according_a as_o the_o word_n describe_v and_o present_v it_o to_o he_o and_o sure_o this_o make_v people_n so_o unprepared_a to_o die_v because_o they_o want_v a_o understanding_n of_o thing_n it_o

itself_o now_o the_o might_n and_o strength_n of_o his_o faith_n be_v see_v both_o because_o by_o it_o he_o see_v the_o substance_n of_o the_o truth_n with_o so_o much_o evidence_n and_o clearness_n and_o certainty_n as_o he_o do_v he_o do_v as_o plain_o see_v that_o christ_n have_v the_o command_n of_o disease_n as_o that_o he_o himself_o have_v the_o command_n of_o his_o soldier_n and_o

upon_o this_o that_o christ_n testify_v the_o truth_n of_o this_o in_o commend_v the_o centurion_n for_o the_o greatness_n of_o his_o faith_n in_o believe_v this_o truth_n and_o improve_n it_o as_o he_o do_v to_o prevent_v the_o misunderstanding_n of_o this_o doctrine_n i_o shall_v premise_v these_o three_o caution_n 1._o that_o i_o do_v not_o hereby_o deny_v the_o power_n and_o influence_n that_o inferior_a cause_n may_v have_v in_o bring_v disease_n upon_o we_o for_o i_o know_v that_o many_o sickness_n come_v from_o god_n through_o the_o hand_n of_o angel_n and_o devil_n and_o that_o other_o man_n and_o also_o ourselves_o and_o that_o unwholesome_a diet_n the_o season_n of_o the_o year_n and_o divers_a other_o thing_n may_v be_v the_o instrument_n and_o mean_n of_o disease_n unto_o we_o but_o yet_o god_n be_v the_o first_o and_o chief_a cause_n of_o all_o disease_n for_o it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o power_n of_o any_o creature_n to_o suspend_v or_o withhold_v that_o divine_a power_n and_o influence_n which_o cause_v our_o health_n but_o this_o be_v continue_v or_o deny_v unto_o we_o according_a to_o the_o will_n and_o pleasure_n of_o god_n and_o no_o creature_n can_v cause_v our_o trouble_n without_o god_n for_o without_o he_o a_o creature_n can_v neither_o be_v nor_o work_n but_o fall_v to_o nothing_o and_o so_o can_v do_v good_a or_o evil_n 2._o i_o do_v not_o exclude_v the_o art_n of_o physician_n nor_o deny_v the_o virtue_n that_o be_v in_o any_o medicine_n for_o the_o heal_n of_o disease_n know_v that_o the_o same_o god_n who_o have_v ordain_v food_n for_o our_o health_n have_v also_o ordain_v physic_n for_o we_o in_o our_o sickness_n but_o still_o the_o first_o and_o chief_a of_o all_o be_v jesus_n christ_n 3._o i_o do_v not_o exclude_v the_o power_n of_o god_n the_o father_n or_o of_o god_n the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o because_o i_o find_v that_o by_o disease_n god_n do_v execute_v great_a judgement_n in_o the_o world_n and_o that_o he_o be_v please_v to_o make_v great_a use_n of_o these_o in_o his_o government_n both_o of_o his_o church_n and_o of_o his_o enemy_n and_o that_o the_o father_n have_v commit_v all_o judgement_n to_o the_o son_n joh._n 5.22_o and_o because_o this_o command_n and_o government_n be_v ascribe_v to_o christ_n in_o the_o text_n therefore_o i_o shall_v frequent_o mention_v the_o name_n and_o authority_n of_o jesus_n christ_n god_n redeemer_n in_o this_o case_n now_o in_o the_o handle_n of_o the_o doctrine_n i_o shall_v follow_v this_o familiar_a method_n 1._o i_o shall_v explain_v the_o term_n 2._o
