And when he proveth it, because God doth a miracle more in one place then in an other, I answer, if God 1will do a miracle, it requireth a place to be done in. Howbeit he doth it not for the place but for the peoples sakes whom he would call unto the knowledge of his name, and not to worship him more in one place then in an other.
And when he proueth it, because God doth a miracle more in one place then in an other, I aunswere, if God 1will do a miracle, it requireth a place to be done in. Howbeit he doth it not for the place but for the peoples sakes whom he would call vnto the knowledge of his name, and not to worshippe hym more in one place then in an other.
- 1Miracles were not done for ye place but for the people.
As the miracles done in Egypt, in the red sea, in mount Sinai & so forth, were not done that men should go in pilgrimage unto the places to pray there, but to provoke them unto the true knowledge of god, that afterward they might ever pray in the sprite, wheresoever they were. Christ also did not his miracles that men should pray in the places where he did them, but to stir up the people to come and hear the word of their souls health. And when he bringeth the miracle of Silo, 1I answer, that the said miracle, and that Christ sent the blind thither to receive his sight, were not done that men should pray in the pool: but the second miracle was so done to declare the obedient faith of the blind, and to make the miracle more known, and the first for the word of God that was preached in the temple, to move the 2country about to come thither and learn to know God, and to become a lively temple, out of which they might ever pray, and in all places. Neither was the miracle of Lazarus done, that men should more pray in that place then in an other, but to show Christs power, & to move the people through wondering at the miracle to hearken unto Gods word and believe it, as it is to see plainly.
