This reason appeareth wisdom, but it is very foolishness with God. For the miracle was not showed that thou should put thy trust in the Saint, but in the word which the saint preached, which word if thou believest, would save thee, as God hath promised and sworn, & would make thee also great with God, as it did the Saint.
The Saint was great wyth God when he was aliue, as it appeareth by the myracles which God shewed for him, he must therfore be great now say they. This rea•ō appeareth wisdome, but it is very folishnes wyth God. For the myracle was not shewed that thou should put thy trust in the Saint, but in the worde which the saint preached, which worde if thou beleuest, would saue thee, as God hath promysed and sworne, & would make thee also great wyth God, as it dyd ye Saint.
