    brought forward , he would not r 4 £ ject the miracle , but admit the te $ tinppnvt This appears ta me to be perfectly fail and consistent ; for God is the Father of all nations , and may have interposed in all . It is therefore probable , admitting the Christian miracles , that some of the miracles of the second and

    third centuries were real . Nor , is it any valid objection to their reality that some were false , any more than that much testimpny is false , in ordinary facts ; which , however , does not invalidate the true testimojoy - tarother facts , or was ever thoueht to do st > - . There

    probable is a miraculous communication , since it is not so clearly discoverable in any other way .
