attend_v the_o apostle_n in_o their_o ministry_n who_o be_v to_o set_v forth_o such_o a_o way_n to_o the_o world_n that_o be_v never_o before_o hear_v of_o neither_o can_v there_o be_v a_o more_o

therefore_o the_o father_n even_o the_o god_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n do_v so_o honour_v the_o way_n of_o the_o gospel_n with_o his_o son_n and_o such_o glorious_a miracle_n that_o be_v never_o act_v before_o since_o the_o world_n stand_v whereby_o he_o do_v manifest_v his_o probation_n of_o their_o way_n and_o thus_o i_o have_v show_v you_o some_o reason_n wherefore_o miracle_n be_v on_o

miracle_n be_v cease_v which_o be_v these_o first_o we_o have_v receive_v a_o sure_a word_n of_o prophecy_n to_o the_o which_o we_o do_v well_o if_o we_o take_v heed_n 2_o pet._n 1._o 19_o for_o a_o stand_a word_n as_o the_o gospel_n be_v be_v a_o more_o sure_a ground_n of_o faith_n than_o all_o the_o miracle_n in_o the_o world_n that_o our_o faith_n shall_v not_o be_v build_v upon_o man_n but_o upon_o the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o endure_v for_o ever_o 1_o pet._n 1._o 25._o for_o to_o ground_v our_o faith_n upon_o miracle_n be_v but_o a_o rotteu_n foundation_n because_o when_o miracle_n cease_v our_o faith_n must_v cease_v and_o so_o we_o stand_v at_o a_o great_a loss_n be_v build_v on_o so_o uncertain_a a_o ground_n but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o with_o the_o people_n of_o god_n who_o be_v build_v upon_o the_o rock_n and_o foundation_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n their_o way_n be_v undeniable_a and_o by_o the_o which_o way_n we_o must_v be_v judge_v at_o the_o last_o day_n second_o another_o reason_n be_v this_o miracle_n be_v to_o accompany_v apostolical_a man_n in_o those_o apostolical_a time_n to_o set_v forth_o a_o apostolical_a way_n to_o the_o world_n which_o they_o be_v to_o stand_v to_o be_v so_o glorious_o confirm_v with_o miracle_n by_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n as_o any_o way_n can_v be_v confirm_v so_o that_o now_o to_o look_v for_o miracle_n be_v vain_a except_o you_o look_v for_o a_o better_a way_n and_o better_a workman_n than_o the_o former_a be_v which_o to_o do_v be_v to_o raze_v the_o foundation_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n three_o because_o it_o can_v appear_v that_o after_o those_o apostolical_a time_n that_o miracle_n be_v on_o foot_n or_o that_o any_o after_o those_o time_n do_v work_v miracle_n neither_o timothy_n nor_o titus_n in_o their_o ordinary_a ministry_n nor_o any_o of_o the_o minister_n in_o the_o seven_o church_n of_o asia_n but_o be_v to_o look_v unto_o the_o form_n of_o sound_a doctrine_n which_o they_o have_v receive_v from_o the_o apostle_n as_o you_o may_v see_v 2_o tim._n 1._o 13._o which_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o christian_a doctrine_n and_o practice_n whereon_o the_o people_n of_o

apostle_n time_n there_o be_v no_o look_v for_o miracle_n for_o they_o know_v the_o gospel_n be_v as_o glorious_o confirm_v with_o miracle_n as_o be_v possible_a to_o be_v four_o if_o we_o look_v for_o miracle_n now_o what_o do_v we_o else_o but_o question_n the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o fly_v in_o the_o face_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n to_o condemn_v they_o of_o insufficiency_n as_o not_o be_v able_a to_o set_v forth_o such_o a_o way_n for_o all_o man_n to_o walk_v in_o which_o be_v sufficient_a to_o save_v they_o if_o they_o believe_v in_o it_o and_o also_o of_o force_n to_o condemn_v if_o they_o do_v reject_v it_o but_o this_o be_v clear_a where_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o christ_n shall_v come_v in_o flame_a fire_n to_o render_v vengeance_n against_o they_o that_o obey_v not_o the_o gospel_n 2_o thes_n 1_o 8._o five_o if_o we_o must_v have_v miracle_n now_o to_o believe_v then_o why_o not_o miracle_n also_o to_o confirm_v our_o belief_n

cease_v we_o cease_v to_o believe_v and_o so_o if_o there_o be_v no_o miracle_n there_o be_v no_o faith_n if_o no_o belief_n than_o no_o salvation_n six_o if_o we_o must_v build_v our_o faith_n upon_o

every_o year_n whereby_o he_o do_v persuade_v they_o that_o his_o way_n be_v right_a and_o all_o the_o way_n of_o other_o false_a because_o they_o have_v not_o miracle_n to_o confirm_v their_o way_n and_o therefore_o the_o pope_n by_o this_o may_v plead_v that_o he_o be_v right_a and_o other_o wrong_v and_o so_o we_o shall_v justify_v the_o generation_n of_o the_o wicked_a to_o confirm_v they_o in_o their_o wickedness_n and_o condemn_v the_o people_n of_o god_n because_o they_o have_v no_o miracle_n 9_o i_o may_v say_v to_o such_o as_o christ_n say_v to_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n under_o the_o law_n they_o have_v moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n if_o they_o will_v not_o believe_v they_o neither_o will_v they_o believe_v if_o one_o shall_v rise_v from_o the_o dead_a to_o work_v
