Seasons, should proceed from his Mouth, to the Destruction of another Man's harmless and inoffensive Tree, is what none upon Earth can account for. Our _Divines_, one or other of them, have publish'd several notable Notions about Miracles, and have laid down good Rules to distinguish _true_ from _false_ ones; but none of them, as far as I perceive, have taken any Pains to shew the Consistence of _Jesus_'s Miracles to their own Rules and Notions. Mr. _Chandler_, (who as the _Archbishop_[152] says, has rightly slated the Notion of a Miracle) among his Rules of judging by whom Miracles are perform'd, says,[153] _That the Things pretended to be done, are to be such, as that it is consistent with the Perfections of God to interest himself in_; and again, _they must be such as answer to the Character of God as a good and gracious Being_; and again, _It seems reasonable to believe, that whenever the first and best of Beings is pleased to send an extraordinary Messenger with a Revelation of his Will, he will furnish him with such Proofs of his Mission, as may argue, not only the Power of him in whose Name be comes, but his Love to Mankind, and his Inclination to do them good_. I have no Dislike to these Notions of Mr. _Chandler_; but as it is not to be questioned, that he (and the _Archbishop_ too) had this Miracle of _Jesus_'s cursing the Figtree, and some others, as of his _boisterous driving the Buyers and Sellers out of the Temple_; of _his sending the Devils into the Herd of Swine_; of _his turning Water into Wine for the Use of Men, who had before well drank_, &c. in his View, when he gave forth the foresaid Rules; (for acute and learned Writers in Theology are supposed to have their Wits about them;) so it is to be hop'd that he or the _Archbishop_ will soon publish somewhat to reconcile these Miracles of _Jesus_ to their own Notions; tho' I don't expect it before _latter Lammas_.
