4_o the_o praise_n of_o this_o heathen_a man_n faith_n ¶_o of_o the_o first_o because_o the_o euangelical_n story_n contain_v many_o of_o christ_n miracle_n wherewith_o he_o manife_v his_o glory_n

while_o he_o woork_v by_o his_o only_a power_n without_o his_o word_n as_o when_o he_o turn_v the_o water_n intoo_o wine_n too_o the_o manner_n also_o perteyn_v the_o faith_n of_o he_o that_o be_v heal_v by_o the_o miracle_n as_o be_v read_v in_o this_o gospel_n miracle_n serve_v too_o three_o use_n that_o he_o that_o be_v heal_v by_o miracle_n shall_v sin_v no_o more_o that_o the_o beholder_n shall_v put_v their_o trust_n in_o the_o healer_n and_o that_o we_o which_o read_v of_o the_o miracle_n of_o the_o lord_n shall_v be_v confirm_v in_o the_o glory_n and_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n and_o therewithal_o conceive_v faith_n in_o he_o that_o he_o be_v none_o otherwise_o affect_v towards_o we_o than_o he_o be_v towards_o they_o but_o why_o be_v no_o miracle_n wrought_v now_o a_o day_n he_o
