very_o strange_a and_o admirable_a yet_o because_o it_o be_v usual_a and_o common_a it_o can_v be_v call_v a_o miracle_n so_o we_o may_v see_v the_o nature_n and_o power_n of_o some_o water_n to_o turn_v that_o which_o in_o nature_n be_v gold_n into_o stone_n that_o be_v know_v to_o be_v true_a by_o experience_n yet_o no_o man_n can_v show_v any_o reason_n why_o that_o water_n shall_v rather_o do_v it_o than_o any_o other_o although_o this_o be_v strange_a &_o wonderful_a yet_o because_o it_o be_v usual_a and_o ordinary_a yet_o in_o those_o water_n it_o be_v no_o miracle_n for_o every_o miracle_n be_v a_o rare_a work_n that_o come_v to_o pass_v not_o ordinary_o but_o very_o seldom_o this_o work_n be_v call_v rare_a either_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o thing_n wrought_v or_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o manner_n of_o work_v it_o first_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o thing_n wrought_v as_o when_o the_o lord_n send_v down_o manna_n from_o heaven_n to_o feed_v such_o a_o great_a number_n of_o people_n as_o the_o israelite_n be_v this_o be_v very_o rare_a in_o regard_n of_o the_o thing_n wrought_v so_o when_o the_o lord_n make_v the_o sun_n to_o stay_v in_o the_o element_n so_o likewise_o as_o we_o may_v read_v when_o the_o lord_n make_v the_o shadow_n of_o the_o dial_n to_o go_v back_o second_o a_o miracle_n be_v rare_a in_o regard_n of_o the_o manner_n of_o work_v it_o as_o when_o the_o water_n be_v turn_v into_o blood_n it_o be_v not_o a_o rare_a thing_n to_o see_v blond_n but_o the_o manner_n of_o work_v it_o as_o namely_o with_o a_o rod_n be_v most_o rare_a and_o be_v never_o see_v before_o so_o we_o do_v see_v that_o christ_n manner_n of_o heal_v the_o blind_a man_n be_v very_o rare_a therefore_o a_o miracle_n if_o it_o be_v a_o miracle_n indeed_o first_o it_o must_v be_v a_o true_a work_n second_o a_o rare_a work_n either_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o thing_n itself_o or_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o manner_n of_o do_v it_o apparent_o wrought_v etc._n etc._n three_o a_o miracle_n must_v have_v this_o annex_v unto_o it_o for_o it_o must_v not_o be_v obscure_a but_o apparent_a i_o mean_v not_o to_o the_o reason_n and_o judgement_n of_o man_n but_o to_o man_n sense_n that_o be_v to_o some_o of_o his_o sense_n or_o to_o all_o of_o they_o without_o controversy_n or_o doubt_v this_o we_o shall_v see_v in_o all_o true_a miracle_n wrought_v by_o god_n to_o be_v of_o this_o nature_n namely_o clear_a and_o evident_a to_o man_n sense_n for_o either_o man_n do_v feel_v they_o as_o the_o darkness_n in_o egypt_n or_o else_o they_o may_v touch_v they_o taste_v they_o or_o smell_v they_o when_o the_o lord_n bring_v his_o people_n of_o israel_n from_o egypt_n all_o the_o miracle_n which_o he_o by_o his_o power_n have_v wrought_v among_o they_o be_v most_o apparent_a unto_o man_n sense_n as_o namely_o when_o they_o go_v through_o the_o red_a sea_n there_o he_o make_v the_o water_n to_o divide_v themselves_o and_o to_o stand_v like_o mighty_a mountain_n on_o each_o side_n of_o they_o in_o such_o sort_n that_o they_o do_v most_o mavifest_o see_v and_o behold_v the_o same_o so_o likewise_o they_o see_v when_o moses_n strike_v the_o stony_a rock_n so_o that_o thereout_o gush_v water_n so_o they_o see_v most_o evident_o the_o wall_n of_o jericho_n fall_v down_o and_o therefore_o if_o there_o be_v any_o miracle_n which_o be_v not_o apparent_a of_o itself_o it_o be_v no_o miracle_n likewise_o what_o work_v