way_n of_o conviction_n they_o put_v the_o master_n to_o death_n as_o a_o malefactor_n and_o murder_v his_o servant_n i_o say_v therefore_o that_o to_o some_o person_n and_o in_o some_o circumstance_n miracle_n be_v proper_a mean_n to_o beget_v faith_n 1._o they_o be_v necessary_a mean_n to_o they_o who_o have_v be_v constant_o use_v and_o train_v up_o by_o miracle_n such_o be_v the_o jew_n who_o receive_v their_o law_n in_o a_o miraculous_a manner_n the_o divinity_n of_o which_o be_v frequent_o afterward_o attest_v by_o miracle_n and_o upon_o any_o great_a and_o notable_a defection_n of_o the_o people_n to_o idolatry_n god_n be_v please_v to_o reduce_v they_o by_o send_v and_o enable_v a_o prophet_n to_o work_v miracle_n now_o it_o be_v very_o unreasonable_a to_o think_v that_o the_o gospel_n which_o shall_v introduce_v and_o make_v so_o mighty_a a_o change_n in_o the_o judaical_a oeconomy_n shall_v gain_v belief_n of_o they_o unassisted_a of_o miraculous_a evidence_n and_o

hence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o jew_n demand_v of_o christ_n a_o sign_n joh._n 2.18_o forasmuch_o as_o he_o call_v god_n his_o father_n and_o carry_v himself_o in_o the_o way_n of_o a_o prophet_n they_o require_v he_o to_o evidence_n this_o his_o authority_n by_o some_o miraculous_a action_n which_o our_o bless_a saviour_n both_o promise_n and_o fulfil_v by_o raise_v himself_o from_o the_o dead_a 2._o miracle_n do_v more_o powerful_o strike_v the_o sense_n and_o so_o be_v more_o apt_a to_o beget_v belief_n in_o they_o who_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o a_o rational_a apprehension_n and_o dijudication_n of_o truth_n hitherto_o we_o may_v refer_v christ_n upbraid_v chorazin_n and_o bethsaida_n if_o the_o mighty_a work_n which_o be_v do_v in_o they_o 11.21_o have_v be_v do_v in_o

inveterate_a ignorance_n and_o be_v so_o perfect_o enslave_v to_o sense_n be_v more_o likely_a to_o have_v be_v rouse_v out_o of_o their_o blockishness_n and_o stupidity_n by_o miracle_n which_o so_o forcible_o strike_v the_o imagination_n than_o by_o the_o most_o rational_a discourse_n to_o which_o they_o have_v so_o little_a vital_a congruity_n and_o agreeableness_n and_o it_o be_v very_o observable_a that_o the_o apostle_n never_o wrought_v a_o miracle_n but_o upon_o a_o urgent_a occasion_n and_o great_a necessity_n where_o they_o find_v their_o auditor_n capable_a and_o

therefore_o sensual_a and_o hypocritical_a person_n judge_v it_o to_o be_v hard_a troublesome_a and_o uneasy_a but_o three_o man_n general_o distemper_v as_o they_o be_v have_v no_o mind_n to_o set_v
