shall_v we_o not_o look_v upon_o it_o as_o a_o miracle_n now_o all_o this_o import_v that_o a_o sufficiency_n of_o food_n and_o durable_a clothing_n shall_v be_v in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n

miracle_n and_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n be_v relate_v one_o to_o another_o and_o that_o the_o chief_a and_o adequate_a end_n and_o reason_n of_o miracle_n be_v that_o they_o be_v portion_n and_o

that_o miracle_n be_v not_o cease_v but_o a_o return_n of_o they_o be_v to_o be_v expect_v see_v from_o all_o i_o have_v discourse_v it_o appear_v very_o undoubted_a that_o a_o return_v of_o miracle_n be_v and_o aught_o to_o be_v expect_v because_o the_o great_a and_o adequate_a end_n of_o miracle_n be_v a_o connexion_n with_o and_o even_o a_o introduction_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o the_o world_n to_o come_v which_o kingdom_n and_o world_n to_o come_v be_v not_o yet_o come_v and_o when_o it_o shall_v indeed_o come_v it_o shall_v have_v a_o mighty_a power_n of_o sign_n wonder_n miracle_n and_o gift_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n according_a to_o his_o own_o will_n to_o appear_v with_o it_o to_o introduce_v settle_v and_o establish_v it_o in_o the_o order_n and_o glory_n of_o the_o new_a creation_n i_o shall_v therefore_o before_o i_o come_v to_o the_o downright_a proof_n endeavour_v to_o anticipate_v or_o to_o be_v before_o hand_n with_o the_o great_a objection_n i_o meet_v with_o to_o it_o object_n the_o great_a objection_n i_o find_v in_o my_o own_o thought_n and_o which_o raise_v and_o confirm_v i_o doubt_v not_o in_o other_o a_o resolve_a pre-judgment_n that_o miracle_n shall_v not_o return_v be_v because_o that_o now_o for_o a_o thousand_o two_o hundred_o and_o sixty_o year_n or_o near_o about_o miracle_n except_o the_o lie_v and_o legendary_a one_o the_o antichristian_a apostasy_n have_v pretend_v to_o there_o have_v be_v a_o go_v off_o and_o a_o cessation_n of_o the_o true_a power_n of_o miracle_n and_o the_o reason_n to_o be_v assign_v for_o it_o have_v be_v think_v because_o the_o doctrine_n of_o salvation_n in_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o canon_n of_o scripture_n and_o particular_o of_o the_o new_a testnment_n have_v be_v so_o sum_v up_o finish_v settle_v and_o seal_v so_o confirm_v and_o assure_v by_o undoubted_a power_n of_o miracle_n that_o bring_v it_o into_o that_o settlement_n and_o give_v it_o so_o large_a a_o spread_v in_o the_o world_n that_o any_o further_a use_n or_o service_n of_o miracle_n seem_v whole_o superfluous_a and_o unnecessary_a for_o if_o it_o be_v not_o so_o it_o look_v very_o strange_a and_o there_o seem_v no_o reason_n to_o be_v give_v why_o god_n shall_v be_v please_v to_o order_v so_o long_a a_o parenthesis_n so_o long_o and_o dark_a a_o interval_n such_o a_o long_a space_n and_o as_o i_o may_v call_v it_o gap_n between_o the_o power_n of_o miracle_n in_o the_o day_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o apostle_n and_o some_o space_n after_o and_o the_o present_a time_n and_o indeed_o i_o will_v add_v to_o give_v the_o objection_n all_o the_o strength_n i_o can_v that_o the_o papist_n or_o the_o antichristian_o both_o pretend_v themselves_o to_o miracle_n and_o find_v among_o the_o protestant_n and_o reform_a church_n no_o such_o power_n nor_o so_o much_o as_o pretention_n to_o it_o have_v be_v loud_a and_o clamorous_a upon_o it_o and_o have_v hereby_o assume_v it_o as_o a_o good_a reason_n to_o damn_v the_o reformation_n because_o it_o have_v come_v naked_a and_o unarm_v of_o miracle_n from_o whence_o the_o reform_a not_o have_v consider_v enough_o the_o true_a reason_n of_o miracle_n nor_o of_o their_o cessation_n have_v be_v under_o a_o necessity_n to_o defend_v