of a Man is Food which cannot defile the Man but that which comes out of his Heart are evil thoughts adulteries false-witness and generally all Sins And these are the things which defile a Man and not to eat with unwashen Hands which is a mere outward and Ceremonial Rite V. Jesus frees a Damsel possessed with a Devil Matt. 15.21 -28. Mark 7.24 -30. Jesus departing thence went into the Coasts of Tyre and Sidon and entring into an House endeavoured to conceal himself but an Heathen Woman which the Gospel calls a Canaanite because she came out of Phenicia the Ancient Habitation of the Canaanites discovering where he was came to him crying out and saying O Lord thou Son of David have mercy on me my Daughter is grievously vexed with a Devil He answered not a Word but when his Disciples prayed him to free them from her troublesome Importunities and Cryes by granting her desires he answered them I am not sent but to the lost Sheep of the House of Israel i. e. the Jews But she was not at all discouraged at this denial but on the contrary as if she had been emboldened by it she goes to him throws her self down at his Feet and adoreth him saying Lord help me He saith to her Let the Children be first filled for it is not fit to take the Childrens Bread and cast it unto Dogs She replyed True Lord but yet the Dogs eat the Crumbs that fall from the Childrens Bread Then said he unto her O Woman great is thy Faith be it unto thee even as thou desirest Go thy way for this saying the Devil is gone out of thy Daughter Then the Woman went home and found her Daughter layd upon the Bed and perfectly freed from the Devil VI. Jesus Cures a Man Blind and Dumb. Jesus being returned Mark 7 31-37 Matt. 15 -29. came to a place near to the Lake where they brought to him a Man Blind and Dumb beseeching him to lay hand upon him And he took him aside from the Multitude and put his fingers in his ears and some of his spittle upon his Tongue Then lifting up his Eyes to Heaven he sighed and said unto him Ephatha which in the Syriack Language signifieth Be open and Loosed And immediately the Mans Ears were opened and his Tongue was unloosed so that he heard and spake plain Jesus forbad those who had been witnesses of this Miraculous Cure to speak of it to any Person but the more he Charged them the more they published it and in their astonishment said He hath done all things well he hath made the Deaf to hear and the Dumb to speak VII Jesus Feeds Four Thousand with Seven Loaves Then Jesus went up into a Mountain Matt. 16.32 -37. Mar. 8.1 -9. and great Multitudes of People came unto him bringing with them Persons sick of all manner of Distempers whom they laid at his Feet and he healed them all insomuch that they glorified God for the Wonders which they had seen and could not but follow him who confirmed the saving Doctrin which he had Taught with so many Miracles It seems that they had forgotten to bring Food with them which Jesus knowing said One day to his Disciples I have compassion on this People because they have been with me this three days already and have nothing to eat I will not send them away fasting for fear they faint by the way for some of them have come a great way His Disciples said unto him how can we provide Bread enough to satisfie so great a Multitude in this Desert place He asked them How many Loaves have ye They said unto him Seven and a few small Fishes He commanded all the People to sit down he Blessed and distributed to them the Seven Loaves and the Fishes and Fed Four Thousand Persons so fully that they filled Seven Baskets with the Fragments that remained VIII The Pharisees desire a Sign Jesus refuses to give them any Matt. 16.1 -12. Mark 8.10 -21. Luke 12.54 -57. As soon as Jesus had sent the Multitude away he entred into a Ship with his Disciples and went into the Countrey of Dalmanutha which lyes on the East-side of the Lake of Gennesareth between Gerasa and Chorazin upon the Coasts of Magdlaa Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came to tempt him and Disputing with him asked of him again to shew them some Prodigy in the Air. But instead of doing what they required of him who were so incredulous and self-conceited that they would not be convinced by so many Miracles as they had seen him do he reproved them because they could foretell whether it would be Cold or Hot by the different alterations of the Air as also whether it will Rain or be fair Weather but could not discern that which is Right nor acknowledge by so many visible Signs that the happy time of the Messiah's coming is now arrived Then sighing deeply in his Spirit he returned them the same answer which he had given to the like question This wicked and adulterous Generation seeketh after a Sign and Prodigy but there shall no Sign be given to it but the Sign of the Prophet Jonas Then he left them and sailed back again with his Disciples