to_o all_o this_o which_o i_o be_o about_o to_o say_v that_o a_o poor_a young_a man_n of_o the_o mean_a birth_n and_o breed_n of_o a_o most_o hateful_a nation_n and_o hate_v himself_o by_o that_o nation_n for_o take_v upon_o he_o to_o be_v a_o prophet_n send_v they_o from_o god_n for_o which_o he_o be_v lay_v hold_n of_o and_o put_v to_o a_o bitter_a and_o most_o shameful_a death_n that_o after_o his_o death_n a_o few_o fisherman_n and_o other_o as_o mean_a as_o himself_o in_o all_o circumstance_n shall_v still_o proclaim_v that_o he_o be_v that_o prophet_n and_o confirm_v it_o with_o a_o story_n of_o his_o resurrection_n and_o with_o loud_a boast_n of_o miracle_n wrought_v by_o he_o and_o his_o follower_n all_o which_o be_v utter_o false_a promise_v all_o they_o that_o will_v believe_v in_o he_o nothing_o in_o this_o world_n but_o affliction_n and_o cruel_a death_n which_o their_o own_o suffering_n prove_v to_o be_v true_a that_o such_o man_n with_o no_o other_o charm_n shall_v work_v such_o a_o faith_n in_o all_o the_o wise_a part_n of_o mankind_n and_o that_o with_o so_o last_a a_o impression_n as_o time_n have_v not_o be_v able_a to_o deface_v no_o nor_o vice_n neither_o which_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o make_v they_o desire_n to_o deface_v it_o that_o so_o impregnable_a a_o faith_n shall_v be_v bottom_v on_o so_o foul_a a_o imposture_n pardon_v i_o great_a god_n that_o i_o lend_v breath_n to_o their_o blasphemy_n it_o be_v a_o thing_n so_o prodigious_o incredible_a that_o it_o can_v never_o enter_v into_o any_o man_n head_n unless_o he_o be_v for_o his_o lust_n sake_n as_o great_a a_o monster_n of_o credulity_n as_o i_o have_v show_v he_o in_o other_o respect_n to_o be_v a_o very_a monster_n of_o unbelief_n i_o fear_v this_o discourse_n may_v have_v be_v large_a than_o the_o occasion_n nay_o i_o hope_v it_o rather_o in_o this_o place_n and_o will_v to_o god_n that_o it_o be_v whole_o superfluous_a that_o there_o be_v no_o more_o unbeliever_n in_o this_o world_n than_o there_o will_v be_v in_o the_o other_o and_o then_o i_o be_o sure_a there_o will_v be_v few_o enough_o but_o i_o have_v now_o do_v with_o they_o and_o be_o to_o speak_v to_o yourselves_o to_o you_o that_o believe_v the_o holy_a scripture_n &_o desire_v to_o make_v a_o profitable_a use_n of_o '_o they_o and_o the_o use_v of_o this_o scripture_n be_v to_o observe_v what_o these_o man_n in_o my_o text_n do_v according_a to_o reason_n and_o allow_v for_o the_o difference_n of_o circumstance_n to_o do_v the_o same_o thing_n ourselves_o namely_o if_o we_o have_v any_o prophet_n yet_o to_o come_v and_o the_o promise_n of_o miracle_n to_o know_v he_o by_o than_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n when_o we_o see_v those_o miracle_n to_o acknowledge_v that_o prophet_n but_o if_o we_o have_v no_o such_o prophet_n to_o expect_v and_o no_o more_o miracle_n to_o look_v for_o than_o it_o behoove_v we_o to_o make_v much_o of_o those_o miracle_n and_o that_o prophet_n that_o we_o have_v already_o and_o to_o look_v for_o no_o other_o this_o appear_v to_o be_v the_o natural_a consequence_n of_o my_o text._n it_o have_v be_v prove_v that_o christ_n be_v that_o prophet_n of_o who_o god_n have_v foretell_v we_o from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n and_o this_o prophet_n have_v tell_v we_o 20._o behold_v i_o be_o with_o you_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n but_o have_v we_o any_o other_o to_o look_v for_o any_o other_o prophet_n to_o come_v any_o far_a miracle_n to_o know_v he_o by_o it_o shall_v seem_v that_o we_o have_v for_o christ_n say_v word_n to_o that_o purpose_n and_o he_o say_v it_o not_o light_o but_o he_o lay_v great_a weight_n upon_o it_o behold_v say_v he_o etc._n i_o tell_v you_o of_o this_o before_o there_o shall_v

of_o none_o but_o the_o papal_a rome_n that_o do_v pretend_v to_o they_o she_o make_v it_o one_o of_o her_o mark_n and_o vaunt_n that_o she_o be_v to_o be_v know_v by_o her_o miracle_n but_o what_o then_o do_v not_o christ_n promise_v miracle_n to_o his_o church_n and_o ought_v not_o his_o promise_n to_o be_v make_v good_a it_o be_v most_o true_a that_o he_o do_v promise_v and_o that_o he_o have_v perform_v we_o have_v sufficient_a proof_n of_o it_o both_o in_o scripture_n and_o in_o the_o record_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n for_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o our_o great_a prophet_n shall_v be_v make_v know_v to_o we_o as_o well_o in_o his_o doctrine_n as_o in_o his_o person_n that_o the_o christian_a faith_n shall_v be_v plant_v and_o settle_v by_o miracle_n but_o when_o this_o
