do_v agree_v the_o doctor_n of_o the_o jew_n themselves_o in_o many_o place_n of_o their_o thalmud_n colin_n to_o wit_n that_o the_o messiah_n shall_v be_v most_o wonderful_a in_o work_v miracle_n and_o in_o their_o public_a commentary_n upon_o ecclesiastes_n they_o have_v these_o word_n 1._o all_o the_o former_a miracle_n of_o prophet_n or_o saint_n shall_v be_v nothing_o to_o the_o miracle_n of_o the_o messiah_n when_o he_o come_v and_o thus_o much_o of_o the_o foretell_v of_o christ_n miracle_n but_o now_o for_o the_o fulfil_n thereof_o in_o jesus_n that_o be_v how_o these_o prediction_n

which_o be_v sufficient_a in_o this_o case_n the_o jew_n themselves_o do_v grant_v and_o record_n jesus_n miracle_n in_o diverse_a place_n of_o treatise_n of_o their_o thalmud_n 11.13_o yea_o they_o
