jesus_n of_o nazareth_n testify_v thus_o of_o himself_o and_o confirm_v his_o testimony_n by_o many_o infallible_a miracle_n which_o be_v wrought_v by_o himself_o and_o by_o his_o follower_n in_o his_o name_n therefore_o jesus_n of_o nazareth_n must_v needs_o be_v the_o messiah_n the_o proposition_n say_v he_o i_o suppose_v no_o rational_a man_n will_v deny_v whatever_o his_o persuasion_n be_v in_o matter_n of_o religion_n especial_o if_o he_o understand_v by_o miracle_n as_o i_o do_v such_o wonderful_a work_n as_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o course_n of_o nature_n and_o above_o and_o beyond_o the_o reach_n of_o any_o mere_a creature_n and_o as_o be_v the_o product_n of_o a_o almighty_a power_n it_o can_v be_v imagine_v that_o god_n who_o be_v the_o faithful_a and_o merciful_a governor_n of_o the_o universe_n will_v alter_v the_o course_n of_o nature_n and_o set_v the_o seal_n of_o his_o omnipotency_n to_o a_o lie_n and_o suffer_v the_o great_a inducement_n of_o belief_n to_o be_v make_v use_n of_o to_o draw_v the_o world_n into_o error_n and_o perdition_n two_o thing_n i_o take_v for_o grant_v nor_o can_v they_o be_v rational_o gainsay_v first_o that_o none_o but_o god_n and_o such_o as_o be_v assist_v by_o he_o can_v work_v real_a miracle_n satan_n and_o such_o as_o be_v act_v and_o aid_v by_o he_o may_v work_v wonder_n such_o as_o may_v breed_v admiration_n in_o the_o beholder_n but_o to_o work_v miracle_n proper_o and_o strict_o so_o call_v be_v above_o the_o power_n of_o satan_n or_o any_o create_v be_v this_o be_v the_o prerogative_n of_o he_o alone_o who_o power_n be_v infinite_a and_o unlimited_a second_o that_o god_n never_o do_v nor_o never_o will_v communicate_v this_o power_n to_o any_o of_o work_v miracle_n to_o confirm_v a_o falsehood_n to_o believe_v or_o affirm_v any_o such_o thing_n concern_v god_n do_v border_n at_o least_o upon_o blasphemy_n it_o be_v as_o if_o god_n shall_v lend_v the_o devil_n his_o seal_n to_o sign_v his_o delusion_n and_o suffer_v it_o too_o to_o be_v do_v in_o his_o name_n how_o then_o shall_v he_o govern_v the_o world_n in_o righteousness_n and_o how_o deplorable_a and_o remediless_a be_v the_o condition_n of_o poor_a mortal_n see_v they_o have_v no_o way_n leave_v they_o to_o undeceive_v themselves_o but_o must_v run_v into_o irrecoverable_a ruin_n and_o entitle_v god_n to_o their_o seduction_n and_o perdition_n that_o testimony_n then_o which_o have_v the_o attestation_n of_o miracle_n be_v undoubted_o divine_a hereby_o moses_n do_v prove_v his_o mission_n from_o god_n pharaoh_n and_o the_o egyptian_n do_v not_o except_v against_o the_o argument_n only_o they_o think_v at_o least_o for_o a_o season_n his_o work_n and_o wonder_n be_v not_o supernatural_a and_o that_o their_o sorcerer_n can_v vie_v with_o he_o in_o work_n of_o wonder_n which_o we_o read_v in_o exodus_fw-la they_o attempt_v by_o enchantment_n and_o diabolical_a assistance_n till_o at_o length_n they_o acknowledge_v a_o divine_a and_o supernatural_a power_n to_o work_v with_o moses_n and_o ingenuous_o confess_v that_o it_o be_v the_o finger_n of_o god_n and_o have_v moses_n affirm_v himself_o to_o be_v the_o messiah_n and_o continue_v to_o work_v such_o miracle_n to_o confirm_v it_o the_o israelite_n and_o other_o have_v be_v oblige_v to_o believe_v it_o they_o must_v have_v conclude_v that_o no_o man_n can_v do_v the_o miracle_n that_o he_o do_v except_o god_n be_v with_o he_o and_o wrought_v in_o and_o by_o he_o and_o that_o god_n will_v never_o work_v with_o a_o deluder_n and_o lend_v he_o his_o seal_n as_o i_o say_v before_o to_o sign_v his_o delusion_n and_o deceive_v the_o