in_o the_o mouth_n of_o all_o the_o false_a prophet_n although_o they_o themselves_o do_v not_o at_o that_o time_n perceive_v it_o so_o he_o possess_v man_n body_n as_o in_o the_o gospel_n when_o our_o saviour_n have_v cast_v he_o out_o of_o a_o man_n he_o straight_o way_n go_v into_o a_o hear_v of_o swine_n and_o even_o so_o he_o be_v able_a to_o draw_v man_n body_n after_o he_o we_o may_v also_o see_v his_o power_n by_o a_o comparison_n with_o the_o good_a angel_n 2._o king_n 19_o a_o angel_n of_o the_o lord_n slay_v a_o hundred_o and_o 85000._o man_n of_o zenacherib_n host_n in_o one_o night_n now_o the_o same_o power_n be_v in_o satan_n by_o his_o creation_n which_o hereby_o appear_v to_o be_v very_o great_a so_o when_o he_o carry_v christ_n body_n upon_o a_o pinnacle_n of_o the_o temple_n and_o up_o into_o a_o mountain_n to_o tempt_v he_o and_o act_v 16._o 19_o there_o be_v exoreiste_n that_o will_v cast_v forth_o devil_n in_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n but_o the_o evil_a spirit_n in_o the_o man_n run_v on_o they_o and_o over-came_v they_o so_o that_o they_o sle_z out_o of_o the_o house_n naked_a and_o wound_v it_o be_v therefore_o certain_a that_o satan_n be_v of_o a_o wonderful_a power_n and_o that_o the_o child_n of_o god_n have_v oftentimes_o try_v both_o in_o themselves_o &_o also_o in_o other_o among_o many_o other_o i_o remember_v one_o that_o be_v worthy_a remembrance_n there_o be_v a_o man_n in_o geneva_n who_o feel_v something_o to_o fall_v out_o contrary_a to_o his_o mind_n and_o for_o diverse_a cause_n which_o be_v not_o needful_a to_o repeat_v blaspheme_v god_n &_o desire_v that_o if_o there_o be_v any_o devil_n they_o may_v come_v and_o take_v he_o away_o who_o be_v present_o in_o the_o air_n and_o never_o hear_v of_o after_o save_v only_o that_o his_o cap_n fall_v off_o his_o head_n which_o show_v that_o satan_n have_v great_a power_n this_o teach_v we_o that_o man_n must_v not_o be_v careless_a but_o must_v look_v to_o

limit_n be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n for_o he_o can_v do_v nothing_o against_o the_o will_n of_o god._n except_o the_o lord_n do_v either_o permit_v he_o or_o command_v he_o he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o do_v any_o thing_n at_o all_o as_o it_o be_v also_o in_o other_o creature_n the_o water_n shall_v by_o nature_n overflowe_v the_o whole_a earth_n yet_o they_o do_v not_o because_o it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n so_o also_o be_v it_o with_o satan_n as_o appear_v when_o the_o lord_n give_v he_o power_n of_o all_o job_n good_n beyond_o the_o lord_n will_v he_o can_v not_o go_v for_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o suffer_v he_o to_o do_v any_o thing_n to_o his_o child_n but_o only_a th●_n which_o shall_v tend_v to_o their_o good_a ar_n thou_o in_o misery_n or_o in_o any_o dangerous_a

which_o the_o lord_n command_v he_o but_o may_v not_o satan_n knowledge_n and_o power_n be_v use_v i_o answer_v it_o may_v god_n use_v it_o in_o punish_v try_v and_o correct_v his_o child_n again_o the_o apostle_n use_v his_o power_n for_o they_o have_v deliver_v man_n to_o satan_n as_o paul_n do_v 1._o tim._n 1._o 20._o himeneus_n and_o alexander_n and_o as_o he_o will_v have_v do_v the_o

and_o we_o be_v command_v to_o resist_v the_o devil_n and_o to_o fly_v from_o he_o we_o must_v not_o therefore_o consult_v with_o he_o he_o may_v oftentimes_o tell_v the_o truth_n but_o we_o must_v

