of_o god_n which_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o his_o power_n by_o this_o argument_n do_v christ_n prove_v that_o his_o miracle_n be_v not_o do_v by_o the_o power_n of_o belzebub_n if_o i_o by_o the_o finger_n of_o god_n cast_v out_o devil_n by_o who_o do_v your_o child_n cast_v they_o out_o last_o this_o may_v also_o appear_v by_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o mean_n which_o the_o lord_n use_v in_o work_v of_o miracle_n as_o the_o shadow_n of_o peter_n to_o cure_v disease_n can_v any_o man_n shadow_n cure_v another_o no_o but_o the_o lord_n will_v have_v that_o this_o mean_n shall_v show_v that_o the_o thing_n be_v wrought_v by_o his_o power_n so_o the_o handkerchief_n of_o paul_n do_v cure_v disease_n not_o that_o there_o be_v any_o such_o virtue_n in_o it_o but_o that_o it_o come_v from_o the_o lord_n so_o also_o do_v the_o hem_n of_o christ_n garment_n be_v there_o any_o power_n in_o the_o hem_n of_o a_o man_n garment_n to_o cure_v disease_n sure_o no_o but_o the_o lord_n use_v that_o mean_n to_o teach_v we_o thereby_o that_o his_o power_n only_o do_v work_v it_o here_o than_o we_o must_v acknowledge_v that_o miracle_n be_v wrought_v only_o by_o the_o lord_n and_o serve_v great_o to_o the_o advance_v of_o his_o glory_n last_o we_o must_v consider_v that_o a_o miracle_n be_v contrary_a to_o the_o instinct_n of_o nature_n nature_n have_v never_o any_o such_o inclination_n as_o to_o bring_v to_o pass_v any_o miracle_n as_o when_o the_o water_n stand_v on_o two_o part_n nature_n have_v a_o desire_n to_o make_v the_o water_n run_v when_o as_o then_o the_o water_n stand_v it_o be_v contrary_a to_o nature_n the_o use_n the_o use_n that_o we_o must_v make_v hereof_o be_v to_o give_v to_o god_n that_o which_o be_v his_o own_o that_o we_o shall_v acknowledge_v he_o to_o be_v the_o sole_a author_n and_o worker_n of_o miracle_n that_o either_o have_v be_v or_o shall_v be_v in_o the_o world_n if_o thou_o give_v they_o to_o satan_n than_o do_v thou_o constitute_v he_o instéed_n of_o the_o lord_n himself_o be_v thou_o the_o lord_n then_o know_v that_o neither_o satan_n nor_o any_o creature_n be_v able_a to_o work_v any_o miracle_n against_o thou_o if_o thou_o be_v he_o rather_o than_o his_o name_n shall_v be_v dishonour_v by_o thou_o he_o will_v work_v miraculous_o for_o thy_o good_a and_o preservation_n further_o this_o serve_v to_o ratify_v our_o faith_n in_o the_o power_n of_o god_n the_o devil_n be_v his_o servant_n whether_o he_o will_v or_o not_o he_o can_v do_v nothing_o but_o that_o which_o the_o lord_n will_v and_o hereby_o we_o hold_v that_o our_o body_n shall_v be_v raise_v again_o at_o the_o last_o day_n for_o god_n be_v able_a to_o work_v all_o miracle_n although_o there_o be_v neither_o bone_n skin_n nor_o flesh_n leave_v yet_o he_o be_v able_a to_o join_v flesh_n to_o flesh_n sinew_n to_o sinew_n and_o raise_v we_o up_o again_o with_o the_o same_o body_n we_o have_v before_o the_o second_o part_n of_o this_o sermon_n now_o remain_v something_o to_o be_v speak_v more_o plain_o and_o particular_o of_o miracle_n for_o as_o in_o all_o other_o thing_n so_o also_o in_o miracle_n the_o lord_n use_v diverse_a and_o sundry_a way_n of_o work_v for_o either_o himself_o alone_o and_o of_o himself_o alone_o or_o else_o he_o use_v some_o creature_n in_o the_o work_n of_o the_o same_o as_o in_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n he_o use_v not_o any_o thing_n out_o of_o himself_o but_o in_o himself_o by_o himself_o and_o of_o himself_o alone_o he_o create_v all_o thing_n of_o nothing_o so_o likewise_o in_o the_o work_n of_o some_o miracle_n it_o please_v he_o not_o to_o admit_v the_o use_n of_o any_o creature_n whatsoever_o as_o when_o he_o stay_v the_o sun_n in_o the_o firmament_n he_o do_v it_o of_o himself_o without_o the_o help_n of_o any_o other_o so_o also_o he_o turn_v back_o the_o shadow_n of_o the_o dial_n of_o azah_n by_o himself_o alone_o without_o the_o use_n of_o any_o other_o but_o nevertheless_o in_o work_v some_o miracle_n he_o use_v mean_n but_o especial_o man_n for_o the_o mean_n thereof_o as_o in_o all_o the_o miracle_n wrought_v in_o egypt_n the_o lord_n do_v work_v they_o indeed_o but_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o moses_n and_o aaron_n he_o divide_v the_o red_a sea_n so_o that_o israel_n pass_v through_o on_o dry_a foot_n but_o it_o be_v do_v by_o moses_n