Christ is wonderful in the Miracles that he wrought here in the World while he lived; in the second of Acts, vers. 22. Ye men of Israel hear these words, Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by Miracles, Wonders, and Signs which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye your selves also know. Never did any come into the Wo•ld to work such great Miracles and Wonders as Christ did, and indeed all that ever did Miracles and Wonders, they did do them by Jesus Christ. Josephus that was no great friend to Christ, he was a Jew, and did not acknowledge Christ to be the Messiah, yet he writing the Story of those times, could not but take notice of such an one as Christ; he did profess, that at such a time there was a ⟨p. 103⟩Wise man did arise, which they did call by the Name of Jesus, that did work a great many Miracles; and saith he,1 If it be lawful to call him a Man. He was afraid to call him a man, because of the wondrous things that he did.
