Now for the Manifestation of this to be a true miracle, these circumstances may be alleged: First, that the water was troubled, and so not so fit for cure, as clear water. Secondly, that this was wrought by an Angel coming down from Heaven; which shows it to be a divine work. 3. That the cure was restrained only to that time; which shows, it was not natural, seeing nether before, nor after, it could work the like effect. 4. that none but the first could be cured. 5. that all diseases, whatsoever they were, were here cured. All which show it to be a true miracle, and also a great miracle, and also a great miracle, the like whereof we do not read recorded, and it is wonder that there is no where mention made of it but only in this place. By it we may consider of the goodness of God toward his people the Jews; who were now without a Prophet, and so had continued a great while before the coming of Christ, to the end, that their minds might be the more raised up to look unto Christ. God therefore for a token, and evidence of his presence among them, that he was yet their God, and that he had not rejected them, giveth unto them this extraordinary miracle, and that in the City of Jerusalem, that all might the better take notice of it. 2. God wrought this great ⟨p. 12⟩work for a confirmation of the true worship of him.
