Howe could he know the certainty of the calling of the Gentiles, the denying of Peter, and of many other things, partly come to pass already, partly to be accomplished hereafter? And if he uttered any one untruth in any of all these, condemn him for a liar: But if experience & approved evidence of the orderly successes & events thereof, have openly denounced his words to be true, what should stay and hinder you from the trueth? For to speak nothing of his miraculous works, tell us yet, if you did ever ⟨image 97⟩hear of the like,1 or if any skill, policy, or industry of man might possibly reach unto the like. But if this so great and incredible power did so far surmount all ability of mans strength and capacity: hereof may you sufficiently gather, how you ought to judge of the inestimable power of his Divine nature.
