1. That besides Greatness of Power, there was nothing but Goodness, Kindness, and Love to Mankind shewn in _Jesus_'s Miracles. As to the Miracles of false Prophets and Impostors, if they be, many of them, of a kind and benevolent Aspect, yet the _Devil_'s Foot, if we look well to it, will discover it self in some ludicrous and mischievous Pranks: But _Jesus_'s Miracles were all of a beneficent Nature; He went about doing good, healing all manner of Diseases among the People, and did no Wrong to any one; which is a good Argument, they say, of his divine Authority, or God would not have suffer'd, nor the _Devil_ have work'd such a Testimony in behalf of it. On this Head our _Divines_ are copious and rhetorical, and many notable and florid Harangues have they made on it. But In answer to them, they don't seem to have their Memories at Hand, when they declaim at this rate. The Fathers, upon whose Authority I write, will tell such Orators, that _Jesus_, if his Miracles are to be understood in the literal Sense, did not only as foolish Things as any Impostor could do, but very injurious ones to Mankind. I shall not here instance in the seemingly foolish and injurious Things which _Jesus_ did for Miracles, intending under the next Head to speak to some of them: But they are such, if literally true, as our _Divines_ do believe, as are enough to turn our Stomachs against such a Prophet; and enough to make us take him for a _Conjuror_, a _Sorcerer_, and a _Wizard_, rather than the _Messiah_ and Prophet of the most High God. But 2. To prove the _Messiahship_ of the Holy _Jesus_ from his Miracles, our _Divines_ urge the Prophecies of the Old Testament, such as that of _Isaiah_, _C._ xxxv. _V._ 5, 6. _Then the Eyes of the Blind shall be opened, and the Ears of the Deaf shall be unstopp'd; then shall the lame Man leap as the Hart, and the Tongue of the Dumb sing_; and say that these Prophecies were accurately fulfill'd by our _Jesus_ in the several specifical Cures of Blindness, Deafness, Lameness, and Dumbness, which he often perform'd upon one or other; and, inasmuch as our Saviour seems to appeal to such Prophecies, do conclude this his Accomplishment of them, to be no less than a Demonstration, that he was the true _Messiah_, that great Prophet, who was to come into the World. To which I answer,
