Blindness, as far as one may guess by the Evangelical History, was the Distemper that _Jesus_ frequently exercis'd his Power on: And there is no doubt to be made, but he heal'd many of one Weakness, Defect and Imperfection, or other in their Eyes, but whether he wrought any Miracle upon any he is supposed to have cured, is uncertain. There are, as it's notorious, many kinds of Blindness, that are incurable by Art or Nature: and there are other kinds of it, that Nature and Art will relieve a Man in. But whether _Jesus_ used his healing Power against the former, as well as the latter sort of Blindness, is more than can be affirm'd, or at least proved by our _Divines_. And unless we knew of a certainty, that the sore or blind Eyes, _Jesus_ cured, were absolutely out of the reach of Art and Nature; _Infidels_ will imagine, and suggest, that he was only Master of a good Ointment for sore Eyes, and being successful in the use of it, ignorant People would needs think, he wrought Miracles. The World is often bless'd with excellent _Oculists_, who thro' Study and Practice have attain'd to wonderful Skill in Eye-Maladies, which, tho' they are of various sorts, yet, by Custom of Speech all pass under the general Name of _Blindness_. And sometimes we hear of famous _Chance-Doctors_, like _Jesus_, who by a Gift of God, Nature, or Fortune, without any Skill in the Structure of the Eyes, have been very successful in the Cure of one Distemper or other incident to them: Such was Sir _William Read_, who, tho' no Scholar, nor of acquir'd Abilities in _Physick_ and _Surgery_, yet cured his Thousands of sore or blind Eyes; and many of them too to the surprise and astonishment of profess'd _Surgeons_ and _Physicians_. Whether He, or _Jesus_, cured the greater number of Blindness may be question'd. To please our _Divines_, it shall be granted that _Jesus_ cured the greater Numbers; but that he cured worse or more difficult Distempers in the Eyes, can't be proved. Sir _William_ indeed met with many Cases of blind and sore Eyes, that were out of the reach of his Power; and so did _Jesus_ too, or he had never let great Multitudes of the blind, and otherwise distemper'd People, go unheal'd by him. Our _Divines_ will here say, that it was never want of Power in _Jesus_, but want of Faith in the diseased, if he did not heal them; but in other _Surgeons_ and _Physicians_, it is confessedly their own Insufficiency: To which I have only this Answer, that our _Physicians_ and _Surgeons_ are to be commended for their Ingenuity, to impute it to their own Defect of Power, and not to lay the Blame upon their Patients, when they can't cure them: And it is luckly for us Christians, that we have _this Salvo_ for the Credit of _Jesus_'s miraculously healing Power, that it was not fit, he should exert it against Unbelief; otherwise reasonably speaking, He with Sir _William Read_, _Greatrex_, _Vespasian_, our former _Kings_ of _England_, and
