trust_v in_o he_o and_o wonder_v at_o he_o and_o worship_v he_o in_o respect_n of_o his_o great_a power_n when_o as_o in_o deed_n it_o be_v he_o that_o carry_v they_o and_o bear_v they_o on_o his_o

for_o there_o be_v in_o satan_n great_a craft_n and_o cunning_a to_o cover_v his_o wickedness_n &_o mischief_n wherefore_o the_o covenant_n which_o he_o make_v with_o they_o seem_v unto_o i_o to_o

wherefore_o saint_n peter_n the_o apostle_n in_o the_o three_o of_o the_o act_n the_o twelve_o verse_n when_o he_o have_v heal_v the_o lame_a man_n and_o have_v wrought_v a_o true_a miracle_n say_v

for_o as_o it_o be_v write_v in_o isaiah_n god_n will_v never_o geve_v away_o his_o peculiar_a glory_n to_o another_o wherefore_o they_o who_o you_o have_v last_o recite_v good_a angel_n apostle_n

work_v miracle_n by_o he_o also_o for_o god_n of_o his_o justice_n will_v not_o communicate_v his_o glory_n in_o such_o measure_n unto_o satan_n and_o devil_n as_o he_o give_v it_o unto_o the_o

which_o pharao_n magician_n although_o they_o be_v scholar_n very_o well_o practise_v in_o the_o art_n of_o satan_n and_o his_o most_o excellent_a minister_n can_v never_o do_v the_o like_a

nature_n as_o it_o be_v write_v in_o the_o eight_o chapter_n of_o exodus_fw-la the_o eighteen_o verse_n and_o the_o cause_n of_o this_o diversity_n between_o satan_n and_o the_o true_a servant_n of_o god_n and_o the_o diversity_n of_o his_o counsel_n and_o providence_n be_v this_o in_o that_o satan_n in_o work_v of_o miracle_n seek_v not_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n but_o the_o good_a angel_n and_o holy_a man_n have_v only_o regard_n and_o respect_n to_o that_o so_o that_o many_o time_n these_o man_n be_v the_o instrument_n of_o god_n but_o he_o never_o be_v and_o although_o this_o be_v true_a that_o satan_n of_o himself_o can_v do_v nothing_o but_o how_o much_o and_o when_o it_o please_v god_n to_o geve_v he_o leave_v so_o likewise_o neither_o can_v he_o destroy_v nor_o change_v the_o

they_o be_v hide_v from_o we_o final_o he_o enforce_v they_o with_o such_o celerity_n that_o the_o whole_a work_n seem_v unto_o we_o to_o be_v a_o miracle_n for_o he_o quick_o gather_v the_o mean_n
