CAP. IIII.

Howe a lame Iewe being baptized of Atticus Bishop of Constantinople recouered againe his lymmes.

EƲen as the aforesayde circumstance which fell out in the florishing dayes of Atticus was a great furtherance to the church of God: so likewise miracles with the gift of healing which raygned in those times turned to the glory of God and the profitt of his people. for a certayne* 1.1 Iewe being helde the space of many yeares with a paulsey was faine to keepe his bed, and hauing tried all the salues and medicens, all the practises and prayers of the Iewes, was not a iote the bet∣ter, at length he fled for refuge vnto the baptisme ministred in the Churche of Christ, perswading him selfe for suertie that by the meanes of this being the true phisicke of the soule, he might reco∣uer the former healthe of his bodye. Atticus was immediatly made priuey vnto this his deuoute minde and godly disposition: he instructed the Iewe in the principles and articles of Christian re∣ligion, he layd before him the hope that was to be had in Christ Iesu, he bidds that Iewe bed and all shoulde be brought vnto the font and place appoynted for the ministration of baptisme. This Iewe being grieuously taken w^t the paulsey was no sooner baptised in the faith of Christ and taken out of the font, but his disease left him, so that he recouered his former health. This gift of healing be∣ing* 1.2 wrought by the power of Christ preuayled in the worlde amonge the men of these our dayes. Many of the Gentils hearing the fame of this miraculous power receaued the faith and were ba∣ptized: but the Ievves for all they sought after signes and wonders, yet could they not with signes be brought to embrace the Christian faith.