to whom in their passage he said Take heed and beware of the Leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees and of the Leaven of Herod The Apostles thought that he had spoken of Leaven because they had forgotten to take Bread along with them and had but one Loaf in the Ship whereupon he reproves them for their little Faith for their inconsiderateness upon all that he had done among them for the blindness of their heart which hindred them from understanding and profiting by all that he had done in their presence and Lastly for their forgetfulness of all that they had hard and seen He asked them How many Baskets full of the five Loaves with which he fed Five Thousand they took up and of the Seven Loaves wherewith he fed Four Thousand and Teaches them that instead of busying their minds as they did with the Bread that nourisheth the Body only and of providing for their Temporal Wants which he could provide for when and how he pleased they should particularly attend to the Heavenly Doctrins which he Taught under the Name and Vail of things Natural and so to conceive that the Leaven he speaks of is the corrupt Doctrin of the Pharisees and Sadducees IX Jesus heals a Blind Man at Bethsaida When they were come to Bethsaida they brought a blind Man to him and prayed him to touch him Mark 8.22 -26. And he took the blind Man by the Hand and leading him out of Town he anointed his Eyes with spittle and layd his Hands upon him and asked him if he saw any thing The blind Man answered him I see Men walking but they seem to me like Trees Jesus then put his Hands again upon his Eyes and the blind Man began to distinguish Objects better and

him and brought his Brother to him the next day But they did not at that time go along with him but returned again to their Employment of Fishing Not far from these there were two other Brothers named James and John who were vvith their Father Zebadee in a Ship mending their Nets These four Fishermen were of Bethsaida in a City of Galilee situated on the South-side of the Lake where Jesus first saw them He called all these Four to him and by his Spirit made them to forsake all and follow him But 't is probable that they were moved to it by a Miracle which Jesus then did which is related by St. Luke after this manner Jesus standing by the Lake of Gennesareth Lu. 5.1 -11. and being much crowded by the People who pressed upon him to hear the Word of God saw two Ships out of which the Fishermen were gone to wash their Nets He entred into one of them which was Simons and having caused him to thrust out a little from the Land he sat down and taught the People out of it When he had done speaking he said unto Simon Launch out into the Deep and let down your Nets to get some Fish Simon answered him Master we have Toiled all Night and have taken nothing yet at thy Word I will let down the Net Having cast the Net they took so great a number of Fish that their Net breaking they were forced to call their Companions who were in another Ship to come and help them They came and filled both their Ships so full that they could hardly get ashore without sinking Simon and his Companions being greatly amazed at this Miracle cast himself dovvn at Jesus's feet saying Lord depart from me for I am a sinful Man Jesus said unto him Be not afraid hereafter thou shalt be a Fisher of Men. It is plain that it was after this Miracle that Jesus said to Simon and Andrew Follow me And at the same time it is likely that John Mar. 1.16 ●0 and James were called who left their Father Zebedee in the Ship with his hired Servants and all four of them left their Nets and forsook all and became continual followers of Jesus III. He healed a Man possessed at Capernaum Matt. 4.13 -16. Mar. 1.21 -28. Lu. 4.14 15. Jesus having thus gotten four Disciples went and dwelt for some time at Capernaum a City of Galilee standing upon the Banks of Jordan just at the mouth where that River empties it self into the Lake of Gennesareth In this City he preached on the Sabbath days and was much admired for his Doctrin by all his Hearers for he spake with great Cogency and Authority On a certain Sabbath as he was instructing the People in the Synagogue there came a Man to him who was possessed with a Spirit of an unclean Devil and cryed out Let us alone what have we to do with thee tho● Jesus of Nazareth art thou come to destroy us I know thee who thou art the holy one God But Jesus rebuking the Devil said unto him Hold thy tongue and come out of the Man The Devil seeing himself forced to leave his Prey racked him with most violent Convulsions threw him down upon the ground and made him cry out with a loud Voice but at last left him safe and sound The Spectators of this Miracle were seized with very great amazement and said one to another What thing is this What new Doctrin is this surely it comes from Heaven since the Teacher