Thirdly, it teacheth us that no work is a miracle which cannot be felt, smelled, or perceived by some of the senses: when men therefore hold us in hand that there is a miracle, yet if we cannot see any thing, feel, smell, or taste any thing, contrary to the ordinary manner, there is no miracle wrought. Therefore let the malignant Church of Rome, teach, write, and decree in their counsels, that there is a miracle wrought in the Sacrifice of their Altar; yet because I can neither see, touch, smell, nor taste any thing but the same that was before, it cannot be any Miracle.

If any work be done by the power of Satan, or of any man: or any thing be done wonderfully by the power of Nature, it is no miracle. If Satan hath power to do any strange thing, it is a natural work, and therefore no miracle. So also of the good Angels. So likewise if we see strange things come to pass in the Heavens by Natural causes, we are not to think they are any miracles.
