some_o further_a reason_n for_o our_o belief_n that_o it_o be_v a_o doctrine_n of_o devil_n not_o of_o god_n whereas_o the_o excellence_n of_o our_o saviour_n miracle_n consist_v in_o this_o that_o

with_o natural_a religion_n they_o be_v either_o juggle_v and_o imposture_n or_o at_o best_o they_o be_v but_o diabolical_a wonder_n or_o it_o be_v the_o power_n of_o god_n cooperate_n with_o the_o

whereas_o if_o the_o doctrine_n be_v consonant_a to_o reason_n and_o useful_a to_o mankind_n than_o these_o miracle_n be_v divine_a miracle_n than_o the_o doctrine_n and_o the_o miracle_n do_v