so_o ever_o be_v do_v by_o satan_n or_o any_o of_o his_o angel_n if_o it_o be_v not_o evident_a and_o to_o be_v discern_v by_o man_n sense_n hence_o we_o know_v that_o it_o be_v no_o miracle_n let_v we_o by_o this_o property_n of_o a-true_a miracle_n examine_v the_o miracle_n of_o the_o altar_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n for_o in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o altar_n after_o the_o priest_n have_v say_v a_o few_o word_n as_o these_o hoc_fw-la est_fw-la corpus_fw-la meum_fw-la they_o teach_v that_o there_o a_o strange_a work_n be_v bring_v to_o pass_v for_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o bread_n which_o be_v on_o the_o altar_n be_v go_v and_o be_v change_v into_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n if_o it_o be_v so_o then_o indeed_o it_o be_v a_o miracle_n but_o if_o it_o be_v a_o miracle_n than_o man_n may_v discern_v it_o by_o one_o sense_n or_o other_o for_o let_v they_o show_v i_o a_o instance_n where_o the_o lord_n wrought_v any_o miracle_n which_o he_o do_v not_o subject_a to_o the_o sense_n of_o man_n but_o in_o this_o there_o be_v no_o miracle_n which_o may_v be_v discern_v by_o the_o sense_n for_o the_o bread_n in_o the_o judgement_n of_o all_o the_o sense_n seem_v the_o same_o that_o it_o be_v before_o to_o y_z e_z sight_n it_o seem_v to_o be_v the_o very_a same_o in_o substance_n of_o the_o same_o quality_n and_o colour_n that_o it_o be_v of_o before_o it_o have_v the_o same_o taste_v it_o have_v before_o to_o the_o handle_n it_o appear_v the_o same_o that_o it_o be_v before_o and_o have_v the_o same_o smell_v that_o it_o have_v before_o there_o be_v not_o any_o sense_n that_o judge_v now_o otherwise_o of_o it_o than_o it_o do_v before_o &_o therefore_o it_o can_v be_v no_o true_a miracle_n indeed_o if_o before_o i_o see_v it_o to_o be_v bread_n taste_v smell_a and_o touch_v it_o do_v judge_v it_o to_o be_v bread_n shall_v now_o see_v smell_a taste_v and_o feel_v it_o perceive_v it_o to_o be_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n it_o be_v a_o true_a miracle_n but_o see_v to_o all_o the_o sense_n it_o appear_v one_o &_o the_o same_o that_o it_o be_v before_o it_o can_v be_v a_o miracle_n but_o they_o say_v the_o outward_a form_n &_o external_a accident_n of_o y_fw-fr e_o bread_n yet_o remain_v but_o the_o substance_n of_o it_o be_v turn_v into_o y_fw-es ●_o body_n of_o christ_n which_o though_o we_o can_v perceive_v by_o our_o sense_n yet_o we_o be_v to_o believe_v by_o faith_n but_o how_o do_v christ_n himself_o deal_v with_o thomas_n when_o he_o doubt_v of_o his_o resurrection_n he_o say_v thrust_v thy_o finger_n into_o my_o side_n and_o feel_v whether_o i_o have_v not_o flesh_n &_o bone_n for_o a_o spirit_n have_v not_o as_o thou_o feel_v i_o to_o have_v he_o take_v away_o his_o doubt_n by_o the_o sense_n of_o feel_v and_o if_o this_o true_a natural_a body_n of_o christ_n be_v there_o in_o the_o bread_n then_o may_v we_o feel_v it_o as_o thomas_n do_v for_o christ_n still_o retain_v that_o his_o true_a and_o natural_a body_n although_o he_o be_v now_o glorify_v insomuch_a therefore_o that_o in_o the_o bread_n there_o be_v no_o miracle_n apparent_a to_o the_o sense_n there_o be_v no_o miracle_n at_o all_o but_o this_o be_v the_o difference_n in_o god_n church_n that_o before_o it_o be_v common_a bread_n ordain_v and_o sanctify_v by_o the_o lord_n for_o the_o nourishment_n of_o our_o body_n but_o now_o it_o be_v the_o holy_a bread_n appoint_v and_o set_v apart_o and_o sanctify_v by_o the_o