confutable_a by_o the_o 13._o v_o of_o this_o present_a chap._n where_o the_o exorcist_n be_v say_v to_o use_v the_o same_o word_n in_o effect_n which_o the_o apostle_n have_v use_v in_o the_o like_a case_n and_o bring_v nothing_o to_o pass_v which_o can_v not_o have_v be_v if_o the_o lord_n have_v appoint_v and_o give_v such_o virtue_n to_o the_o word_n alone_o to_o work_v such_o supernatural_a effect_n but_o to_o leave_v this_o and_o to_o return_v to_o our_o former_a purpose_n in_o the_o 18._o cap._n of_o deuteronomy_n vers_fw-la 20._o it_o be_v thus_o set_v down_o the_o prophet_n that_o shall_v presume_v to_o speak_v a_o word_n in_o my_o name_n which_o i_o have_v not_o command_v he_o to_o speak_v or_o that_o speak_v in_o the_o name_n of_o other_o god_n even_o the_o same_o prophet_n shall_v die_v the_o which_o place_n although_o it_o may_v seem_v by_o the_o word_n to_o be_v understand_v of_o the_o prophet_n or_o preacher_n of_o the_o word_n only_o yet_o it_o may_v also_o be_v understand_v of_o worker_n of_o miracle_n in_o as_o much_o as_o they_o for_o the_o most_o part_n be_v the_o worker_n of_o miracle_n and_o therefore_o in_o the_o 13._o cap._n vers_fw-la 1._o &_o 2._o of_o this_o book_n they_o be_v mention_v together_o in_o these_o word_n if_o there_o arise_v among_o you_o a_o prophet_n or_o a_o dreamer_n of_o dream_n &_o give_v thou_o asigne_v or_o a_o wonder_n etc._n etc._n yea_o even_o prophesy_v itself_o be_v a_o supernatural_a work_n and_o a_o miracle_n and_o further_o the_o circumstance_n of_o this_o 18._o chapter_n of_o deuteronomy_n from_o the_o 9_o verse_n do_v insinuate_v the_o same_o sense_n for_o after_o that_o the_o lord_n by_o the_o hand_n of_o moses_n have_v give_v the_o israelite_n in_o charge_n that_o when_o they_o come_v into_o the_o promise_a land_n of_o canaan_n they_o shall_v not_o seek_v to_o sorcerer_n witch_n enchanter_n necromancer_n and_o such_o like_a he_o tell_v they_o that_o he_o will_v raise_v they_o up_o prophet_n which_o shall_v supply_v all_o those_o want_n whereof_o they_o seek_v to_o be_v relieve_v by_o the_o aforesaid_a devilish_a practiser_n so_o farrre_v forth_o as_o god_n shall_v see_v it_o needful_a and_o therefore_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o reason_n why_o they_o shall_v use_v to_o go_v unto_o such_o but_o rather_o to_o use_v god_n his_o ordinary_a mean_n which_o he_o have_v allow_v in_o his_o word_n and_o sanctify_a and_o lest_o any_o of_o the_o aforesaid_a magician_n or_o any_o other_o be_v not_o lawful_o call_v shall_v intrude_v himself_o into_o this_o function_n therefore_o he_o threaten_v they_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v slay_v whether_o they_o pretend_v the_o name_n of_o the_o true_a god_n for_o this_o their_o practice_n or_o use_v the_o name_n of_o any_o other_o false_a god_n to_o bring_v their_o purpose_n about_o in_o which_o place_n we_o may_v note_v two_o especial_a mean_n in_o general_a to_o be_v set_v down_o whereby_o the_o prophet_n do_v prophesy_v and_o work_v wonder_n among_o the_o people_n the_o one_o be_v in_o the_o name_n of_o other_o that_o be_v strange_a or_o false_a god_n which_o be_v when_o they_o do_v it_o in_o the_o name_n and_o as_o it_o be_v by_o the_o mean_n of_o any_o thing_n or_o creature_n but_o only_o of_o god_n almighty_a for_o see_v there_o be_v but_o one_o god_n alone_o which_o be_v the_o true_a god_n and_o creator_n of_o all_o

