These things declared, there remaineth that by apt distinctions we distribute miracles into his parts. Some of them are to be wondered at,1 by reason of the thing it self which is done, for that it is so unaccustomed and great, that in the nature of things, we cannot find the like of it. Such was the staying of the Sun in the time of Joshua, and the turning of that shadow in the time of Hezekiah, the conception and birth of the Virgin, the food of Manna in the desert, and such like. But there are some which are miracles, not for the nature and greatness of the thing, but because of the manner and way which was used in bringing them to pass, as was the cloud and rain of Elijah, the budding of flowers and fruits in the rod of Aaron, the thunders of Samuel, the turning of water into wine, and such like: For such things are done by nature, but they were then miracles, because of the manner whereby they were wrought, that is, not by natural causes, but at the commandment and will of Saints.
These thynges declared, there remayneth that by apt distinctions we destribute miracles into his partes. Some of them are to be wondred at,1 by reason of the thing it selfe which is done, for that it is so vnaccustomed and great, that in the nature of thinges, we cannot finde the lyke of it. Suche was the staying of the Sunne in the time of Iosua, and the turning of that shadowe in the tyme of Ezechias, the conception and byrth of the Virgin, the foode of Manna in the deserte, and suche lyke. But there are some which ar miracles, not for the nature and greatnes of the thing, but bycause of the maner and waye whiche was vsed in bringing them to passe, as was the cloude and rayne of Helias, the budding of floures and fruites in the rod of Aaron, the thunders of Samuel, the turnynge of water into wyne, and suche lyke: For suche thinges are done by nature, but they were then myracles, bycause of the maner whereby they were wrought, that is, not by naturall causes, but at the commaundement and wyll of Sayntes.
