when_o he_o have_v see_v the_o miracle_n which_o he_o have_v do_v in_o heal_v of_o his_o son_n to_o these_o i_o may_v add_v that_o which_o saint_n paul_n say_v in_o the_o 14._o cap._n of_o the_o 1._o epist_n cor._n vers_fw-la 22._o where_o affirm_v the_o miraculous_a gift_n of_o language_n to_o be_v a_o sign_n unto_o those_o that_o believe_v not_o seem_v to_o insinuate_v the_o like_a end_n and_o effect_n of_o other_o miracle_n and_o experience_n do_v approve_v the_o same_o for_o since_o the_o time_n of_o constantine_n the_o great_a that_o the_o christian_a religion_n have_v be_v public_o profess_v and_o by_o godly_a emperor_n maintain_v the_o gift_n of_o miracle_n have_v cease_v many_o more_o proof_n may_v be_v allege_v to_o this_o purpose_n but_o because_o this_o matter_n have_v be_v handle_v before_o in_o a_o fit_a as_o i_o take_v it_o and_o a_o more_o convenient_a place_n i_o will_v therefore_o pass_v it_o over_o and_o return_v to_o the_o point_n which_o i_o have_v in_o hand_n against_o the_o which_o it_o may_v be_v object_v that_o tertullian_n in_o his_o book_n de_fw-fr idololatria_fw-la and_o de_fw-fr corona_n militis_fw-la seem_v to_o affirm_v that_o merchant_n and_o

their_o outward_a vocation_n seem_v to_o be_v mere_a laic_a as_o they_o term_v it_o yet_o be_v they_o inward_o and_o extraordinary_o call_v of_o god_n to_o the_o work_n of_o miracle_n to_o the_o which_o no_o doubt_n be_v join_v the_o preachin_n of_o the_o gospel_n either_o by_o themselves_o or_o else_o some_o other_o of_o the_o clergy_n so_o saint_n paul_n albeit_o a_o most_o excellent_a apostle_n and_o preacher_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o tentmaker_n and_o wrought_v of_o the_o same_o trade_n for_o his_o live_n as_o it_o be_v set_v down_o in_o the_o 18._o cap._n of_o the_o act_n vers_fw-la 3._o so_o that_o a_o mechanical_a trade_n or_o any_o other_o honest_a and_o lawful_a profession_n of_o traffic_n in_o merchandise_n or_o warrefare_n do_v not_o exclude_v they_o altogether_o from_o be_v of_o the_o clergy_n but_o as_o for_o our_o cunning_a man_n as_o we_o term_v they_o what_o ecclesiastical_a function_n have_v they_o or_o how_o do_v their_o profession_n belong_v thereunto_o see_v that_o for_o ordinary_a calling_n we_o have_v none_o such_o in_o our_o church_n except_o as_o i_o say_v it_o be_v among_o the_o papist_n wherein_o how_o ridiculous_a they_o be_v who_o see_v not_o which_o be_v not_o wilful_o blind_v and_o that_o they_o have_v no_o such_o like_a extraordinary_a call_n it_o appear_v plain_o both_o by_o
