the_o dead_a turn_v water_n into_o wine_n feed_v thousand_o of_o people_n with_o the_o miraculous_a multiplication_n of_o a_o few_o loaf_n and_o fish_n and_o many_o more_o be_v as_o certain_a as_o

and_o they_o be_v all_o amaze_v and_o in_o doubt_n say_v one_o to_o another_o what_o mean_v this_o now_o the_o effect_n do_v clear_o prove_v the_o truth_n of_o this_o miracle_n for_o the_o multitude_n of_o convert_v in_o all_o these_o nation_n can_v not_o be_v make_v without_o language_n and_o a_o few_o poor_a illiterate_a fisherman_n can_v not_o learn_v all_o their_o language_n at_o once_o without_o he_o miraculous_a power_n of_o god._n but_o the_o performance_n of_o this_o undertake_n be_v the_o great_a of_o all_o miracle_n that_o they_o and_o their_o successor_n affect_v without_o the_o compulsion_n of_o a_o army_n which_o mahomet_n use_v but_o their_o doctrine_n do_v spring_v up_o in_o blood_n in_o spite_n of_o all_o the_o power_n and_o tyranny_n of_o the_o roman_n with_o their_o variety_n of_o cruel_a death_n and_o torture_n to_o suppress_v it_o till_o the_o miraculous_a sign_n of_o the_o cross_n in_o the_o air_n convert_v the_o great_a constantine_n with_o the_o great_a part_n of_o his_o army_n to_o christianity_n by_o those_o legible_a word_n in_o this_o sign_n thou_o shall_v overcome_v and_o though_o mahometism_n have_v usurp_v upon_o christianity_n in_o

when_o large_a tract_n be_v lay_v by_o i_o do_v not_o distrust_v but_o that_o i_o have_v here_o lay_v enough_o together_o to_o satisfy_v all_o discern_a lover_n of_o truth_n and_o that_o i_o shall_v engage_v many_o reader_n to_o be_v of_o a_o mind_n as_o far_o as_o christianity_n and_o now_o my_o next_o attempt_n will_v be_v the_o union_n of_o christian_n among_o themselves_o but_o because_o i_o

to_o endeavour_v the_o satisfaction_n of_o those_o who_o be_v no_o lover_n of_o truth_n but_o doubt_v or_o mis-believe_a the_o content_n of_o it_o and_o to_o begin_v with_o the_o four_o evangelist_n the_o first_o writer_n of_o the_o new_a law._n the_o tradition_n of_o most_o nation_n omit_v the_o church_n history_n and_o father_n for_o brevity_n sake_n assure_v we_o that_o they_o be_v all_o man_n of_o exemplary_a piety_n and_o suffering_n and_o two_o of_o they_o be_v of_o the_o twelve_o apostle_n who_o can_v mistake_v nothing_o they_o be_v actor_n in_o and_o st._n matthew_n make_v good_a his_o

through_o all_o the_o believe_a world_n for_o their_o great_a sanctity_n it_o be_v enough_o to_o say_v that_o their_o write_n with_o the_o rest_n of_o st._n paul_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o that_o
