1. He sealeth up the Truth which the Deceiver denieth, with a stream of most unquestionable Miracles; and so showeth us that it cannot be a Truth and of God which is said against such Sealed Verity, while all his Miracles confute theirs. 2. Or if it be a Truth known to Man by the Common Light of ⟨p. 49⟩Nature, that Light confuteth the Pretenders Miracle. 3. If he do it to confirm a false Prediction, it's confuted by the thing not coming to pass. 4. In the case of Egyptian tMagicians wonders, God permitted them that his power might triumph over them, and confute them; As he may permit a Sophister to talk against the Truth, that he may be silenced and shamed. In none of all this doth God become the Worlds deceiver. But the Miracles of Christ, and his Apostles and Disciples, were never controlled by the Light of Nature, by more prevalent Miracles, or any such means; but were the fullest Signification of Gods attestation that Man can have to save him from Deceit.
