of_o such_o force_n and_o might_n that_o it_o put_v away_o death_n and_o restore_v life_n but_o for_o asmuch_o as_o we_o know_v that_o christ_n can_v so_o soon_o rydde_v we_o from_o death_n and_o

to_o be_v have_v in_o memory_n the_o first_o be_v the_o miracle_n that_o christ_n show_v to_o the_o child_n that_o be_v in_o peril_n whereas_o he_o heal_v he_o and_o yet_o come_v not_o at_o he_o only_o he_o say_v to_o the_o father_n go_v thy_o way_n thy_o son_n lyve_v and_o forthwith_o by_o this_o word_n the_o child_n be_v recover_v which_o be_v many_o a_o mile_n from_o thence_o and_o know_v nothing_o of_o this_o word_n this_o be_v a_o great_a miracle_n which_o declare_v unto_o we_o how_o mighty_a the_o word_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v word_n and_o that_o whatsoever_o it_o set_v upon_o it_o bring_v it_o to_o pass_v although_o the_o devil_n be_v never_o so_o much_o against_o it_o for_o this_o disease_n be_v no_o otherwise_o to_o be_v esteem_v of_o we_o than_o the_o other_o work_n wherewith_o the_o devil_n vex_v we_o most_o miserable_a man_n to_o the_o destroy_n of_o this_o work_n of_o the_o devil_n be_v nothing_o else_o requisite_a but_o the_o word_n of_o

here_o wherefore_o this_o miracle_n pertain_v special_o to_o this_o end_n that_o we_o may_v well_o know_v christ_n which_o be_v not_o only_o a_o man_n as_o other_o be_v that_o live_v a_o bodilye_o life_n but_o he_o be_v also_o almighty_a god_n for_o as_o much_o as_o he_o be_v the_o lord_n over_o death_n and_o the_o devil_n yea_o such_o a_o lord_n which_o with_o a_o word_n can_v help_v against_o all_o evil_a therefore_o we_o also_o in_o our_o peril_n and_o necessity_n must_v seek_v help_n at_o he_o as_o this_o prince_n do_v and_o special_o we_o ought_v to_o make_v much_o
of_o his_o word_n as_o we_o will_v of_o a_o power_n that_o be_v almighty_a for_o he_o that_o have_v that_o have_v all_o and_o can_v do_v all_o thing_n and_o he_o that_o have_v it_o not_o can_v do_v nothing_o against_o sin_n death_n and_o the_o devil_n for_o look_v what_o christ_n do_v here_o with_o the_o son_n of_o the_o ruler_n 1._o where_o as_o he_o defend_v he_o by_o his_o word_n against_o death_n &_o that_o life_n shall_v not_o be_v oppress_v of_o death_n the_o very_a same_o do_v he_o make_v to_o work_v in_o we_o all_o by_o his_o word_n if_o we_o do_v but_o receive_v it_o and_o

our_o peril_n &_o evilles_n we_o may_v here_o require_v health_n whereas_o the_o almighty_a word_n have_v so_o ready_a and_o present_a power_n and_o will_v to_o help_v us._n for_o where_o as_o this_o ruler_n make_v haste_n &_o hate_v all_o delay_n christ_n make_v much_o more_o haste_n and_o differ_v not_o the_o help_v unto_o the_o come_n of_o the_o father_n but_o rather_o in_o this_o very_a hour_n and_o moment_n he_o will_v have_v the_o sycke_n child_n make_v whole_a so_o we_o also_o must_v not_o doubt_n but_o that_o christ_n will_v be_v most_o ready_a to_o help_v we_o if_o we_o do_v but_o ask_v it_o of_o he_o and_o trust_v sure_o for_o it_o of_o he_o world_n for_o to_o this_o intent_n be_v he_o send_v and_o come_v into_o the_o earth_n to_o deliver_v we_o from_o sin_n &_o death_n to_o

cause_n he_o come_v into_o the_o earth_n wherefore_o he_o that_o ask_v help_v of_o he_o shall_v not_o depart_v without_o help_n as_o we_o see_v in_o this_o ruler_n which_o only_o intreat_v for_o

refuge_n unto_o he_o in_o all_o trouble_n and_o peril_n the_o second_o whereof_o we_o must_v teach_v in_o this_o history_n be_v that_o a_o notable_a example_n be_v set_v forth_o unto_o we_o in_o the_o which_o we_o may_v know_v certain_o &_o true_o what_o be_v faith_n our_o adversary_n the_o papist_n teach_v none_o otherwise_o as_o touch_v faith_n then_o that_o it_o be_v a_o certain_a knowledge_n concern_v christ_n and_o what_o he_o have_v do_v but_o in_o this_o the_o true_a christian_n have_v no_o more_o than_o the_o devil_n &_o hypocrite_n have_v for_o these_o also_o know_v of_o christ_n &_o of_o his_o miracle_n &_o act_n but_o as_o concern_v christian_a faith_n the_o scripture_n speak_v on_o this_o wise_a that_o by_o it_o we_o obtain_v remission_n of_o sin_n righteousness_n faith_n &_o

where_o the_o promise_n be_v &_o we_o embrace_v it_o with_o faith_n that_o be_v a_o true_a &_o christian_a faith_n as_o we_o see_v in_o this_o ruler_n he_o come_v to_o christ_n and_o desire_v he_o
