The other is—that miracles are [...?] at hand, on those occasions when called for, and most [...?]. Indignation hard words and evading language supplied the place of miracles. The more wicked the [...?] i.e. the company present—the greater the need of miracles: the harder their hearts, the greater the need of [...?]: yet in this very alledged wickedness as there was found a reason and that a conclusive one for refusing to bestow upon them their desire with any the smallest miracle.

    Proofs & Disproofs

    §. Miracles

    The history is in a manner finished[?]: For in the course and context of it, all that relates to parables and miracles form but as it were one episode.

    In those days and in that country miracles were to every man whether in the character of statesman or physician [...?] to the exercise of any extraordinary influence in the public mind of the multitude. Miracles were as it were a part of his stock in trade. As at one time in Greece and Rome so even down to that time in Judea, in the opinions of all but the distinguished few miracles formed part of the ordinary course of nature: scarcely was there any thing miraculous in a miracle. Miracles were wrought not only in virtue of commission or power from the true God, but without any such power and even in opposition to it. Devils were the [...?] sworn and associated[?] enemies of God, yet to such a degree did they swear that in no small degree did the population of the country appear to be composed of them. In the [...?] of one hapless individual no fewer were eight found to be quartered at a time. So in a variety of dreams real or pretended so many cases as were performed or supposed to be performed, whether by nature or by art, so many miracles were declared and trumpeted.

    In such a state of things to a person engaged in an enterprize of that sort it was evident these could not be any such incident is a miraculous one.

    §. Presumption to penetrate mysteries

    (5) (2)

    That in respect of the fulfilment of the conditions laid down by the above aphorism there lies in the part of every one of those discourses which by believers are brough to viewfuller2013-08-15T10:42:00 in the character of grounds of the religion of Jesus and of the faith or belief which they profess therein, a great not to say a total deficiency has place in a proposition to which—at any rate after what in that subject will presently be brought to view—it is not expected that any denial will by any person by opposed.

    But by that sense of that deficiency, and of the argument in disproof of the system of that belief which it affords—under that sense which has been so general and so acute, certain established forms of reply to the objection thus constituted have been devised employed and used.

    1. One is that the considerations by which this inferiority was produced are a mystery: and that it is presumptuous, and on that account by absurd and sinful for man to take upon him to pry onto the mysteries of God.

    2. Another is—that from these deficiencies the just conclusion is that the narratives in question were in the main correct and compleat, correct and compleat in a sufficient degree for the guidance of fact and practice—not that they were in respect of that practical and sole exclusively intricatly important quality untrustworthy: but that they were and in a superior degree trustworthy: for that to have marked them with those extreme marks of authenticity and thence of verity would have required the ministry of persons high in office, rank, or knowledge or all three; but the greater and higher portion possessed of those endorsements possessed by a man, the stronger and more reasonable would be the ground for suspicion, the ground for suspicion thus [...?] had been employed in giving to spurious documents the appearance of genuine ones— to false narratives the appearance of true ones.
