[Vers. 26] VERS. 26. And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.

[Quest.] Why did Christ prohibite this miracle to be divulged, as is plain he did? Marke 5.43. Luke 8.56.

[Answ. 1] First he did it, lest he should seeme desirous of vaine glory, Muscul. s. Or,

[Answ. 2] Secondly, he did it, lest it should either pro∣voke the Pharisees, or excite the people to con∣ferre some vaine worldly honours upon him; as elsewhere they did, when they would have made him a King, Musc. s.

[Answ. 3] Thirdly, this prohibition was but temporary, (Gualt. & Calvin. s.) that is, they were for a time enjoyned to conceale it, and afterwards to pub∣lish it. Or,

[Answ. 4] Fourthly, this prohibition was given only to the Parents, lest they should be proud of their daughter, who was raised unto life, Gualt. s. Or,

Fifthly, our Saviour did rather forbid them to [Answ. 5] divulge the manner of her raising, then the thing it selfe, Calvin. s. Or,

Sixthly, some thought (tesie Calv.) that our Savi∣our [Answ. 6] forbad them, that thereby they might be the more carefull in the publishing of it: because Ni∣timur in vetitum. But this I would have none to be∣leeve.

Seventhly, Christ prohibits the publication [Answ. 7] hereof, that the power of God might the more appear in the spreading it abroad.
