After this fashion do the Fathers, one or other of them, copiously treat on every Part of this Transfiguration of _Jesus_. I could collect an almost infinite Number of Passages out of their Writings to this Purpose: But from these few it is plain, they look'd on the Story of Christ's Transfiguration, but as a Figure and Parable; and they were certainly in the right on't, in as much as this their Sense of the Matter, and no other, will solve the Difficulties before started against the Letter, as any one may discern, if he attentively review and compare one with the other: As, for instance, this their Sense and Interpretation lets us into the Reason of _Moses_ and _Elias_'s appearing on the Mount with _Jesus_; and gives us to understand what they talk'd about, and that was, not on _Jesus_'s _Decease which he would accomplish at_ Jerusalem, as our Translation has it, but on the Prophecy of the Old Testament; particularly, as St. _Luke_ says, on _Moses_'s Book of _Exodus, and how he would fulfill it_ at the New Jerusalem. Whether any, besides my self, does really apprehend, and is willing to understand this Story of Christ's Transfiguration, as I do, I neither know nor care. I am not bound to find others Ears, Eyes, and Capacities. What I have said is enough to shew the Sense of the Fathers about this Matter. If any dislike their concurrent Opinion of _Jesus_'s Transfiguration's being an Emblem, an Enigma, and figurative Representation of a future and most glorious Transfiguration, such a one as they speak of; let him account for the Difficulties and Objections which I have before raised against the Letter of this Story. In the mean time I shall think it, literally, an absurd, improbable, and incredible one, and no other than a prophetical and parabolical Narrative of what will be mysteriously and more wonderfully done by _Jesus_. And thus I have considered _three_ of the Miracles of our Saviour, and shewn how they are Absurdities, according to the Letter, consequently do make nothing for his Authority and _Messiahship_. I can and will do as much by his other Miracles; for I would not have any one think I am gotten to the End of my Tedder, but for some Reasons best known to my self, I publish these Remarks on these three first. After the _Clergy_ have chew'd upon these a while, I will take into Examination some others of _Jesus_'s Miracles, which for their literal Story are admired by them. As for Instance,