themselves_o by_o assert_v miracle_n be_v whole_o cease_v and_o no_o return_n to_o be_v expect_v and_o that_o the_o popish_a pretence_n have_v be_v but_o so_o much_o counterfeit_n and_o falshdod_n in_o which_o last_a part_n they_o have_v speak_v most_o evident_a and_o undoubted_a truth_n and_o this_o defence_n have_v also_o in_o the_o first_o part_n seem_v so_o necessary_a that_o it_o can_v not_o be_v but_o it_o must_v sink_v deep_a into_o the_o mind_n of_o all_o the_o most_o holy_a sober_a serious_a wife_n protestant_n as_o well_o as_o the_o more_o general_a profession_n of_o the_o reformation_n and_o have_v bring_v all_o discourse_n of_o a_o return_n of_o miracle_n under_o great_a disrepute_n as_o wild_a and_o fanatical_a although_o indeed_o this_o part_n ●f_a the_o defence_n arise_v from_o a_o not_o due_a consideration_n of_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o cessation_n and_o of_o the_o certain_a return_n of_o miracle_n when_o the_o force_n of_o those_o reason_n sh●ll_v expire_v and_o i_o can_v but_o acknowledge_v it_o may_v seem_v strange_a according_a to_o the_o very_a reason_n i_o be_o to_o lay_v down_o why_o there_o have_v be_v such_o a_o cessation_n of_o miracle_n and_o there_o do_v arise_v a_o difficulty_n upon_o it_o that_o there_o be_v not_o any_o return_n of_o the_o power_n of_o miracle_n with_o the_o reformation_n but_o i_o hope_v to_o give_v fair_a solution_n to_o it_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n i_o can_v but_o take_v notice_n that_o the_o popish_a pretension_n to_o a_o constant_a power_n of_o miracle_n do_v very_o notable_o not_o only_o agree_v with_o the_o character_n of_o prophecy_n in_o their_o lie_a wonder_n but_o also_o that_o they_o make_v indeed_o a_o counterfeit_n kingdom_n to_o the_o true_a kingdom_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n both_o in_o prophecy_n and_o in_o their_o own_o pretence_n and_o so_o far_o counterfeit_n prove_v what_o ought_v to_o be_v in_o the_o truth_n and_o the_o life_n of_o that_o it_o be_v the_o counterfeit_n of_o and_o by_o prophecy_n it_o be_v to_o counterfeit_v they_o give_v a_o proof_n by_o the_o by_o that_o miracle_n do_v indeed_o appertain_v to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o ghrist_n but_o to_o come_v to_o the_o main_a answer_n to_o this_o objection_n i_o propose_v upon_o it_o first_o to_o observe_v the_o state_n of_o miracle_n or_o miraculous_a power_n in_o all_o the_o several_a age_n or_o time_n record_v to_o we_o in_o scripture_n and_o to_o collect_v the_o light_n that_o may_v from_o thence_o be_v receive_v to_o show_v that_o miracle_n shall_v certain_o return_v and_o introduce_v the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n 2._o i_o will_v lay_v down_o what_o upon_o great_a reason_n i_o esteem_v to_o be_v the_o true_a cause_n of_o the_o cessation_n of_o miracle_n these_o last_o twelve_o hundred_o and_o sixty_o year_n and_o why_o especial_o since_o the_o reformation_n miracle_n have_v not_o return_v see_v as_o miracle_n pertain_v to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n so_o the_o reformation_n itself_o be_v a_o appearance_n of_o that_o kingdom_n wherein_o i_o will_v consider_v any_o collateral_a objection_n that_o may_v spring_v up_o from_o any_o discourse_n in_o this_o answer_n that_o therefore_o which_o in_o general_n i_o pitch_v upon_o be_v that_o when_o we_o look_v upon_o the_o several_a variety_n of_o appearance_n of_o miraculous_a emanation_n or_o flow_n out_o from_o the_o divine_a glo●y_n and_o power_n in_o miracle_n according_a to_o the_o record_n of_o scripture_n there_o have_v be_v no_o time_n whole_o without_o they_o of_o which_o any_o record_n of_o scripture_n have_v give_v we_o the_o memorial_n because_o there_o be_v always_o a_o certainty_n of_o that_o

