[269] Et bene Domus Jesu juxta alterius Evangelistæ Narrationem tegulis esse contecta reperitur, quia sub contemptibili Literarum Velamine, si adsit, qui reseret, divina spiritualis Gratiæ Virtus invenietur. Denudatio etenim Tegularum in Domo Jesu, Apertio est, in utilitate Literæ, sensus spiritualis ac arcanorum coelestium. _In Loc. Marci._ A FIFTH DISCOURSE ON THE MIRACLES OF OUR _SAVIOUR_, In VIEW of the Present Controversy between INFIDELS and APOSTATES. ----_Ridiculum acri Fortius & melius magnas plerumq; secat Res._ The Second Edition. By THO. WOOLSTON, B.D. sometime Fellow of _Sidney-College_ in _Cambridge_. _LONDON_: Printed for the Author, and Sold by him next door to the _Star_, in _Aldermanbury_, and by the Booksellers of _London_, and _Westminster_, 1728. [Price One Shilling.] [Illustration] TO THE Right Reverend Father in God _THOMAS_, Lord BISHOP of _Bangor_. MY LORD, Whatever we poor _Authors_ may sometimes pretend to, by the Dedication of our Works to _Great_ Men; it's certain we aim at nothing less than Rewards and Preferments, whether we deserve them or not: That this is my Design in _Dedications_, is so apparent, that it's to no Purpose to deny or dissemble it. Wherefore else have I made Choice of some of our Learned and Wealthy _Bishops_ for the Patrons of these _Discourses_, which I foresaw would be grateful to their nice and critical Palates? Wherefore else have I been so profuse of such Compliments on their _Lordships_, as I was sure, they would take great Pleasure in? Wherefore else, _My Lord_, do I inscribe _this_ to your _Right Reverend_ Name, but that I expect your Approbation of it, and hope for a Recompence, equal to the Honour, that is here done you. Some, who are envious, _My Lord_, of my good Fortune in _Episcopal_ Patrons, will not believe that I have receiv'd so much as one _Purse_ of _Gold_ for any of my _Dedications_; but I would have such Malignants to know, that the less I have receiv'd, the more there is behind: And I can moreover assure them, that their _Lordships_ have it in their Heads and their Hearts too, highly to advance me in the World; and if their Endeavours for my Promotion fail not, I shall be a very _Great_ Man.