be_v set_v down_o a_o double_a opinion_n which_o the_o pharisee_n hold_v concern_v christ_n and_o especial_o concern_v the_o work_n which_o he_o have_v wrought_v among_o they_o some_o of_o they_o have_v peremptory_o and_o flat_o condenm_v he_o say_v that_o he_o be_v a_o man_n that_o be_v not_o of_o god_n and_o they_o render_v a_o reason_n or_o rather_o a_o shadow_n of_o a_o reason_n namely_o because_o he_o keep_v not_o the_o sabbath_n but_o their_o opinion_n be_v rash_a and_o their_o judgement_n false_a and_o erroneous_a proceed_v from_o the_o malice_n and_o hatred_n of_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n also_o that_o which_o they_o have_v use_v for_o a_o reason_n we_o have_v show_v that_o it_o be_v likewise_o false_a for_o christ_n be_v so_o far_o from_o break_v the_o sabaoth_n or_o any_o part_n of_o the_o law_n that_o he_o do_v in_o full_a perfection_n fulfil_v the_o whole_a law_n of_o god_n now_o follow_v the_o opinion_n of_o the_o second_o sort_n of_o pharisee_n which_o say_v how_o can_v a_o man_n that_o be_v a_o sinner_n do_v such_o miracle_n as_o if_o the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v say_v if_o our_o saviour_n christ_n be_v such_o a_o profaner_n and_o breaker_n of_o the_o saboth_n as_o you_o surmise_v he_o to_o be_v than_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o he_o to_o do_v such_o strange_a and_o wonderful_a miracle_n as_o we_o see_v he_o have_v wrought_v of_o this_o we_o have_v speak_v before_o &_o shall_v speak_v more_o hereafter_o when_o we_o have_v speak_v general_o of_o miracle_n of_o the_o work_n of_o they_o &_o therefore_o of_o the_o power_n of_o god_n in_o work_v they_o &_o also_o of_o the_o power_n of_o angel_n of_o satan_n &_o of_o man_n therein_o whereas_o it_o be_v say_v how_o can_v a_o man_n that_o be_v a_o sinner_n do_v such_o miracle_n these_o man_n do_v insinuate_v that_o sinner_n can_v do_v some_o wonderful_a miracle_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o man_n but_o to_o do_v such_o a_o miracle_n as_o to_o cure_v a_o man_n be_v blind_a from_o his_o birth_n be_v impossible_a for_o they_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o any_o sinner_n shall_v do_v this_o or_o any_o such_o miracle_n which_o christ_n do_v we_o be_v therefore_o to_o show_v first_o what_o a_o miracle_n be_v that_o every_o one_o understand_v the_o nature_n thereof_o may_v make_v such_o proper_a and_o peculiar_a use_n of_o the_o same_o as_o he_o ought_v a_o miracle_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o rare_a work_n apparent_o wrought_v by_o the_o sole_a omnipotent_a power_n of_o god_n clean_a contrary_n to_o the_o order_n and_o instinct_n of_o nature_n far_o above_o

first_o to_o know_v y_o ●_o it_o be_v a_o work_n for_o indeed_o it_o must_v be_v in_o itself_o a_o true_a work_n deed_n or_o fact_n otherwise_o it_o can_v in_o itself_o and_o of_o itself_o make_v man_n to_o muse_n and_o marvel_n at_o it_o at_o least_o it_o can_v make_v wise_a man_n to_o marvel_v at_o it_o if_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o miracle_n it_o must_v be_v a_o sensible_a work_n not_o a_o

