Chap. VII.

The widowes sonne he reviveth and restoreth to her, and is renowned thereupon. 18. To Johns messengers he answereth with miracles, leaving to John to preach thereby unto them that he is Christ. 24. And afterward he declareth how worthy credit was Johns testimonie, 29. inveighing against the Pharisees, 31. who with neither of their manners of living could be wonne, 36. shewing also unto them by occasion of Marie Magdalen, how he is a freind to sinners, not to maintaine them in sinne, but to forgive them their sinnes upon their faith and penance.