the_o divine_a spirit_n in_o it_o one_o part_n compare_v with_o another_o by_o the_o assistance_n of_o the_o same_o spirit_n it_o will_v appear_v that_o as_o daniel_n seventy_o week_n bring_v down_o

of_o prophecy_n that_o at_o this_o very_a advantage_n the_o apostle_n go_v on_o to_o set_v out_o this_o apostasy_n at_o this_o very_a joint_n of_o discourse_n of_o the_o dark_a place_n which_o that_o

they_o can_v be_v save_v by_o that_o they_o must_v be_v save_v by_o a_o new_a covenant_n a_o covenant_n that_o be_v all_o miracle_n this_o i_o will_v show_v you_o in_o two_o part_n of_o it_o 1._o when_o god_n justify_v sinner_n by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o another_o by_o the_o obedience_n and_o by_o the_o suffer_a and_o by_o the_o death_n of_o another_o this_o be_v miracle_n and_o it_o be_v as_o great_a miracle_n as_o any_o of_o the_o thing_n that_o man_n allow_v to_o be_v miracle_n and_o indeed_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o internal_a excellency_n the_o intrinsic_a worth_n of_o the_o thing_n it_o be_v far_o great_a than_o any_o miracle_n except_o what_o concern_v the_o very_a excellency_n and_o glory_n of_o the_o person_n of_o the_o mediator_n those_o wonder_n of_o miracle_n if_o i_o may_v so_o speak_v oh_o therefore_o that_o we_o can_v consider_v it_o if_o we_o be_v pardon_v in_o christ_n if_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o christ_n if_o we_o be_v save_v from_o hell_n from_o

that_o seem_v to_o understand_v miracle_n best_o can_v deny_v it_o be_v not_o miracle_n a_o lift_v up_o of_o the_o present_a state_n of_o the_o world_n above_o the_o first_o law_n and_o order_n of_o

the_o world_n to_o come_v only_a god_n may_v have_v moderate_v the_o point_n take_v a_o little_a in_o the_o place_n of_o a_o great_a deal_n sincerity_n in_o the_o place_n of_o perfect_a obedience_n

work_n now_o work_n be_v the_o very_a foundation_n of_o the_o first_o creation_n man_n make_v in_o knowledge_n righteousness_n and_o true_a holiness_n and_o then_o work_v according_a to_o it_o act_v from_o and_o by_o himself_o according_a to_o the_o law_n of_o his_o creation_n i_o doubt_v not_o indeed_o that_o man_n be_v make_v with_o the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n the_o mediator_n of_o amity_n and_o conciliation_n and_o sustentation_n in_o the_o state_n wherein_o he_o be_v make_v see_v all_o thing_n be_v make_v by_o and_o for_o our_o mediator_n and_o that_o adam_n himself_o be_v the_o

to_o the_o mediator_n be_v whole_o upon_o his_o own_o bottom_n of_o creation_n and_o the_o self_n subsistence_n he_o choose_v out_o of_o a_o mediator_n whatever_o therefore_o god_n do_v in_o grace_n through_o a_o mediator_n to_o man_n fall_v be_v miracle_n of_o grace_n and_o though_o it_o may_v seem_v in_o all_o spiritual_a concernment_n the_o concernment_n of_o the_o inward_a man_n there_o be_v not_o miracle_n because_o they_o do_v not_o at_o the_o present_a come_v into_o sense_n yet_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o present_a state_n they_o be_v of_o as_o real_a inward_a deep_a sense_n and_o