world_n in_o his_o name_n moses_n therefore_o never_o have_v that_o pretext_n but_o tell_v the_o people_n plain_o of_o a_o messiah_n to_o come_v of_o a_o prophet_n that_o god_n will_v raise_v up_o to_o they_o of_o their_o brethren_n that_o shall_v be_v like_a unto_o he_o that_o shall_v come_v with_o sign_n and_o miracle_n as_o he_o have_v do_v who_o they_o shall_v hearken_v to_o and_o obey_v according_o when_o jesus_n our_o saviour_n be_v make_v of_o a_o woman_n and_o manifest_v in_o the_o flesh_n the_o fullness_n of_o time_n be_v come_v the_o main_a argument_n he_o use_v to_o bring_v the_o world_n to_o believe_v in_o he_o be_v this_o of_o sign_n and_o miracle_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o he_o tell_v his_o follower_n that_o the_o work_v he_o wrought_v do_v bear_v witness_n of_o he_o and_o when_o the_o jew_n that_o be_v round_o about_o he_o ask_v he_o how_o long_o he_o make_v they_o to_o doubt_v and_o desire_v he_o to_o tell_v they_o plain_o if_o he_o be_v the_o christ_n he_o answer_v that_o he_o have_v already_o tell_v they_o that_o the_o work_n which_o he_o do_v in_o his_o father_n name_n do_v testify_v of_o he_o yea_o say_v he_o if_o i_o do_v not_o the_o work_n of_o my_o father_n believe_v i_o not_o but_o if_o i_o do_v although_o you_o believe_v not_o i_o yet_o believe_v the_o work_n and_o again_o he_o say_v believe_v that_o i_o be_o in_o the_o father_n and_o the_o father_n in_o i_o or_o else_o believe_v i_o for_o the_o very_a work_n sake_n he_o tell_v they_o further_o that_o if_o he_o have_v not_o do_v the_o work_n among_o they_o that_o none_o other_o man_n do_v or_o can_v do_v they_o have_v not_o sin_v in_o not_o believe_v in_o he_o this_o also_o we_o find_v to_o be_v the_o great_a argument_n upon_o which_o so_o many_o believe_v when_o they_o see_v the_o miracle_n that_o he_o he_o do_v they_o say_v this_o be_v of_o a_o truth_n that_o prophet_n that_o shall_v come_v into_o the_o world_n they_o have_v be_v in_o doubt_n for_o a_o while_n whether_o john_n the_o baptist_n be_v not_o the_o christ_n but_o anon_o they_o consider_v that_o john_n wrought_v no_o miracle_n but_o all_o thing_n that_o john_n speak_v of_o jesus_n be_v true_a and_o beside_o he_o have_v do_v many_o miracle_n and_o therefore_o many_o believe_v in_o he_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o demonstration_n of_o the_o major_a proposition_n now_o i_o come_v to_o the_o assumption_n or_o minor_a proposition_n which_o be_v that_o jesus_n of_o nazareth_n testify_v of_o himself_o that_o he_o be_v the_o messiah_n and_o confirm_v his_o testimony_n by_o many_o infallible_a miracle_n which_o be_v wrought_v by_o himself_o and_o by_o his_o follower_n in_o his_o name_n that_o he_o testify_v thus_o of_o himself_o be_v not_o deny_v he_o tell_v the_o jew_n unless_o you_o believe_v that_o i_o be_o he_o you_o shall_v die_v in_o your_o sin_n this_o be_v the_o main_a part_n of_o that_o good_a confession_n which_o he_o witness_v before_o pontius_n pilate_n the_o roman_a governor_n and_o it_o be_v the_o main_a quarrel_n your_o ancestor_n have_v against_o he_o for_o though_o they_o expect_v about_o this_o time_n the_o come_n of_o the_o messiah_n and_o that_o for_o good_a reason_n because_o daniel_n seventy_o week_n be_v run_v out_o and_o the_o sceptre_n be_v depart_v from_o judah_n and_o a_o lawgiver_n from_o between_o his_o foot_n and_o the_o like_a yet_o they_o will_v not_o hear_v that_o jesus_n of_o nazareth_n shall_v be_v the_o person_n alas_o he_o have_v not_o the_o port_n and_o presence_n of_o a_o worldly_a potentate_n such_o as_o they_o dream_v of_o when_o they_o see_v he_o there_o be_v no_o form_n or_o comeliness_n