II. Christ in his power and grace, casting the devil out of a child, <a class="bibleref" title="Matt.17.14-Matt.17.21" href="/passage/?search=Matt.17.14-Matt.17.21">Matt. 17:14-21</a>. And, III. Christ in his poverty and great humiliation, 1. Foretelling his own sufferings, <a class="bibleref" title="Matt.17.22,Matt.17.23" href="/passage/?search=Matt.17.22,Matt.17.23"><span class="bibleref" title="Matt.17.22">Matt. 17:22</span>, <span class="bibleref" title="Matt.17.23">23</span></a>. 2.

Thus were the several indications of Christ’s gracious intentions admirable interwoven.</p>
