but_o we_o ought_v to_o take_v heed_n that_o we_o be_v not_o too_o credulous_a i_o have_v late_o read_v the_o relation_n of_o a_o english_a traveller_n who_o have_v be_v upon_o that_o place_n and_o

they_o know_v a_o long_a time_n to_o preserve_v they_o either_o entire_a or_o in_o piece_n according_o as_o time_n do_v dismember_v and_o run_v they_o into_o ruin_n and_o to_o carry_v they_o from_o place_n to_o place_n of_o such_o piece_n be_v the_o foresay_a miracle_n compose_v for_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o that_o country_n who_o make_v provision_n for_o they_o and_o with_o great_a care_n do_v

the_o great_a amazement_n of_o those_o who_o know_v not_o how_o they_o come_v thither_o nor_o how_o after_o that_o day_n they_o disappear_v but_o those_o who_o bring_v they_o the_o night_n before_o do_v carry_v they_o away_o the_o night_n follow_v and_o the_o opinion_n that_o this_o be_v do_v by_o miracle_n do_v draw_v thither_o a_o great_a multitude_n of_o stranger_n from_o whence_o great_a

with_o it_o a_o hundred_o question_n may_v arise_v from_o hence_o i_o have_v here_o to_o produce_v on_o only_a consideration_n royalty_n may_v be_v descend_v to_o the_o woman_n and_o there_o be_v

this_o gift_n be_v not_o fasten_v to_o the_o sceptre_n nor_o do_v accompany_v royalty_n if_o it_o be_v affirm_v i_o have_v one_o thing_n more_o to_o allege_v among_o all_o gift_n supernatural_a there_o be_v two_o which_o we_o read_v be_v never_o communicate_v to_o any_o woman_n which_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o language_n and_o the_o gift_n of_o miracle_n it_o be_v already_o a_o great_a paradox_n and_o unheard_a of_o in_o all_o the_o time_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o the_o primitive_a christian_a church_n that_o a_o woman_n ever_o have_v the_o gift_n of_o miracle_n moreover_o as_o the_o supernatural_a gift_n of_o language_n be_v never_o communicate_v to_o that_o sex_n because_o it_o be_v forbid_v they_o to_o speak_v in_o the_o church_n to_o which_o the_o gift_n of_o tongue_n do_v principal_o serve_v so_o for_o the_o same_o cause_n god_n have_v not_o be_v please_v that_o any_o woman_n shall_v have_v the_o gift_n of_o miracle_n in_o that_o very_a time_n when_o they_o be_v both_o necessary_a and_o frequent_a for_o as_o miracle_n do_v tend_v to_o confirm_v the_o doctrine_n which_o be_v preach_v so_o be_v they_o not_o wrought_v but_o by_o those_o man_n who_o have_v a_o charge_n to_o preach_v it_o which_o be_v forbid_v unto_o woman_n of_o a_o advertisement_n which_o be_v put_v into_o the_o margin_n of_o some_o passage_n in_o the_o bible_n when_o the_o

unto_o but_o before_o we_o do_v forbid_v or_o restrain_v the_o search_n after_o a_o point_n we_o ought_v first_o to_o be_v assure_v that_o it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o scripture_n for_o this_o be_v not_o to_o be_v too_o curious_a to_o undertake_v to_o know_v that_o which_o god_n have_v be_v please_v to_o speak_v wherefore_o do_v god_n speak_v unto_o we_o if_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v understand_v nay_o when_o he_o speak_v obscure_o in_o some_o place_n it_o be_v to_o this_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v yet_o search_v more_o after_o it_o and_o not_o that_o we_o shall_v recoil_v from_o

be_v lover_n of_o knowledge_n of_o the_o dragon_n which_o be_v believe_v to_o be_v a_o fly_a serpent_n so_o he_o be_v paint_v nay_o and_o in_o some_o bible_n also_o and_o it_o be_v a_o common_a

the_o horse_n pegasus_n nay_o it_o contradict_v that_o which_o the_o naturalist_n have_v observe_v which_o be_v that_o there_o be_v no_o bird_n which_o be_v venomous_a for_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n have_v not_o be_v please_v to_o give_v wing_n to_o creature_n which_o be_v venomous_a and_o it_o be_v to_o prevent_v a_o infinite_a number_n of_o calamity_n which_o will_v come_v to_o pass_v if_o creature_n so_o dangerous_a can_v fly_v or_o move_v at_o random_n in_o the_o traverse_n of_o the_o air_n how_o many_o death_n not_o to_o be_v avoid_v will_v ensue_v hereby_o both_o to_o man_n and_o beast_n this_o fiction_n of_o fly_a serpent_n be_v tolerable_a but_o we_o ought_v by_o no_o mean_n to_o introduce_v it_o into_o the_o bible_n it_o be_v moreover_o observable_a that_o the_o scripture_n do_v give_v wing_n to_o the_o cherubin_n who_o represent_v angel_n but_o it_o never_o do_v attribute_v wing_n to_o the_o serpent_n which_o represent_v satan_n add_v to_o this_o that_o in_o the_o 12._o of_o the_o revelation_n the_o woman_n who_o flee_v before_o the_o dragon_n have_v wing_n give_v she_o to_o fly_v away_o but_o the_o dragon_n have_v no_o wing_n to_o fly_v after_o she_o and_o all_o that_o he_o can_v do_v be_v to_o send_v a_o vomit_n of_o water_n like_o a_o river_n from_o her_o gorge_n it_o be_v therefore_o a_o imagination_n in_o this_o passage_n to_o suppose_v a_o

of_o a_o woman_n i_o have_v already_o make_v mention_n of_o two_o learned_a man_n in_o this_o age_n who_o be_v of_o a_o contrary_a opinion_n in_o many_o thing_n which_o antiquity_n have_v dictate_v behold_v yet_o one_o point_n more_o of_o which_o they_o be_v in_o dispute_n some_o hold_n that_o this_o serpent_n which_o seduce_v eve_n have_v the_o face_n of_o a_o maid_n and_o so_o he_o have_v be_v

the_o imposture_n have_v be_v discover_v to_o this_o the_o other_o do_v answer_v in_o the_o contrary_a satan_n do_v take_v the_o face_n of_o a_o woman_n to_o be_v less_o suspect_v because_o it_o be_v not_o so_o strange_a that_o such_o a_o head_n shall_v speak_v as_o to_o hear_v a_o serpent_n speak_v and_o reason_n like_o a_o woman_n and_o that_o eve_n have_v no_o reason_n to_o wonder_v that_o a_o
