1Finally, we may consider the testimony given to his doctrine to prove it to be without all mixture of error. And this testimony standeth of 4. branches: 1. His immediate calling: 2. His immediate instruction & information. 3. The visible donation of the holy Ghost, which was not only given to himself, but he also conferred it, by imposition of hands to others. 4. His working of Miracles,2 for so he saith of himself, The signs of an Apostle were wrought among you, with all patience, with wonders, and great works: he raised a man from the dead. Neither could the miracles wrought by him be small, when Handkerchiefs were brought from his body to the sick, and their diseases departed from them;3 yea, Devils went out of them.
