have_v such_o power_n over_o the_o element_n as_o satan_n be_v represent_v to_o have_v have_v at_o that_o time_n and_o it_o be_v a_o convince_a argument_n to_o the_o disciple_n that_o our_o saviour_n

be_v not_o sufficient_a ground_n to_o rely_v upon_o that_o they_o be_v intend_v by_o god_n as_o a_o testimony_n to_o the_o truth_n but_o it_o be_v on_o the_o contrary_a just_o suspicious_a without_o 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 set_v aside_o his_o doctrine_n they_o themselves_o be_v so_o useful_a and_o beneficial_a to_o mankind_n he_o heal_v disease_n he_o cleanse_v leper_n and_o he_o cast_v out_o devil_n and_o he_o go_v

whole_a tendency_n of_o diabolical_a wonder_n when_o all_o his_o miracle_n be_v so_o full_a of_o love_n so_o full_a of_o charity_n and_o goodness_n to_o mankind_n but_o three_o the_o tendency_n of_o these_o miracle_n be_v to_o be_v consider_v we_o must_v examine_v careful_o those_o doctrine_n which_o they_o pretend_v to_o advance_v if_o they_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o right_a reason_n or_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 wicked_a insinuation_n of_o the_o devil_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o man_n to_o harden_v and_o to_o blind_v the_o world_n but_o it_o be_v impossible_a the_o elect_n shall_v be_v deceive_v they_o who_o be_v true_o pious_a and_o sincere_a god_n will_v not_o suffer_v they_o to_o be_v so_o fatal_o impose_v upon_o and_o man_n of_o rational_a and_o sober_a mind_n will_v easy_o conclude_v that_o these_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 mutual_o confirm_v and_o strengthen_v one_o another_o because_o by_o our_o saviour_n invincible_a argument_n it_o will_v be_v a_o absurd_a thing_n for_o the_o devil_n to_o cast_v out_o himself_o
