As to the Widow of _Naim_'s Son, there was somewhat more of the Appearance of Death in him, than in _Jairus_'s Daughter. He was carried forth to his Burial, and so may be presumed to be really a dead Corpse. But might not here be Fraud or Mistake in the Case? History and common Fame affords Instances of the mistaken Deaths of Persons, who sometimes have been unfortunately buried alive, and at other Times happily, by one Means or other, restored to Life: And who knows but _Jesus_, upon some Information or other, might suspect this Youth to be in a lethargick State, and had a Mind to try, if by chafeing, _&c._ he could not do, what successfully he did, bring him to his Senses again: Or might not a Piece of Fraud be here concerted between _Jesus_, a subtil Youth, and his Mother and others; and all the Formalities of a Death and Burial contrived, that _Jesus_, whose Fame for a Worker of Miracles was to be rais'd, might here have an Opportunity to make a shew of a grand one. The Mourning of the Widow, who had her Tears at Command and _Jesus_'s casual meeting of the Corpse upon the Road, looks like Contrivance to put the better Face upon the Matter. God forbid, that I should suspect, there was any Fraud of this Kind here; but of the Possibility of it, none can doubt. And where there is a Possibility of Fraud, it is Nonsense, and mere Credulity to talk of a real, certain and stupendous Miracle, especially where the Juggler and pretended Worker of Miracles has been detected in some of his other Tricks. All that I have to say here to this Matter, is, that if _Jesus_ had a Mind to raise the Son of this Widow, in Testimony of his divine Power, he should have suffer'd him to have been buried two or three Weeks first; otherwise, if the Mystery don't account for _Jesus_'s stopping the Bearers of the Corpse upon the Road, here is too much Room for suspicion of Cheat in the Letter of the Story.
