22. Rule.

In reading of the Evangelists, we should take notice, what things are speci∣fied by one Evangelist, what by two, what by three, and what by all the foure: For instance.

Some of Christs workes are specified onely by one Evangelist, as his turning of water into wine, as his healing the sick man at the poole of Bethesda, his healing that blind man, John 9.

Some of them are specified by two E∣vangelists, as the History of Christs birth by Matthew and Luke.

Some things are recorded by three of them, as the institution of the Sacrament of the Supper.

Some things by all foure, as Christs death and passion.

Onely two write the History of his birth, all foure the History of his death, pos∣sibly to teach us, that though all Christs workes, and actions are to be seriously minded, meditated upon, and remembred, yet none so espcially as his death and suf∣ferings.
