_Seventh-Sons_, must have pass'd but for a _Chance-Doctor_. But to come to the particular Consideration of the Miracle before us. _Jesus_ restored, it seems, a blind Man to his Eye-sight, by the use of a peculiar Ointment, and washing of his Eyes, as directed, in the Pool of _Siloam_. Where lies the Miracle? I can't see it; but hope our _Divines_ will take their opportunity to point it out to me. Our _Surgeons_, with their Ointments and Washings can cure sore and blind Eyes of one sort or other; and _Jesus_ did no more here; and yet he must be reckon'd a Worker of Miracles; and they but artificial Operators: where's the Sense and Reason of this difference between them? If Mr. _Moor_, the _Apothecary_, for the notable Cures he performs, by the means of his Medicines, should write himself, and be accounted by his Admirers, a _Miracle-worker_; he and they would be but laugh'd at for it: And yet _Jesus_ for his curing the sore Eyes of a poor Man with an Ointment, must be had in veneration for a divine and miraculous Operator, as much as if by the breath of his Mouth he had removed an huge Mountain! A Miracle, if I mistake not the Notion of our _Divines_ about it, is a supernatural Event, or a Work out of the Power of Nature or Art to effect. And when it is spoken of the Cure of a Disease, as of Blindness or Lameness, it ought to be so represented, as that skilful and experienced _Surgeons_ and _Physicians_, who can do strange and surprizing Cures by Art, may give it upon their judgment, that no Skill of Man could reach that Operation; but that it ought to pass for the Work of a divine and almighty Hand and Power. But there is no such care taken in the Description of any of the Diseases, which _Jesus_ cured; much less of this before us; against the miraculousness of which, consequently, there are these two Exceptions to be made:
