Matthew27:54

Verse 54. Truly this was the Sonne of God] i.e. A divine [non-Latin text not transcribed] fine [illegible: 1 word], id est [illegible: 2 words]. [illegible: 1 word]. in loc. man, a de my-god, as these Heathens reputed those in whom they beheld and admired any thing above the ordinary nature of [illegible: 1 word], and their expectation. Naturall conscience cannot but stoop and do homage to the image of God stamped upon his people; as being afraid of that name of God whereby they are called, Deut. 28. 10. There are that think that these souldiers, our Saviours executioners, were truly converted by the miracles they [illegible: 1 word] seen, according to what Christ had prayd for them, Luk. 23. 34. And it may very well be: like as Paul was converted upon [illegible: 1 word] Stevens prayer; as Justine Martyr and others were, by behold. Iustin. [non-Latin text not transcribed]. ing the piety and patience of the Primitive Christians, and as James Silvester [illegible: 1 word] at the Martyrdome of Simon Lalot at [illegible: 1 word]. He seeing the great faith and constancy of that heavenly Martyr, was so compuncted with repentance (saith Mr Fox,) and fell into such despair of himself, that they had much ado Act. [illegible: 1 word] Mon. fol. 829. to fasten any comfort on him, wich all the promises of the Gospell: till at length he recovered, repented, and with all his family, removed to the Church of Genova: Christians have shewed as glorious power (and have as good successe) in the faith of Martyrdome, as in the faith of miracles; working wonders thereby, upon those that have sought and suckt their blood.
