The Gofpel of the perfonal Types. iii In the fifth Chapter there be two more, the curing of Naaman's Leprofie, and the fmiting of Gehani with that Difeafe. In the fixth Chapter there be fix more. ( r. ) His caufing Iron to fwim. ( i. ) His difclofing the fecret Counfels of the King of Syria by the Spirit of Prophete. ( 3. ) An Army of Angels coming down from Heaven for his Defence at Dothan. ( 4. ) The opening of his Ser- vant's Eyes to fee them, (5. ) The fmiting of the Syrians with Blind- nefs. ( 6. ) The opening their Eyes again.