lord_n not_o so_o much_o for_o the_o nourishment_n of_o our_o body_n but_o especial_o for_o the_o confirmation_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o the_o food_n of_o our_o soul_n the_o same_o also_o be_v to_o be_v say_v of_o the_o wine_n four_o i_o add_v wrought_v by_o the_o sole_a omnipotent_a power_n of_o god_n wherein_o i_o note_v the_o worker_n of_o miracle_n the_o lord_n himself_o work_v miracle_n but_o peculiarlie_o and_o proper_o by_o his_o power_n and_o not_o by_o his_o wisdom_n though_o both_o be_v infinite_a and_o that_o a_o miracle_n be_v wrought_v by_o the_o power_n of_o god_n i_o prove_v by_o these_o reason_n first_o a_o miracle_n be_v a_o work_n of_o great_a power_n far_o pass_v the_o power_n of_o all_o creature_n therefore_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v wrought_v by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o creator_n second_o it_o be_v apparent_a by_o diverse_a place_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n as_o joel._n 2._o 21._o 30._o there_o the_o holy_a ghost_n ascribe_v the_o work_n of_o miracle_n to_o the_o lord_n himself_o i_o will_v show_v wonder_n in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n say_v the_o lord_n fear_v not_o o_o land_n for_o i_o will_v do_v great_a thing_n three_o the_o holy_a ghost_n use_v this_o as_o a_o argument_n to_o prove_v that_o jehovah_n be_v the_o lord_n and_o be_v only_o to_o be_v serve_v levit._n 26._o deut._n 28._o albeit_o the_o magician_n of_o egypt_n can_v work_v many_o admirable_a wonder_n by_o their_o own_o art_n and_o by_o the_o instruction_n of_o the_o devil_n yet_o they_o confess_v that_o the_o work_n of_o moses_n be_v not_o do_v by_o moses_n power_n nor_o by_o any_o actor_n skill_n that_o be_v in_o moses_n nor_o yet_o by_o natural_a cause_n but_o by_o the_o finger_n
of_o god_n which_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o his_o power_n by_o this_o argument_n do_v christ_n prove_v that_o his_o miracle_n be_v not_o do_v by_o the_o power_n of_o belzebub_n if_o i_o by_o the_o finger_n of_o god_n cast_v out_o devil_n by_o who_o do_v your_o child_n cast_v they_o out_o last_o this_o may_v also_o appear_v by_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o mean_n which_o the_o lord_n use_v in_o work_v of_o miracle_n as_o the_o shadow_n of_o peter_n to_o cure_v disease_n can_v any_o man_n shadow_n cure_v another_o no_o but_o the_o lord_n will_v have_v that_o this_o mean_n shall_v show_v that_o the_o thing_n be_v wrought_v by_o his_o power_n so_o the_o handkerchief_n of_o paul_n do_v cure_v disease_n not_o that_o there_o be_v any_o such_o virtue_n in_o it_o but_o that_o it_o come_v from_o the_o lord_n so_o also_o do_v the_o hem_n of_o christ_n garment_n be_v there_o any_o power_n in_o the_o hem_n of_o a_o man_n garment_n to_o cure_v disease_n sure_o no_o but_o the_o lord_n use_v that_o mean_n to_o teach_v we_o thereby_o that_o his_o power_n only_o do_v work_v it_o here_o than_o we_o must_v acknowledge_v that_o miracle_n be_v wrought_v only_o by_o the_o lord_n and_o serve_v great_o to_o the_o advance_v of_o his_o glory_n last_o we_o must_v consider_v that_o a_o miracle_n be_v contrary_a to_o the_o instinct_n of_o nature_n nature_n have_v never_o any_o such_o inclination_n as_o to_o bring_v to_o pass_v any_o miracle_n as_o when_o the_o water_n stand_v on_o two_o part_n nature_n have_v a_o desire_n to_o make_v the_o water_n run_v when_o as_o then_o the_o water_n stand_v it_o be_v contrary_a to_o nature_n the_o use_n the_o use_n that_o we_o must_v make_v