In-Text as the very Oracles of God. That very Iailour who was yesterday putting their Feet into the Stocks, and thrusting them into the inner Prison, (v. 24.) is now awak'd by their Musick, and stands affrighted at their Liberty, and is ready to kill himself with his Sword, for fear of dying by their Escape; when, being hinder'd by his Pris'ners from offering violence to Himself, he even springs into their Presence with fear and trembling, and (by Faith coupl'd with Fear) falls down prostrate at their Feet with this short Inquiry, (an Inquiry very plain, but yet sufficiently mysterious, and as copious in the sense, as it is short in the letter, ) What must I do, that I may be saved? Which is as if he should have said, (that I may paraphrase his words,) Seeing I cannot but acknowledge, that the Doctrin you Teach is the Truth of God, and the Truth of That God who now hath testified it by Miracle, in shaking my Prison by its Foundations, in compelling its Doors to do you Reverence, as the very Oracles of God. That very Jailor who was yesterday putting their Feet into the Stocks, and thrusting them into the inner Prison, (v. 24.) is now awaked by their Music, and Stands affrighted At their Liberty, and is ready to kill himself with his Sword, for Fear of dying by their Escape; when, being hindered by his Prisoners from offering violence to Himself, he even springs into their Presence with Fear and trembling, and (by Faith coupled with fear) falls down prostrate At their Feet with this short Inquiry, (an Inquiry very plain, but yet sufficiently mysterious, and as copious in the sense, as it is short in the Letter,) What must I do, that I may be saved? Which is as if he should have said, (that I may Paraphrase his words,) Seeing I cannot but acknowledge, that the Doctrine you Teach is the Truth of God, and the Truth of That God who now hath testified it by Miracle, in shaking my Prison by its Foundations, in compelling its Doors to do you reverence, c-acp dt j n2 pp-f np1. cst j n1 r-crq vbds av-an vvg po32 n2 p-acp dt n2, cc vvg pno32 p-acp dt j n1, (n1 crd) vbz av vvn p-acp po32 n1, cc vvz j-vvn p-acp po32 n1, cc vbz j p-acp vvb px31 p-acp po31 n1, p-acp n1 pp-f vvg p-acp po32 vvi; c-crq, vbg vvn p-acp po31 n2 p-acp vvg n1 p-acp px31, pns31 av n2 p-acp po32 n1 p-acp vvb cc vvg, cc (p-acp n1 vvn p-acp n1) vvz p-acp j p-acp po32 n2 p-acp d j n1, (dt n1 j j, p-acp av av-j j, cc c-acp j p-acp dt n1, c-acp pn31 vbz j p-acp dt n1,) q-crq vmb pns11 vdi, cst pns11 vmb vbi vvn? r-crq vbz p-acp cs pns31 vmd vhi vvn, (d pns11 vmb n1 po31 n2,) vvg pns11 vmbx p-acp vvi, cst dt n1 pn22 vvb vbz dt n1 pp-f np1, cc dt n1 pp-f cst np1 r-crq av vhz vvn pn31 p-acp n1, p-acp vvg po11 n1 p-acp po31 n2, p-acp vvg po31 n2 pc-acp vdi pn22 n1,
