diversity_n of_o miraculous_a operation_n be_v but_o the_o outward_a counter_a point_n and_o therefore_o herein_o we_o may_v understand_v the_o supernatural_a excellency_n of_o grace_n and_o

the_o whole_a context_n seem_v even_o at_o the_o first_o sight_n to_o give_v high_a countenance_n and_o favour_n hereunto_o for_o it_o express_o affirm_v no_o prophecy_n of_o scripture_n not_o of_o

shall_v be_v your_o judge_n as_o in_o a_o conneel_n the_o miraculous_a efficacy_n be_v also_o of_o great_a disposition_n and_o free_a distribution_n according_o we_o may_v suppose_v the_o 144000_o
