a_o good_a conscience_n these_o be_v english_a french_a of_o different_a character_n of_o different_a party_n and_o child_n that_o be_v every_o day_n play_v with_o she_o now_o what_o foolishness_n be_v it_o to_o suspect_v that_o so_o many_o person_n shall_v conspire_v together_o to_o confirm_v a_o lie_n by_o which_o they_o can_v receive_v no_o profit_n and_o wherein_o they_o can_v have_v no_o interest_n this_o be_v a_o character_n that_o make_v their_o testimony_n absolute_o good_a and_o valid_a according_a to_o the_o four_o remark_n we_o have_v before_o make_v though_o i_o do_v not_o insist_v upon_o the_o voice_n she_o think_v she_o have_v hear_v yet_o it_o be_v not_o because_o i_o believe_v nothing_o of_o it_o for_o the_o wonder_n of_o her_o cure_n render_v it_o very_o credible_a to_o i_o but_o it_o be_v only_o because_o her_o mistress_n hear_v nothing_o of_o it_o and_o have_v so_o many_o other_o proof_n beside_o i_o will_v not_o make_v use_n of_o this_o it_o seem_v but_o just_a that_o heaven_n who_o wrought_v this_o miracle_n upo●_n the_o girl_n do_v let_v she_o know_v at_o the_o same_o time_n from_o whence_o that_o great_a blessing_n to_o she_o come_v for_o fear_v least_o be_v ignorant_a of_o her_o benefactor_n she_o shall_v attribute_v her_o cure_n to_o some_o second_o cause_n i_o know_v not_o whether_o this_o argument_n i_o have_v make_v or_o rather_o the_o affidavit_n take_v upon_o oath_n before_o a_o right_n honourable_a magistrate_n will_v be_v able_a to_o convince_v some_o incredulous_a person_n but_o this_o i_o be_o sure_a of_o at_o least_o that_o a_o honest_a and_o sincere_a mind_n who_o only_o seek_v for_o truth_n will_v find_v enough_o here_o to_o satisfy_v he_o that_o god_n do_v still_o work_v wonderful_a thing_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o we_o i_o will_v conclude_v with_o answer_v two_o objection_n which_o i_o have_v hear_v already_o make_v against_o this_o miracle_n miracle_n say_v some_o be_v cease_v i_o know_v this_o have_v be_v a_o doctrine_n deliver_v by_o several_a famous_a protestant_n divine_v but_o however_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o understand_v they_o in_o too_o strict_a a_o sense_n for_o where_o be_v it_o to_o be_v find_v that_o god_n have_v threaten_v the_o world_n with_o work_v no_o more_o miracle_n we_o may_v say_v indeed_o they_o have_v cease_v in_o one_o sense_n because_o they_o be_v extraordinary_a rare_a in_o this_o age_n to_o what_o they_o be_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o apostle_n god_n work_v not_o miracle_n but_o through_o a_o kind_n of_o necessity_n at_o least_o it_o be_v my_o conception_n so_o but_o the_o sacred_a text_n tell_v we_o that_o he_o wrought_v one_o in_o favour_n of_o a_o king_n that_o be_v sick_a and_o why_o can_v he_o do_v so_o now_o to_o cure_v a_o poor_a girl_n who_o show_v so_o great_a a_o instance_n of_o faith_n moreover_o if_o miracle_n be_v chief_o to_o confirm_v the_o truth_n may_v not_o we_o say_v that_o they_o be_v at_o this_o day_n as_o necessary_a as_o ever_o so_o many_o error_n and_o open_a defiance_n of_o god_n be_v now_o so_o common_a and_o reign_v in_o the_o world_n the_o second_o objection_n be_v take_v from_o the_o weakness_n that_o the_o girl_n be_v in_o still_o god_n say_v they_o do_v not_o use_v to_o work_v miracle_n by_o half_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o miracle_n be_v complete_a and_o as_o i_o may_v true_o affirm_v that_o i_o be_o cure_v of_o a_o ague_n when_o i_o find_v i_o have_v no_o more_o fit_n although_o my_o plumpness_n my_o colour_n and_o my_o strength_n be_v not_o so_o well_o restore_v to_o i_o as_o they_o be_v when_o

a_o little_a weakness_n the_o miracle_n consist_v in_o do_v what_o nature_n can_v not_o do_v nature_n can_v not_o set_v the_o bone_n of_o the_o girl_n be_v thigh_n in_o its_o proper_a place_n again_o
