whereof_o say_v the_o apostle_n we_o speak_v when_o we_o speak_v of_o the_o various_a miracle_n and_o gift_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n according_a to_o his_o own_o will_n there_o be_v so_o close_a

rest_v upon_o the_o witness_n and_o yet_o rest_v upon_o they_o during_o the_o whole_a time_n past_a and_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o twelve_o hundred_o and_o sixty_o day_n of_o the_o woman_n in_o the_o wilderness_n and_o the_o witness_n in_o sackcloth_n and_o the_o forty_o two_o month_n of_o the_o antichristian_a apostasy_n it_o may_v seem_v that_o by_o give_v such_o account_n of_o the_o

these_o follow_a particular_n show_v the_o constancy_n of_o spiritual_a miracle_n 1._o those_o mighty_a miraculous_a spiritual_a power_n of_o the_o gospel_n never_o remove_v from_o it_o wherever_o the_o gospel_n come_v they_o come_v wherever_o the_o gospel-styled_a the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n remove_n be_v take_v from_o any_o they_o remove_v also_o and_o though_o these_o be_v not_o account_v miracle_n because_o they_o do_v not_o assure_v themselves_o to_o sense_n yet_o the_o intrinsic_a inward_a excellency_n of_o they_o be_v such_o that_o they_o be_v indeed_o the_o true_a miraculous_a nature_n if_o i_o may_v so_o speak_v both_o as_o they_o be_v effect_n and_o emanation_n of_o immediate_a power_n from_o heaven_n and_o as_o they_o be_v so_o many_o essential_a part_n and_o piece_n of_o the_o world_n to_o come_v and_o first_o the_o gospel_n be_v its_o own_o miracle_n so_o rich_a a_o manifestation_n of_o truth_n that_o have_v be_v hide_v from_o age_n and_o generation_n and_o now_o manifest_v in_o these_o last_o time_n but_o beside_o it_o be_v true_o miraculous_a in_o its_o effect_n 2._o the_o acceptance_n of_o believer_n in_o jesus_n christ_n to_o righteousness_n before_o and_o with_o god_n through_o free_a pardon_n and_o justification_n by_o the_o blood_n and_o obedience_n of_o jesus_n christ._n 3._o the_o renovation_n and_o change_v of_o the_o whole_a man_n and_o of_o the_o action_n and_o conversation_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o jesus_n christ_n mortify_v the_o corrupt_a lust_n inordinate_a affection_n and_o fill_v the_o soul_n with_o every_o grace_n to_o newness_n of_o life_n and_o obedience_n 4._o die_v or_o sleep_v in_o and_o by_o jesus_n christ_n when_o saint_n spirit_n call_v out_o of_o the_o body_n go_v up_o to_o god_n and_o christ_n 5._o when_o any_o one_o be_v assure_v in_o his_o own_o mind_n have_v full_a evidence_n when_o he_o find_v all_o he_o ever_o do_v be_v bring_v under_o conviction_n and_o confession_n as_o in_o the_o woman_n of_o samaria_n and_o that_o the_o heart_n and_o life_n be_v change_v why_o shall_v miracle_n be_v narrow_v so_o much_o to_o sense_n while_o thus_o there_o be_v surmount_a evidence_n to_o the_o whole_a man_n now_o although_o the_o work_a and_o act_n hereof_o be_v invisible_a and_o indiscernible_a by_o sense_n yet_o they_o be_v as_o spiritual_a great_a reality_n every_o way_n above_o the_o power_n of_o nature_n or_o its_o comprehension_n assert_v in_o all_o scripture_n to_o be_v the_o mighty_a power_n of_o god_n and_o give_v a_o rich_a or_o abundant_a entrance_n into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o our_o lord_n und_fw-ge saviour_n jesus_n christ_n and_o therefore_o want_v only_o the_o extern_a appearance_n and_o assurance_n but_o give_v great_a inward_a assurance_n for_o they_o be_v acknowledge_v and_o comprehend_v by_o all_o saint_n even_o this_o height_n depth_n breadth_n and_o length_n of_o which_o the_o apostle_n speak_v ephes_n 3._o 18._o as_o if_o he_o hereby_o intend_v mathematical_a assurance_n they_o be_v inward_o see_v hear_v taste_v and_o feel_v and_o they_o have_v the_o odour_n the_o flavour_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n cause_v the_o triumph_n of_o his_o servant_n the_o certain_a observation_n of_o all_o by_o stander_n who_o can_v but_o acknowledge_v their_o good_a conversation_n the_o holy_a life_n and_o comfortable_a die_v of_o the_o saint_n of_o christ_n and_o many_o have_v be_v wrought_v upon_o hereby_o to_o faith_n in_o jesus_n christ_n the_o acknowledge_v principal_a end_n of_o miracle_n but_o beside_o these_o which_o be_v always_o inseparable_a from_o the_o gospel_n there_o be_v those_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n have_v tell_v we_o be_v proper_a to_o the_o very_a time_n of_o the_o apostasy_n as_o a_o counterpoison_v to_o it_o manifest_v in_o and_o by_o the_o witness_n of_o that_o time_n i_o will_v therefore_o open_v as_o i_o have_v before_o show_v miracle_n be_v to_o be_v divide_v into_o miracle_n of_o mercy_n and_o of_o judgement_n how_o far_o miracle_n continue_v even_o all_o the_o time_n of_o the_o antichristian_a apostasy_n in_o each_o way_n or_o manner_n of_o exercise_n but_o it_o be_v heedful_o to_o be_v remember_v they_o be_v not_o represent_v and_o counterpart_v with_o those_o open_a and_o sensible_a miracle_n which_o be_v indeed_o the_o miracle_n that_o more_o proper_o we_o be_v now_o in_o discourse_n of_o such_o as_o force_v the_o sense_n and_o call_v upon_o man_n universal_o to_o say_v here_o be_v the_o finger_n of_o god_n for_o the_o witness_n and_o their_o miracle_n be_v under_o the_o seal_n of_o the_o live_a god_n as_o i_o have_v already_o reason_v and_o so_o be_v not_o see_v and_o acknowledge_v but_o by_o compare_v spiritual_a thing_n with_o spiritual_a and_o therefore_o not_o by_o natural_a man_n even_o man_n of_o sense_n great_a reasoner_n as_o they_o be_v repute_a without_o the_o help_n of_o the_o divine_a spirit_n 1._o it_o be_v true_o a_o miracle_n to_o

