In my former _Discourse_ I fairly declar'd, that if the _Clergy_ could disprove my Arguments against the _Letter_, and for the _Spirit_ of the Miracles I there took to task, I would not only desist from the Prosecution of my Design, but own my self an impious _Infidel_ and _Blasphemer_, and deserving of the worst Punishment: But since they are all mute and silent, even in this Cause, which in Honour and Interest they should have spoken out to, they ought not to be angry, if I proceed in it. I have given them time enough to make a Reply, if they had been of Ability to do it: What must I think then upon their Silence? Nothing less than that my Cause is impregnable, and my Arguments and Authorities in Defence of it irrefragable; and though they don't professedly yield to the Force of them; yet they have nothing to say in Abatement of their Strength, or it had certainly seen the Light before now. I go on then in my undertaking to write against the literal Story of our Saviour's Miracles, and against the Use that is commonly made of them to prove his divine Authority and Messiahship: And this I do, I solemnly again declare it, not for the Service of Infidelity, but for the Honour of the Holy Jesus, and to reduce the _Clergy_ to the good _old Way_, and the _only Way_ of proving his Messiahship, and that is, by the allegorical Interpretation of the Law and the Prophets. Therefore, without any more Preamble, I resume again the Consideration of the three Heads of Discourse, before proposed to be treated on to this Purpose. And they are, I. To shew, That the Miracles of healing all manner of Bodily Diseases, which _Jesus_ was justly fam'd for, are none of the proper Miracles of the _Messiah_, neither are they so much as a good Proof of his divine Authority to found a Religion. II. That the literal History of many of the Miracles of _Jesus_, as recorded by the _Evangelists_, does imply Absurdities, Improbabilities, and Incredibilities; consequently they, either in whole or in part, were never wrought, as they are commonly believed now-a-days, but are only related as prophetical and parabolical Narratives of what would be mysteriously, and more wonderfully done by him. III. To consider, what _Jesus_ means, when he appeals to his Miracles, as to a Testimony and Witness of his divine Authority; and to shew that he could not properly and ultimately refer to those, he then wrought in the _Flesh_, but to those mystical ones, which he would do in the _Spirit_, of which those wrought in the Flesh are but mere Types and Shadows.