so_o also_o he_o wrought_v many_o miracle_n in_o the_o wilderness_n before_o the_o isralite_n but_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o moses_n and_o aaron_n so_o some_o miracle_n be_v do_v by_o judge_n some_o by_o elizaeus_n and_o other_o of_o the_o prophet_n so_o also_o god_n wrought_v miracle_n afterward_o not_o only_o by_o his_o son_n but_o also_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o apostle_n so_o that_o it_o be_v a_o true_a point_n of_o religion_n to_o hold_v that_o the_o lord_n in_o work_v of_o miracle_n do_v oftentimes_o use_v the_o mean_n of_o man_n therein_o in_o this_o doctrine_n we_o be_v to_o take_v heed_n of_o these_o two_o dangerous_a point_n first_o that_o we_o derogate_v nothing_o from_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n although_o he_o use_v mean_n in_o the_o work_n of_o many_o miracle_n second_o that_o we_o do_v not_o magnify_v the_o creature_n which_o the_o lord_n use_v above_o that_o which_o be_v convenient_a into_o which_o many_o have_v fall_v heretofore_o for_o the_o avoid_n therefore_o of_o they_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o hold_v these_o two_o point_n of_o religion_n first_o to_o believe_v and_o know_v that_o the_o omnipotent_a power_n of_o god_n can_v be_v communicate_v to_o any_o creature_n for_o the_o lord_n say_v as_o of_o his_o wisdom_n justice_n and_o mercy_n so_o also_o of_o his_o power_n i_o will_v not_o give_v my_o glory_n to_o another_o we_o be_v therefore_o to_o hold_v that_o the_o power_n of_o god_n can_v beseem_v any_o creature_n whatsoever_o no_o though_o it_o be_v a_o angel_n of_o heaven_n second_o that_o we_o must_v know_v remember_v and_o constant_o believe_v that_o albeit_o the_o power_n of_o god_n can_v be_v communicate_v to_o any_o creature_n either_o in_o heaven_n or_o in_o earth_n yet_o that_o there_o be_v no_o creature_n capable_a thereof_o no_o creature_n be_v able_a to_o bear_v it_o this_o be_v evident_a in_o the_o example_n of_o peter_n before_o who_o when_o christ_n have_v wrought_v a_o miracle_n and_o he_o have_v see_v some_o small_a sight_n of_o his_o glory_n he_o say_v depart_v from_o i_o lord_n for_o i_o be_o a_o sinful_a man_n if_o peter_n can_v not_o abide_v the_o glimmer_n of_o his_o glory_n and_o if_o it_o bring_v his_o sin_n to_o memory_n insomuch_o that_o he_o think_v himself_o unworthy_a of_o his_o presence_n how_o much_o more_o unable_a have_v he_o be_v to_o bear_v the_o weight_n thereof_o but_o may_n some_o say_v if_o this_o be_v so_o why_o then_o do_v the_o lord_n use_v mean_n in_o work_v of_o miracle_n why_o do_v he_o use_v man_n prophet_n apostle_n yea_o and_o those_o also_o which_o have_v no_o justify_v faith_n and_o also_o other_o creature_n i_o answer_v the_o lord_n use_v they_o not_o because_o he_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o they_o for_o he_o can_v work_v all_o thing_n of_o himself_o neither_o use_v he_o they_o that_o man_n shall_v ascribe_v less_o to_o he_o and_o more_o to_o the_o creature_n which_o he_o use_v but_o for_o to_o teach_v we_o these_o three_o thing_n first_o to_o teach_v we_o how_o his_o majesty_n do_v approve_v the_o mean_n whereby_o thing_n be_v bring_v to_o pass_v for_o if_o the_o lord_n use_v mean_n when_o as_o they_o be_v of_o less_o use_n much_o more_o will_v he_o approve_v when_o the_o mean_n be_v use_v which_o have_v some_o power_n to_o bring_v thing_n to_o pass_v this_o then_o be_v the_o first_o cause_n why_o the_o lord_n use_v mean_n to_o show_v that_o he_o will_v have_v we_o keep_v maintain_v and_o live_v in_o this_o world_n but_o so_o as_o by_o use_v such_o mean_n as_o his_o majesty_n shall_v appoint_v therefore_o no_o man_n ought_v to_o neglect_v and_o contemn_v the_o mean_n lest_o he_o oppose_v himself_o against_o the_o lord_n second_o the_o lord_n use_v creature_n in_o work_a miracle_n to_o support_v and_o uphold_v man_n weakness_n who_o be_v not_o able_a to_o look_v on_o his_o majesty_n when_o he_o work_v himself_o this_o be_v plain_a in_o the_o example_n of_o the_o israelite_n exod._n 19_o when_o they_o come_v to_o mount_n sinai_n to_o hear_v the_o lord_n there_o be_v such_o thunder_n and_o lightning_n and_o the_o sound_n of_o a_o trumpet_n exceed_a loud_a and_o the_o mount_n all_o of_o a_o smoke_n because_o the_o lord_n come_v down_o by_o fire_n they_o be_v so_o bereave_v of_o their_o sense_n and_o be_v so_o afraid_a that_o afterward_o they_o
