to_o act_v beyond_o above_o or_o contrary_n to_o nature_n there_o be_v no_o doubt_n by_o his_o aid_n the_o magician_n of_o egypt_n do_v many_o curious_a thing_n yet_o not_o real_a miracle_n in_o this_o case_n that_o we_o may_v make_v a_o right_a judgement_n we_o have_v some_o necessary_a rule_n first_o the_o first_o thing_n that_o ought_v to_o be_v consider_v in_o order_n of_o try_v or_o judge_v of_o a_o miracle_n be_v the_o power_n whereby_o it_o be_v wrought_v in_o whatsoever_o be_v real_a digitus_fw-la dei_fw-la discernitur_fw-la we_o may_v discover_v the_o finger_n or_o power_n

the_o pretend_a be_v ever_o do_v to_o deceive_v and_o mislead_v or_o in_o hope_n of_o worldly_a applause_n and_o profit_n but_o the_o end_n and_o purpose_n of_o real_a miracle_n be_v to_o advance_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n to_o honour_v the_o name_n and_o power_n of_o jesus_n christ_n to_o confirm_v the_o faith_n to_o defend_v and_o relieve_v the_o church_n of_o christ_n in_o general_n or_o
