And thus have I, in this _Discourse_, taken into Examination three more of _Jesus_'s Miracles; which I submit to the Judgment of my Readers, whether the literal Story of them does not consist of Absurdities, Improbabilities and Incredibilities according to the Proposition before us; and whether there is not a necessity, for the Honour of _Jesus_, to turn them into prophetical and parabolical Narratives of what will be mysteriously and more wonderfully done by him. My next _Discourse_, if my mind hold, shall treat on the three Stories of _Jesus_'s raising of the dead, _viz._ of the Widow of _Naim_'s Son, of _Jairus_'s Daughter, and of _Lazarus_; after which I will give the literal History of Christ's Resurrection, that sandy Foundation of the Church, a Review; and so conclude my Discourses on the Miracles of our Saviour. To run thro' all the Miracles of _Jesus_, and handle them in the manner I have done the foregoing, would be a long and tedious Work. But if our _Divines_ shall think, I have selected only those Miracles, which are obnoxious to Cavil and Ridicule; and have omitted others, that literally are a more unexceptionable Testimony of _Jesus_'s divine Power, and Authority; I will, for their Satisfaction take more of them to Task, and give the Letter of their Stories, the like ludicrous treatment. If I mistake not, the Miracles already spoken to, together with those of _Jesus_'s raising of the dead, and of his own Resurrection, are the most famous and remarkable of any others: And according to the Observation I have made on the rest, they are no less but rather more liable to Ridicule and Exception. But if any are of a contrary Opinion, and will let me know, which in their Judgment are more unexceptionable Miracles, I will vouchsafe them an Examination. I am sure there is not one Miracle, which the Fathers of the Church did not turn into Allegory; and if we don't at this Day make mystical Operations of them, they will none of them according to the Letter, stand their Ground, nor abide the Test of a critical Inquiry into them. I don't expect, that this _Discourse_ will be any more pleasing and acceptable to the _Clergy_, who are _Ministers_ of the _Letter_ of _Jesus_'s Miracles, as well as of the Prophecies of him, than any of my former: But their Displeasure in the Case will give me no Disturbance, nor am I concern'd about any Resentment, they can make of it. If they are offended at these _Discourses_, they should as they came forth, have written solid Confutations of them, and so have prevented my Publication of any more of this kind: But instead of serious and potent Reasonings against me, I have met with little else but oral Railings, Exclamations, Defamations, and attempts for Prosecution; which have been so far from terrifying me, that they give me a secret Pleasure, and animate me to proceed in the Undertaking in hand.