hereof_o be_v to_o give_v to_o god_n that_o which_o be_v his_o own_o that_o we_o shall_v acknowledge_v he_o to_o be_v the_o sole_a author_n and_o worker_n of_o miracle_n that_o either_o have_v be_v or_o shall_v be_v in_o the_o world_n if_o thou_o give_v they_o to_o satan_n than_o do_v thou_o constitute_v he_o instéed_n of_o the_o lord_n himself_o be_v thou_o the_o lord_n then_o know_v that_o neither_o satan_n nor_o any_o creature_n be_v able_a to_o work_v any_o miracle_n against_o thou_o if_o thou_o be_v he_o rather_o than_o his_o name_n shall_v be_v dishonour_v by_o thou_o he_o will_v work_v miraculous_o for_o thy_o good_a and_o preservation_n further_o this_o serve_v to_o ratify_v our_o faith_n in_o the_o power_n of_o god_n the_o devil_n be_v his_o servant_n whether_o he_o will_v or_o not_o he_o can_v do_v nothing_o but_o that_o which_o the_o lord_n will_v and_o hereby_o we_o hold_v that_o our_o body_n shall_v be_v raise_v again_o at_o the_o last_o day_n for_o god_n be_v able_a to_o work_v all_o miracle_n although_o there_o be_v neither_o bone_n skin_n nor_o flesh_n leave_v yet_o he_o be_v able_a to_o join_v flesh_n to_o flesh_n sinew_n to_o sinew_n and_o raise_v we_o up_o again_o with_o the_o same_o body_n we_o have_v before_o the_o second_o part_n of_o this_o sermon_n now_o remain_v something_o to_o be_v speak_v more_o plain_o and_o particular_o of_o miracle_n for_o as_o in_o all_o other_o thing_n so_o also_o in_o miracle_n the_o lord_n use_v diverse_a and_o sundry_a way_n of_o work_v for_o either_o himself_o alone_o and_o of_o himself_o alone_o or_o else_o he_o use_v some_o creature_n in_o the_o work_n of_o the_o same_o as_o in_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n he_o use_v not_o any_o thing_n out_o of_o himself_o but_o in_o himself_o by_o himself_o and_o of_o himself_o alone_o he_o create_v all_o thing_n of_o nothing_o so_o likewise_o in_o the_o work_n of_o some_o miracle_n it_o please_v he_o not_o to_o admit_v the_o use_n of_o any_o creature_n whatsoever_o as_o when_o he_o stay_v the_o sun_n in_o the_o firmament_n he_o do_v it_o of_o himself_o without_o the_o help_n of_o any_o other_o so_o also_o he_o turn_v back_o the_o shadow_n of_o the_o dial_n of_o azah_n by_o himself_o alone_o without_o the_o use_n of_o any_o other_o but_o nevertheless_o in_o work_v some_o miracle_n he_o use_v mean_n but_o especial_o man_n for_o the_o mean_n thereof_o as_o in_o all_o the_o miracle_n wrought_v in_o egypt_n the_o lord_n do_v work_v they_o indeed_o but_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o moses_n and_o aaron_n he_o divide_v the_o red_a sea_n so_o that_o israel_n pass_v through_o on_o dry_a foot_n but_o it_o be_v do_v by_o moses_n so_o also_o he_o wrought_v many_o miracle_n in_o the_o wilderness_n before_o the_o isralite_n but_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o moses_n and_o aaron_n so_o some_o miracle_n be_v do_v by_o judge_n some_o by_o elizaeus_n and_o other_o of_o the_o prophet_n so_o also_o god_n wrought_v miracle_n afterward_o not_o only_o by_o his_o son_n but_o also_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o apostle_n so_o that_o it_o be_v a_o true_a point_n of_o religion_n to_o hold_v that_o the_o lord_n in_o work_v of_o miracle_n do_v oftentimes_o use_v the_o mean_n of_o man_n therein_o in_o this_o doctrine_n we_o be_v to_o take_v heed_n of_o these_o two_o dangerous_a point_n first_o that_o we_o derogate_v nothing_o from_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n although_o he_o use_v mean_n in_o the_o work_n of_o many_o