for_o which_o they_o shall_v desire_v he_o they_o hide_v their_o face_n from_o he_o and_o esteem_v he_o not_o as_o be_v foretell_v by_o isaiah_n the_o prophet_n that_o therefore_o which_o remain_v to_o be_v prove_v be_v that_o he_o confirm_v this_o his_o testimony_n by_o many_o infallible_a miracle_n which_o be_v wrought_v by_o himself_o and_o by_o his_o follower_n in_o his_o name_n let_v i_o begin_v with_o the_o miracle_n which_o he_o wrought_v himself_o of_o which_o there_o be_v a_o very_a great_a number_n and_o that_o of_o divers_a kind_n and_o these_o be_v not_o do_v in_o a_o corner_n but_o in_o the_o face_n of_o the_o world_n before_o multitude_n and_o that_o in_o the_o presence_n of_o if_o not_o upon_o the_o person_n of_o some_o of_o his_o great_a enemy_n his_o first_o miracle_n after_o his_o show_a himself_o to_o israel_n be_v at_o a_o marriage-feast_n in_o cana_n of_o galilee_n where_o he_o turn_v water_n and_o a_o great_a quantity_n of_o it_o into_o wine_n after_o that_o he_o feed_v more_o than_o once_o a_o great_a multitude_n even_o several_a thousand_o with_o a_o few_o barley-loave_n and_o small_a fish_n which_o be_v so_o miraculous_o multiply_v that_o after_o they_o have_v eat_v and_o be_v fill_v his_o follower_n gather_v up_o more_o fragment_n than_o there_o be_v at_o first_o in_o whole_a meat_n he_o heal_v all_o manner_n of_o disease_n whether_o the_o disease_a be_v present_a or_o absent_a and_o this_o he_o do_v as_o likewise_o his_o

to_o bely_v god_n and_o their_o own_o conscience_n we_o may_v imagine_v it_o must_v have_v be_v for_o some_o advantage_n to_o themselves_o but_o contrariwise_o they_o know_v that_o to_o profess_v christ_n and_o the_o christian_a religion_n be_v to_o bring_v upon_o themselves_o and_o they_o the_o great_a odium_fw-la and_o persecution_n yea_o god_n himself_o will_v have_v abhor_v such_o miscreant_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_n we_o find_v they_o be_v approve_v of_o god_n and_o that_o by_o many_o miraculous_a sign_n and_o wonder_n which_o he_o do_v by_o they_o and_o by_o that_o abundant_a measure_n of_o his_o spirit_n which_o he_o pour_v out_o in_o extraordinary_a gift_n and_o grace_n upon_o they_o and_o this_o will_v have_v lead_v i_o to_o the_o last_o term_n in_o my_o assumption_n that_o jesus_n his_o testimony_n of_o himself_o be_v confirm_v not_o only_o by_o his_o own_o miracle_n but_o also_o by_o the_o miracle_n that_o his_o follower_n do_v in_o his_o name_n for_o the_o truth_n be_v they_o do_v as_o great_a miracle_n in_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n as_o ever_o he_o do_v in_o his_o own_o person_n they_o cure_v all_o manner_n of_o infirmity_n and_o that_o not_o leisurely_o by_o the_o application_n of_o medicine_n but_o sudden_o and_o miraculous_o by_o a_o word_n speak_v the_o very_a shadow_n of_o peter_n one_o of_o his_o disciple_n heal_v the_o sick_a

and_o demonstration_n with_o it_o for_o to_o be_v plain_a with_o you_o it_o do_v not_o appear_v to_o we_o that_o though_o jesus_n of_o nazareth_n do_v testify_v he_o be_v the_o messiah_n he_o

the_o chief_a priest_n of_o our_o nation_n see_v any_o such_o miracle_n do_v by_o jesus_n of_o nazareth_n as_o your_o record_n do_v mention_n they_o be_v man_n of_o that_o religion_n and_o learning_n that_o they_o will_v not_o have_v so_o evil_o entreat_v he_o but_o will_v have_v pay_v he_o more_o respect_n and_o veneration_n we_o believe_v therefore_o as_o our_o ancestor_n have_v believe_v before_o we_o that_o they_o be_v some_o of_o they_o forgery_n and_o feign_a miracle_n and_o that_o other_o of_o they_o pardon_n the_o word_n be_v diabolical_a achievement_n and_o we_o be_v the_o
