And in the old Testament Elisha ¹healed Naaman the heathen man in the water of Jordan, not to put trust in the water or to pray in that place, but to wonder at the power of God & to come & believe as he also did. And that his bones, when he was dead, raised up a dead man, was not done that men should pray to him: for y• was not lawful the, by their own doctrine, neither to put their trust in his bones. For ²God to avoid all such Idolatry, had polluted all dead bones, so that whosoever touched a dead bone, was unclean and all that came in his company, until he had washed him self: in so much that if a place were abused with offering unto Idols, there was no better remedy then to scatter dead bones there, to drive the people thence, for being defiled and polluted. But his boves did that miracle, to testify that ⟨p. 282⟩he was a true Prophet & to move men unto the faith of his doctrine.