only_o in_o illusion_n of_o the_o sense_n it_o be_v no_o miracle_n it_o be_v then_o true_a that_o the_o illusion_n of_o satan_n be_v no_o miracle_n for_o he_o do_v nothing_o but_o delude_v the_o sense_n of_o man_n neither_o be_v it_o the_o celerity_n or_o agility_n of_o man_n hand_n which_o be_v miracle_n as_o of_o juggler_n which_o deceive_v the_o people_n by_o a_o activity_n in_o continue_v the_o thing_n which_o they_o do_v for_o they_o do_v not_o any_o true_a work_n but_o by_o their_o dexterity_n deceive_v man_n sense_n these_o therefore_o be_v no_o miracle_n for_o every_o miracle_n must_v be_v a_o true_a work_n and_o fact_n indeed_o i_o therefore_o first_o call_v a_o miracle_n a_o work_n to_o separate_v it_o from_o those_o that_o seem_v to_o be_v miracle_n and_o yet_o be_v not_o as_o be_v the_o work_n of_o satan_n and_o his_o member_n and_o also_o those_o that_o be_v do_v by_o agility_n of_o man_n which_o be_v work_n in_o show_n but_o not_o indeed_o this_o kind_n of_o miracle_n which_o be_v a_o true_a work_n have_v be_v wrought_v by_o diverse_a of_o god_n child_n as_o moses_n when_o he_o be_v send_v to_o deliver_v the_o people_n of_o israel_n out_o of_o egypt_n do_v work_v many_o miracle_n to_o testify_v that_o he_o be_v send_v of_o the_o lord_n he_o make_v frog_n not_o in_o appearance_n but_o indeed_o he_o turn_v the_o water_n of_o the_o river_n into_o blood_n not_o in_o appearance_n but_o in_o deed_n so_o also_o elias_n wrought_v miracle_n not_o in_o show_v but_o in_o deed_n so_o christ_n wrought_v miracle_n not_o in_o show_n but_o in_o deed_n for_o lazarus_n be_v dead_a indeed_o he_o raise_v he_o up_o again_o in_o deed_n when_o the_o wine_n want_v at_o the_o marriage_n he_o turn_v water_n in_o deed_n into_o wine_n in_o deed_n as_o pure_a

wonderful_a thing_n come_v to_o pass_v we_o must_v examine_v it_o whether_o it_o be_v a_o work_n in_o deed_n or_o only_o in_o appearance_n if_o it_o be_v not_o a_o work_n in_o deed_n as_o be_v the_o illusion_n of_o satan_n and_o of_o man_n which_o deceive_v the_o sense_n and_o do_v not_o bring_v any_o work_n to_o pass_v then_o be_v it_o not_o a_o true_a miracle_n for_o every_o true_a miracle_n which_o the_o lord_n have_v wrought_v himself_o or_o any_o of_o the_o prophet_n or_o our_o saviour_n christ_n have_v be_v true_a work_n second_o i_o call_v it_o a_o rare_a work_n of_o god_n for_o of_o the_o work_n of_o god_n there_o be_v some_o which_o be_v usual_a common_a &_o ordinary_a as_o the_o preservation_n of_o mankind_n be_v a_o ordinary_a and_o usual_a work_n of_o god_n and_o it_o be_v true_o say_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o we_o live_v move_v and_o have_v our_o be_v in_o the_o lord_n yet_o because_o this_o be_v usual_a ordinary_a and_o common_a yea_o daily_a and_o hourly_o for_o the_o lord_n do_v ordinary_o every_o day_n and_o hour_n preserve_v man_n otherwise_o they_o can_v not_o live_v i_o say_v because_o it_o be_v ordinary_a daily_a and_o hourly_o we_o can_v proper_o call_v it_o a_o miracle_n for_o it_o do_v make_v man_n to_o marvel_n to_o muse_v to_o be_v amaze_v and_o astonish_v at_o it_o see_v it_o be_v so_o usual_a and_o ordinary_a among_o they_o for_o it_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o miracle_n to_o make_v man_n muse_v and_o marvel_n at_o they_o and_o therefore_o when_o as_o in_o the_o evangelist_n any_o miracle_n which_o our_o saviour_n christ_n wrought_v be_v set_v down_o there_o also_o immediate_o follow_v that_o the_o people_n be_v astonish_v therefore_o that_o which_o be_v usual_a and_o common_a can_v proper_o be_v call_v a_o miracle_n a_o
