blind_a chance_n by_o hap_n hazard_n by_o fortune_n or_o at_o all_o aventure_n but_o by_o the_o express_a will_n providence_n disposition_n &_o government_n of_o god_n as_o when_o our_o saviour_n

be_v already_o do_v he_o speak_v after_o the_o manner_n of_o other_o prophet_n who_o for_o the_o certainty_n of_o the_o event_n be_v wont_a to_o foretell_v of_o thing_n to_o come_v as_o if_o they_o

as_o after_o it_o be_v say_v again_o he_o be_v lead_v as_o a_o sheep_n to_o the_o slaughter_n and_o as_o a_o lamb_n before_o the_o shearer_n 8.32_o he_o open_v not_o his_o mouth_n and_o such_o a_o

without_o the_o special_a providence_n and_o government_n of_o the_o almighty_a a_o monk_n have_v slay_v a_o king_n note_n not_o a_o paint_a king_n one_o figure_v out_o upon_o a_o piece_n of_o paper_n

likewise_o that_o christ_n shall_v die_v it_o be_v as_o easy_o believe_v but_o be_v dead_a to_o rise_v again_o because_o that_o to_o a_o natural_a habit_n once_o whole_o lose_v there_o be_v no_o

out_o of_o a_o swoon_n or_o of_o a_o ecstasy_n shall_v recover_v himself_o again_o for_o that_o in_o the_o course_n of_o nature_n such_o thing_n be_v usual_a in_o humane_a reason_n we_o accord_v unto_o it_o but_o a_o dead_a man_n to_o rise_v again_o in_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o flesh_n it_o seem_v so_o incredible_a that_o when_o paul_n make_v mention_v thereof_o among_o the_o athenian_a

again_o therefore_o in_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v not_o wont_a to_o fall_v out_o according_a to_o the_o custom_n of_o nature_n and_o common_a course_n of_o the_o world_n 17.32_o the_o prophet_n say_v that_o no_o man_n will_v believe_v when_o report_n shall_v be_v make_v but_o yet_o when_o we_o remember_v god_n omnipotent_a power_n and_o captivate_v our_o understanding_n to_o the_o obedience_n which_o be_v through_o faith_n and_o to_o the_o will_n of_o christ_n we_o be_v bring_v to_o believe_v for_o by_o this_o mean_n that_o which_o natural_o be_v uncredible_a be_v become_v credible_a therefore_o i_o which_o according_a to_o man_n do_v not_o believe_v that_o christ_n be_v bear_v of_o a_o virgin_n yet_o when_o it_o be_v further_o add_v that_o it_o be_v do_v by_o the_o work_n of_o
