But we in this sort answer to them which do thus excuse their infidelity,1 namely that the miracles of Christ & the Apostles which were done once, ought also to suffice us: for for our sakes were they put in writing, that we reading them, might receive fruit by them, being assured that they were ministered, not only to them which lived at that time, but also unto us.

So might it be answered to the Hebrews, of whom we now entreat: what though ye have not seen the miracles which were done in the time of your Fathers? Have not Moses and Joshua faithfully written all those things which God hath done for your nations sake? Yea, and your Fathers which were present and saw them, have truly declared them unto you, when ye were yet little ones. The scripture therefore doth not so speak at this present, to excuse that new generation. But to declare what pretence they made, when they departed from the worshipping of the God of their Fathers, and what occasion they took, and also to set forth that they were of a corrupt and naughty nature, which when their good Masters and Magistrates were dead, became unmindful of all true godliness. For it is very likely, that they as they were impudent so also openly they boasted abroad those or such like words. We are in doubt neither do we easily believe that the Lord did so many miracles as our Fathers have both written and also showed us. Who can tell whether they were so or no? we undoubtedly know not whether the Lord or any other God hath for our salvation sake caused such or so great things to be done. And so they leaving faith and forsaking the true God did evil in the sight of the Lord.