of it hath such Power and Authority over the unclean Spirits i. e. the Devils that when he commands them they obey him going out of those that are possessed tho' against their Wills IV. Jesus Christ heals Peter's Wife's Mother and several other Sick Persons Matt. 8.14 15. Jesus departing out of the Synagogue went with the Two Sons of Zebadee to Andrew and Simon 's House where he found Peter's Mother-in-Law sick of a dangerous Fever Mar. 1 29-31 Luke 4.38 39. His Disciples besought him for her and he went to her Bed and took her by the Hand and lifting her up commanded the Fever to leave her And the Fever departed from her the same istant and her Disease was perfectly cured so that rising from her Bed she ministred unto them and provided them some Victuals to eat This with the Miracle which Jesus did in the Synagogue at Capernaum Matth. 8.16 17. Mark 1 32-34 Luke 4.40 41. being immediately known in the adjacent Towns and Villages as well as in the City it self after the Sun was set a great Multitude assembled to the House where he was for all that had any Persons Sick of any Distemper carried them to him and he healed them all by laying his Hands upon them He also cured many that were possessed with Devils by his Word and the Devils leaving them cryed out with a loud Voice Thou art the Son of God But he rebuked them and would not suffer them to discover that he was the Christ either because he would not receive any Commendations from the Mouth of unclean Spirits or thought it not convenient to have the Truth published by the Father of Lies or because he would shew the World that he had no Commerce with Devils foreseeing the Calumny that the Pharisees invented against him That he did not cast out Devils Matth. 12.24 but in the Name of the Prince of the Devils V. Jesus Christ's Progress through Galilee The next Day very early in the Morning Mark 1 35-39 Jesus went out alone and gat himself into a Solitary Place that he might make his Prayers to God Simon and they that were with him followed him and finding him said unto him All Men seek for thee being desirous of thy Company and Preaching He answered them Come then Let us go into the Neighbouring Villages and Towns and preach among them Luke 4 42-44 for this is the main Employment my Father sent me about But the People that sought after him coming to the Place where he was would have forced him to stay there with them but he said the same to them that he had done to his Disciples before I must preach the Gospel also to other Cities as well as unto you for therefore am I sent Matth. 4 23-25 Then went Jesus throughout all Galilee preaching in their Synagogues and healing all that were Sick Insomuch that his Fame being dispersed through all Syria they brought to him from all Quarters those that were possessed with Devils and such as were afflicted with divers Diseases so that he was continually followed by a great number of People Matth. 9 18-20 Jesus seeing himself thus thronged by the People gave order to his Disciples to go over to the other Side of the Lake of Gennesareth When a certain Scribe perceived that Jesus was about to leave them he came to him and said Master I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest Our Saviour answered him Foxes

his Disciples could not cure him This Child was a Lunatick and possessed with a Devil which made him Dumb and grievously tormented him for when it seized upon him it threw him down upon the Ground cast him often into the Fire or Water and racked him with such violent Convulsions that he cryeth out fomes gnashes with his Teeth and pineth away and much bruising him hardly departeth from him The Unbelief of the Jews who did not as yet firmly believe in Jesus Christ though they had seen so many Miracles was a greater and more dangerous Disease than this of the Lunatick and was often an Impediment to the Miracles which Jesus would have done For this Reason it is that he would cure that before he drive out the Devil and therefore smartly touched that Wound that the Men afflicted with it might feel it saying O faithless and perverse Generation how long shall I be with you to convince you how long shall I suffer your Infidelity will you never believe Bring him hither to me The Child no sooner saw him but the Devil began to tear him with fierce Convulsions and threw him down where he rowled foaming Jesus asked his Father How long it was since his Son began to be vexed after this manner His Father answered him From his Childhood and added If thou canst do any thing have Pity on us and help us Jesus saith unto him If thou canst believe all things are possible to him that believeth Immediately the Father of the Child cryed out with Tears Lord I believe help thou my Vnbelief i. e. supply all the Defects of my Faith to make it worthy to obtain a Cure for my Child Then Jesus rebuked the Devil saying to him Thou