indeed_o a_o bring_v down_o fire_n from_o heaven_n now_o what_o be_v this_o but_o a_o denounce_v the_o judgement_n of_o god_n upon_o antichristianism_n that_o shall_v so_o sure_o be_v fullfil_v in_o their_o season_n and_o of_o this_o there_o be_v many_o great_a witness_n and_o monument_n in_o the_o dark_a time_n there_o be_v those_o that_o let_v fly_n as_o we_o speak_v against_o the_o papacy_n who_o spare_v not_o to_o call_v the_o pope_n antichrist_n to_o his_o face_n to_o affirm_v christianity_n be_v turn_v into_o paganism_n among_o they_o fire_n go_v out_o of_o their_o mouth_n to_o this_o

of_o which_o each_o particular_a soul_n of_o that_o antichristian_a union_n go_v out_o of_o this_o world_n have_v find_v the_o dreadful_a effect_n of_o which_o the_o reformation_n have_v be_v the_o

to_o shut_v heaven_n that_o it_o shall_v not_o rain_v in_o the_o day_n of_o their_o prophecy_n now_o what_o be_v this_o it_o be_v take_v from_o elijah_n swear_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o live_a

the_o three_o particular_a they_o have_v power_n to_o turn_v water_n into_o blood_n into_o the_o blood_n of_o a_o dead_a man_n as_o another_o expression_n of_o the_o revelation_n give_v it_o we_o
