Bishop _Gibson_ is for his _Jesus_'s being the Messiah, because he cured an old _Woman_ of a _Spirit_ of, no body knows what, _Infirmity_; consequently little or nothing is to be laid for the Greatness of that Miracle. But I am for the spiritual _Jesus_'s Messiahship, who, according to the Figure of that literal Story, is to heal the _Woman_ of the Church of her _Infirmity of the Spirit_ of Prophecy, which _Jesus_ of _Nazareth_ has not done for her, or there would not be so many Disputes about Prophecies and their Interpretations, so far, as there is hardly one Prophecy that Christians are agreed about the Sense of. It is the grand Characteristick of the true _Messiah_, that he's to restore Prophecy and the Way of Interpretation of the Prophets, upon the allegorical Scheme too. I speak this, not only upon the Authority of the Prophets themselves, but upon an almost infinite Number of Testimonies of ancient _Jews_ and _Fathers_; accordingly I expect the Advent of a spiritual Messiah, who alone can do it, to heal the Church of her present _Infirmity_, and to restore the Art and Gift of Prophecy. Bishop _Gibson_ is an Admirer of _Jesus_ of _Nazareth_, because he told a poor Whore of _Samaria_, her Fortune of _having had five Husbands_, and being then an Adulteress with another Man; which, according to the Letter, is such a poor sort of a Miracle, that I can hardly think of it without blushing: But I am an Adorer beforehand of the spiritual _Jesus_ who, according to that Type, will out of the Law and the Prophets, allegorically interpreted, tell the present heretical and adulterous Woman of the Church _all that she has done_, and how she has been wedded to the sensible Things of the _five_ Books of _Moses_, and is now an Adulteress with the _Anti-Christ_ of the Letter. Such an Information of the Church will be a most stupendous and miraculous Work, and a Demonstration of our _Jesus_'s Messiahship beyond Contradiction, in as much as it will be agreeable to the Opinion, that all Antiquity entertain'd of the true _Messiah_, _viz._ that he was to let us into the Sight, Knowledge and Understanding of the Wisdom and Beauty of Providence thro' all Ages of the World. Bishop _Gibson_ admires _Jesus_ of _Nazareth_ for _his cursing the Figtree; for not bearing Fruit out of Season_: Shame on that Miracle, according to the Letter, and on all Admirers of it! But I am for the spiritual _Jesus_, who, at his coming to the Figtree of his Church, will make its present unfruitful State to _wither away_, and cause it to produce the Fruits of the Spirit, and allegorical Interpretations of the Scriptures, that are compared to sweet and ripe Figs. For such his Advent to this miraculous and beneficial Purpose I daily pray and say too, Blessed are all those who love his Appearance!