Dumb and Deaf Spirit I command thee to depart out of this Child and to enter no more into him Then the Spirit cryed out and much tore and rent the Child and left him almost dead but Jesus taking him by the Hand lifted him up and delivered him to his Father perfectly cured And all that were present beheld it with Admiration and were amazed at the mighty Power of God When Jesus was come into the House his Diciples asked Why they could not cast out this Devil He answered them Because of your Vnbelief adding Luke 17 6 That if they had but one Grain of Syncere and Sound Faith they might by their mere Word remove both Trees and Mountains And then he says further That this kind of Devil goeth not out but by Prayer and Fasting The Apostles did without doubt profit by these Instructions for S. Luke teacheth us elswhere That they addressed themselves to their Master Luke 17.5 and said Lord increase our Faith XIV Jesus foretels his Death and pays Tribute While the Multitude was in Admiration of the great things Matth. 17.22 27. Mark 9 30-32 Luke 9 43-45 that Jesus did in all Places where he went his Thoughts were mainly employed in fitting his Disciples for the Disgraces and Contempt of his Death He tells them a second Time of it and desires them to hearken with Attention to him and think seriously of these Words in their Hearts The Son of Man shall be delivered into the Hands of Men who shall put him to Death and he shall rise again the Third Day But they understood not that Saying and yet this Prediction which they could not fully comprehend made them very sorry and cast them into such a Consternation that they durst not ask him to explain it to them They went through Galilee and returned to Capernaum Here the Receivers of a certain Tribute of Two Drachma's i. e. Fifteen Pence an Head asked Peter whether his Master did not pay Tribute To whom the Apostle answered That he did As soon as he came into the House Jesus prevented him by asking him Whether the Kings of the Earth exact Tribute of their own Children or of Strangers Peter answers Of Strangers Then Jesus concludes That the Children are exempted leaving it to him to infer from thence That he being the Son of God was not obliged to pay Tribute to Men Nevertheless saith he that we may not offend them Go thou and cast an Hook into the Sea and take the Fish that shall be first catched and open his Mouth and thou shalt find a Piece of Mony of Four Drachma's or half a Crown 's Value which give to them for thy self and me XV. Jesus checks the Ambition of his Disciples Matth. 18 1-14 Mar. 9 23-50 Luke 9 46-50 About the same Time it came into the mind of the Disciples of Jesus Who of them should be greatest and they disputed about it in the Way to Capernaum Jesus knowing the Thoughts of their Hearts asked them when they came into the House What they disputed about in the Way but they durst not answer him But when he had called his Twelve Disciples to him they asked him in general Who is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven He answered them If any Man desire to be first he shall be the last of all and Servant of all And having called a little Child to him he took him and set him by him and taking him up in his Arms he said unto them Except ye become as little Children ye shall not enter into the Kingdom of God and that whosoever shall so humble himself that he makes himself small as the little Child before them he shall be the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven And then adds That who so shall receive one such little Child in his Name receiveth him and he that receiveth him received him that sent him Hereupon John the Son of Zebedee saith unto him Master we saw a Man casting out Devils in thy Name and we forbad him because he would not joyn himself and associate with us But Jesus reproved this Action and told him That this Man would not readily speak ill of him in whose Name he did Miracles and that they ought not to look upon him as their Enemy since he did not engage in any thing against them Jesus then turns his Discourse to these little ones i. e. to the humble to whom he would have them make themselves like and pronounces a Wo against those who should be an occasion of Falling or Scandal to them declaring That whosoever shall offend one of these little ones which believe in him and whose Angels continually behold the Face of God in Heaven it were better for him to be cast into the Depth of the Sea with a Milstone about his Neck He adds That the World is full of Offences which will necessarily happen but Wo unto him by whom they come That to avoid them we must lay before Men the Torments of Hell where the Worm that gnaws the damned never dies and the Fire that burns them is never quenched yea is so far from consuming them that on the contrary 't is like Salt to them which preserves them from consuming that they may be