miracle_n second_o that_o we_o do_v not_o magnify_v the_o creature_n which_o the_o lord_n use_v above_o that_o which_o be_v convenient_a into_o which_o many_o have_v fall_v heretofore_o for_o the_o avoid_n therefore_o of_o they_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o hold_v these_o two_o point_n of_o religion_n first_o to_o believe_v and_o know_v that_o the_o omnipotent_a power_n of_o god_n can_v be_v communicate_v to_o any_o creature_n for_o the_o lord_n say_v as_o of_o his_o wisdom_n justice_n and_o mercy_n so_o also_o of_o his_o power_n i_o will_v not_o give_v my_o glory_n to_o another_o we_o be_v therefore_o to_o hold_v that_o the_o power_n of_o god_n can_v beseem_v any_o creature_n whatsoever_o no_o though_o it_o be_v a_o angel_n of_o heaven_n second_o that_o we_o must_v know_v remember_v and_o constant_o believe_v that_o albeit_o the_o power_n of_o god_n can_v be_v communicate_v to_o any_o creature_n either_o in_o heaven_n or_o in_o earth_n yet_o that_o there_o be_v no_o creature_n capable_a thereof_o no_o creature_n be_v able_a to_o bear_v it_o this_o be_v evident_a in_o the_o example_n of_o peter_n before_o who_o when_o christ_n have_v wrought_v a_o miracle_n and_o he_o have_v see_v some_o small_a sight_n of_o his_o glory_n he_o say_v depart_v from_o i_o lord_n for_o i_o be_o a_o sinful_a man_n if_o peter_n can_v not_o abide_v the_o glimmer_n of_o his_o glory_n and_o if_o it_o bring_v his_o sin_n to_o memory_n insomuch_o that_o he_o think_v himself_o unworthy_a of_o his_o presence_n how_o much_o more_o unable_a have_v he_o be_v to_o bear_v the_o weight_n thereof_o but_o may_n some_o say_v if_o this_o be_v so_o why_o then_o do_v the_o lord_n use_v mean_n in_o work_v of_o miracle_n why_o do_v he_o use_v man_n prophet_n apostle_n yea_o and_o those_o also_o which_o have_v no_o justify_v faith_n and_o also_o other_o creature_n i_o answer_v the_o lord_n use_v they_o not_o because_o he_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o they_o for_o he_o can_v work_v all_o thing_n of_o himself_o neither_o use_v he_o they_o that_o man_n shall_v ascribe_v less_o to_o he_o and_o more_o to_o the_o creature_n which_o he_o use_v but_o for_o to_o teach_v we_o these_o three_o thing_n first_o to_o teach_v we_o how_o his_o majesty_n do_v approve_v the_o mean_n whereby_o thing_n be_v bring_v to_o pass_v for_o if_o the_o lord_n use_v mean_n when_o as_o they_o be_v of_o less_o use_n much_o more_o will_v he_o approve_v when_o the_o mean_n be_v use_v which_o have_v some_o power_n to_o bring_v thing_n to_o pass_v this_o then_o be_v the_o first_o cause_n why_o the_o lord_n use_v mean_n to_o show_v that_o he_o will_v have_v we_o keep_v maintain_v and_o live_v in_o this_o world_n but_o so_o as_o by_o use_v such_o mean_n as_o his_o majesty_n shall_v appoint_v therefore_o no_o man_n ought_v to_o neglect_v and_o contemn_v the_o mean_n lest_o he_o oppose_v himself_o against_o the_o lord_n second_o the_o lord_n use_v creature_n in_o work_a miracle_n to_o support_v and_o uphold_v man_n weakness_n who_o be_v not_o able_a to_o look_v on_o his_o majesty_n when_o he_o work_v himself_o this_o be_v plain_a in_o the_o example_n of_o the_o israelite_n exod._n 19_o when_o they_o come_v to_o mount_n sinai_n to_o hear_v the_o lord_n there_o be_v such_o thunder_n and_o lightning_n and_o the_o sound_n of_o a_o trumpet_n exceed_a loud_a and_o the_o mount_n all_o of_o a_o smoke_n because_o the_o lord_n come_v down_o by_o fire_n they_o be_v so_o bereave_v of_o their_o sense_n and_o be_v so_o afraid_a that_o afterward_o they_o
