[ 20] IT is ordinarily in the mouthes of every one of you to object the Miraculous entrance of Christ into the house, the doores being shut; his coming out of the grave, when it was covered with a sto••e (as some thinke;) his Birth from his mother, her wombe being shut; besides the miraculous passing of a Camell through the eye of a needle, spoken of by Christ; all Miraculous indeed, as wee, with many holy* 1.1 Fathers, do willingly Confesse.
