nay_o to_o invocate_v they_o more_o than_o god_n for_o god_n be_v not_o so_o often_o pray_v to_o as_o the_o virgin_n mary_n but_o that_o these_o bless_a creature_n themselves_o as_o well_o as_o their_o delude_a worshipper_n have_v be_v abuse_v intolerable_o by_o the_o forger_n of_o miracle_n i_o shall_v instance_n but_o in_o one_o doctrine_n more_o i_o may_v do_v it_o in_o many_o for_o there_o be_v hardly_o any_o one_o of_o their_o upstart_n doctrine_n which_o have_v not_o be_v teach_v or_o promote_v this_o way_n but_o this_o be_v the_o transcendent_a foppery_n of_o all_o the_o doctrine_n of_o transubstantiation_n a_o miracle_n itself_o they_o call_v it_o in_o their_o manual_a which_o teach_v they_o to_o say_v thus_o at_o the_o elevation_n oh_o miracle_n oh_o the_o goodness_n etc._n etc._n this_o be_v do_v by_o no_o juggle_n but_o in_o the_o open_a sight_n of_o all_o the_o looker_n on_o and_o what_o do_v the_o looker_n on_z discern_v do_v they_o see_v any_o visible_a change_n of_o the_o element_n no_o not_o the_o least_o shadow_n of_o alteration_n but_o what_o be_v it_o that_o they_o believe_v a_o miracle_n nay_o more_o than_o a_o miracle_n flat_a impossibility_n and_o contradiction_n a_o subject_a to_o be_v without_o accident_n and_o accident_n without_o any_o subject_n they_o believe_v the_o same_o body_n to_o be_v at_o the_o same_o time_n in_o so_o many_o several_a place_n and_o whole_a in_o every_o place_n in_o heaven_n upon_o earth_n both_o here_o and_o at_o rome_n and_o in_o both_o the_o indies_n oh_o monstrous_a belief_n have_v not_o this_o need_n to_o be_v support_v with_o miracle_n it_o be_v propagate_v by_o they_o and_o bellarmine_n 8._o prove_v it_o by_o they_o because_o some_o have_v see_v the_o host_n to_o bleed_v other_o have_v see_v a_o child_n in_o the_o place_n of_o it_o and_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o st._n anthony_n of_o padua_n horse_n forsake_v his_o oat_n to_o go_v and_o worship_v it_o i_o be_o sensible_a that_o these_o thing_n be_v very_o ridiculous_a and_o therefore_o i_o be_o ashamed_a to_o mention_v any_o more_o of_o they_o and_o yet_o i_o hope_v you_o will_v excuse_v we_o if_o we_o mention_v in_o our_o sermon_n such_o thing_n as_o have_v be_v the_o chief_a argument_n of_o they_o and_o such_o argument_n as_o their_o great_a master_n of_o controversy_n despair_v not_o that_o some_o may_v possible_o be_v fool_n enough_o to_o believe_v they_o but_o if_o i_o shall_v proceed_v into_o their_o legend_n and_o life_n if_o i_o shall_v spread_v before_o you_o the_o filth_n of_o those_o lewd_a romance_n i_o shall_v seem_v to_o have_v too_o little_a regard_n to_o this_o place_n and_o to_o this_o presence_n they_o be_v stuff_v with_o such_o absurd_a tale_n such_o idle_a and_o extravagant_a prodigy_n as_o if_o the_o devil_n have_v invent_v they_o in_o a_o wanton_a humour_n be_v not_o content_a to_o have_v affront_v the_o true_a miracle_n of_o god_n and_o to_o have_v have_v

thing_n without_o some_o wonder_n at_o those_o man_n who_o know_v that_o these_o thing_n be_v write_v in_o their_o own_o book_n and_o that_o some_o of_o we_o be_v able_a to_o read_v they_o can_v yet_o be_v so_o impudent_a as_o to_o revile_v and_o scoff_n at_o the_o reformation_n that_o happy_a recovery_n of_o christian_a religion_n without_o which_o their_o old_a tale_n will_v have_v be_v gospel_n

of_o they_o say_v that_o they_o themselves_o be_v the_o better_a for_o it_o which_o yet_o may_v be_v a_o very_a great_a question_n for_o though_o the_o craftsman_n among_o they_o be_v grow_v more_o

never_o wipe_v off_o the_o shame_n of_o their_o old_a do_n while_o they_o read_v lesson_n in_o their_o church_n collect_v out_o of_o those_o legend_n and_o while_o they_o retain_v those_o doctrine_n nay_o they_o make_v they_o part_v of_o their_o creed_n that_o owe_v some_o their_o be_v and_o all_o their_o reputation_n to_o those_o gross_a and_o palpable_a imposture_n for_o we_o we_o have_v great_a cause_n to_o bless_v god_n for_o the_o reformation_n which_o like_o christianity_n when_o it_o first_o appear_v in_o the_o world_n have_v chase_v away_o these_o demon_n and_o their_o oracle_n from_o among_o we_o i_o do_v not_o hear_v they_o work_v any_o miracle_n among_o we_o of_o late_a day_n unless_o this_o be_v a_o miracle_n which_o i_o think_v be_v no_o wonder_n that_o some_o person_n for_o some_o cause_n be_v win_v over_o to_o so_o corrupt_a a_o religion_n for_o our_o part_n we_o pretend_v to_o no_o new_a miracle_n nor_o have_v any_o occasion_n while_o we_o content_v ourselves_o with_o the_o old_a doctrine_n while_o we_o hold_v to_o the_o prophet_n that_o god_n have_v send_v we_o we_o may_v rest_v in_o those_o miracle_n that_o he_o wrought_v for_o we_o god_n grant_v we_o may_v be_v wrought_v by_o they_o into_o a_o due_a faith_n and_o obedience_n first_o we_o owe_v a_o duty_n of_o faith_n to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o our_o prophet_n to_o all_o that_o have_v be_v teach_v by_o he_o and_o his_o apostle_n and_o be_v leave_v write_v for_o we_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n in_o which_o scripture_n though_o there_o be_v many_o thing_n hard_a to_o be_v understand_v which_o

of_o the_o primitive_a christian_n whosoever_o add_v to_o it_o or_o vary_v from_o it_o especial_o if_o he_o pretend_v to_o miracle_n of_o which_o the_o scripture_n have_v forewarn_v we_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o defy_v both_o he_o and_o his_o doctrine_n if_o we_o hold_v ourselves_o close_o to_o this_o faith_n and_o if_o this_o shall_v happen_v to_o deceive_v we_o what_o have_v we_o to_o say_v but_o with_o st._n victor_n oh_o lord_n it_o be_v thou_o that_o have_v deceive_v we_o thou_o have_v give_v such_o plain_a demonstration_n such_o visible_a testimony_n of_o thy_o almighty_a hand_n to_o

that_o prophet_n that_o be_v send_v from_o god_n last_o we_o owe_v the_o duty_n of_o obedience_n to_o his_o precept_n to_o those_o rule_n of_o life_n which_o he_o have_v give_v we_o in_o the_o name_n
