mistake_v in_o those_o miracle_n and_o give_v credit_n to_o his_o law_n observe_v every_o punctilio_fw-la of_o it_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o those_o miracle_n if_o they_o have_v not_o be_v confident_a of_o the_o truth_n and_o reality_n of_o they_o be_v altogether_o unaccountable_a to_o a_o rational_a man_n these_o miracle_n he_o can_v never_o have_v wrought_v without_o a_o supernatural_a power_n nor_o can_v i_o imagine_v any_o other_o reason_n why_o god_n shall_v honour_v he_o with_o that_o supernatural_a power_n but_o only_o to_o confirm_v the_o law_n and_o statute_n he_o give_v to_o the_o jew_n and_o to_o testify_v unto_o they_o and_o to_o assure_v they_o that_o they_o come_v from_o god_n and_o that_o the_o punishment_n threaten_v will_v certain_o attend_v the_o wilful_a neglecter_n of_o that_o law_n that_o the_o prophet_n foretell_v thing_n some_o 200_o some_o 300_o some_o 500_o year_n before_o they_o come_v to_o pass_v be_v so_o evident_a from_o the_o

have_v those_o prophecy_n by_o they_o many_o year_n before_o they_o be_v fulfil_v and_o therefore_o can_v be_v suppose_v to_o have_v forge_v those_o prophecy_n after_o the_o thing_n pretend_v to_o be_v foretell_v in_o they_o be_v come_v to_o pass_v but_o have_v we_o no_o other_o testimony_n that_o the_o write_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v inspire_v and_o of_o divine_a original_a but_o that_o of_o jesus_n and_o his_o apostle_n provide_v we_o can_v prove_v that_o these_o come_v with_o divine_a authority_n there_o will_v be_v enough_o to_o satisfy_v any_o person_n that_o do_v not_o

have_v unanimous_o believe_v for_o 1600_o year_n together_o and_o i_o must_v needs_o suppose_v there_o can_v not_o have_v be_v such_o a_o stir_n in_o the_o world_n for_o so_o many_o hundred_o year_n together_o about_o the_o religion_n of_o jesus_n if_o there_o have_v not_o be_v such_o a_o person_n in_o the_o world_n but_o in_o this_o i_o find_v the_o whole_a world_n agree_v that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o person_n not_o only_a christian_n but_o their_o great_a enemy_n both_o jew_n and_o heathen_a do_v confess_v it_o this_o jesus_n as_o he_o do_v aver_v and_o maintain_v that_o god_n speak_v

pleasure_n of_o the_o almighty_a concern_v their_o everlasting_a happiness_n for_o i_o find_v he_o wrought_v such_o miracle_n work_v so_o exceed_v art_n and_o nature_n that_o they_o be_v the_o

of_o magic_n and_o deal_v with_o the_o devil_n he_o make_v all_o that_o stir_n and_o noise_n in_o the_o world_n and_o draw_v so_o many_o follower_n after_o he_o which_o to_o any_o man_n in_o his_o wit_n seem_v the_o filly_a plea_n imaginable_a for_o his_o doctrine_n life_n miracle_n all_o tend_v to_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o devil_n kingdom_n his_o first_o work_n be_v to_o forbid_v
