therefore_o he_o detract_v to_o desire_v a_o sign_n unto_o the_o question_n i_o answer_v that_o after_o a_o sort_n it_o be_v lawful_a to_o desire_v sign_n and_o the_o same_o also_o after_o a_o sort_n be_v unlawful_a the_o first_o part_n of_o the_o sentence_n be_v thus_o prove_v when_o holy_a man_n desire_v as_o touch_v any_o unaccustomed_a vocation_n to_o be_v make_v more_o assure_v of_o the_o

with_o such_o doubt_n &_o the_o will_n be_v ready_a yea_o desirous_a to_o obey_v the_o commandment_n of_o the_o lord_n if_o than_o they_o desire_v to_o be_v confirm_v by_o some_o sign_n these_o godly_a man_n can_v not_o be_v accuse_v of_o tempt_v of_o god_n or_o of_o rashness_n for_o who_o soever_o in_o those_o case_n desire_v those_o thing_n which_o god_n use_v to_o offer_v he_o depart_v

to_o desire_v those_o thing_n which_o god_n sometime_o geve_v and_o free_o offer_v ought_v not_o to_o be_v prohibit_v as_o unlawful_a the_o thing_n want_v no_o example_n moses_n when_o he_o have_v

take_v up_o thy_o bed_n rise_v and_o walk_v wherefore_o miracle_n be_v desire_v of_o holy_a man_n and_o that_o just_o either_o that_o they_o may_v be_v make_v the_o more_o assure_v of_o their_o

miracle_n caution_n in_o desire_v of_o miracle_n let_v they_o desire_v the_o same_o not_o of_o any_o creature_n but_o of_o god_n only_o and_o in_o ask_v they_o let_v they_o use_v a_o mean_a for_o they_o declare_v that_o they_o will_v or_o desire_v nothing_o but_o that_o which_o be_v agreeable_a unto_o the_o will_n of_o god_n now_o on_o the_o contrary_a part_n let_v we_o consider_v after_o