a_o god_n and_o in_o the_o room_n of_o the_o true_a jehovah_n place_v the_o creature_n and_o of_o this_o sort_n be_v all_o they_o which_o work_n by_o the_o name_n of_o any_o either_o angel_n devil_n

other_o mean_n of_o work_a miracle_n be_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o only_a true_a god_n that_o be_v when_o they_o use_v any_o or_o all_o the_o name_n of_o the_o holy_a trinity_n or_o the_o mean_v set_v down_o in_o the_o word_n and_o exercise_v by_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n as_o be_v prayer_n and_o fast_v and_o such_o like_a they_o which_o do_v use_v the_o name_n of_o god_n as_o it_o consist_v of_o letter_n and_o syllable_n in_o these_o case_n whether_o pronounce_v with_o the_o mouth_n or_o write_v do_v exceed_o abuse_v and_o blaspheme_v the_o name_n of_o god_n against_o the_o three_o commandment_n thou_o shall_v not_o take_v the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n in_o vain_a use_v it_o unto_o another_o end_n than_o he_o have_v ordain_v it_o for_o god_n have_v not_o appoint_v his_o name_n for_o man_n to_o work_v wonder_n by_o it_o but_o that_o thereby_o he_o may_v be_v know_v and_o glorify_v for_o whereas_o god_n in_o himself_o be_v incomprehensible_a by_o the_o

weakness_n of_o our_o capacity_n can_v bear_v and_o as_o god_n think_v it_o to_o be_v most_o meet_a &_o convenient_a both_o for_o his_o own_o glory_n &_o the_o good_a of_o his_o people_n as_o he_o say_v unto_o the_o israelite_n in_o exod._n 6._o 2._o that_o the_o appear_v unto_o abraham_n isaac_n and_o jacob_n by_o the_o name_n of_o god_n almighty_a but_o say_v he_o by_o my_o name_n jehovah_n

albeit_o at_o the_o first_o it_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v very_o lawful_a and_o good_a yet_o if_o they_o have_v not_o a_o especial_a gift_n and_o call_v from_o god_n to_o work_v the_o same_o their_o practice_n be_v to_o be_v suspect_v nay_o it_o be_v most_o unlawful_a and_o wicked_a and_o a_o sin_n against_o the_o three_o commandment_n in_o that_o the_o mean_n aforesaid_a be_v vain_o use_v when_o as_o god_n have_v give_v no_o such_o virtue_n unto_o those_o word_n alone_o neither_o have_v they_o any_o commission_n from_o he_o to_o work_v miracle_n by_o his_o authority_n or_o power_n for_o although_o our_o saviour_n christ_n in_o the_o 17._o cap._n of_o matth._n vers_fw-la 21._o and_o mark_n cap._n 9_o vers_fw-la 29._o seem_v to_o insinuate_v that_o some_o miracle_n be_v not_o wrought_v without_o prayer_n and_o fast_v speak_v of_o the_o cast_v out_o of_o devil_n yet_o it_o follow_v not_o that_o god_n have_v grant_v such_o force_n and_o virtue_n unto_o the_o word_n in_o prayer_n or_o to_o the_o action_n of_o fast_v of_o themselves_o to_o work_v miracle_n howsoever_o they_o be_v use_v for_o our_o saviour_n christ_n do_v there_o speak_v unto_o his_o disciple_n upon_o who_o he_o have_v bestow_v the_o grace_n of_o work_a miracle_n before_o and_o yet_o nevertheless_o he_o will_v have_v they_o to_o use_v hearty_a prayer_n in_o this_o business_n that_o thereby_o they_o may_v acknowledge_v god_n almighty_a to_o be_v as_o well_o the_o continuer_n as_o the_o first_o author_n and_o giver_n of_o all_o such_o grace_n and_o that_o they_o may_v altogether_o depend_v upon_o he_o for_o his_o continual_a assistance_n with_o the_o same_o wherefore_o here_o we_o must_v have_v regard_n unto_o the_o first_o note_n of_o difference_n between_o the_o servant_n of_o god_n and_o the_o
