereof_o

of_o those_o time_n who_o heart_n be_v ready_a to_o burst_v with_o envy_n and_o malice_n at_o the_o success_n of_o the_o gospel_n never_o public_o object_v the_o forge_n or_o feign_v of_o those_o miracle_n by_o which_o it_o be_v confirm_v yea_o it_o be_v far_a observable_a that_o the_o heathen_n themselves_o and_o the_o great_a one_o among_o they_o too_o do_v open_o assent_v to_o the_o reality_n thereof_o we_o find_v it_o in_o true_a record_n how_o tiberius_n himself_o upon_o a_o letter_n from_o pilate_n concern_v jesus_n of_o the_o miracle_n he_o wrought_v and_o of_o the_o manner_n of_o his_o death_n and_o resurrection_n do_v move_v in_o the_o senate_n of_o rome_n that_o he_o may_v be_v admit_v among_o their_o god_n and_o though_o they_o refuse_v the_o motion_n because_o as_o some_o say_v it_o be_v not_o first_o move_v by_o themselves_o or_o as_o other_o say_v because_o if_o

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
