Here it is most expressly told us, that working Miracles is a peculiar gift of some, and even in those times not common to all that were Priests. But the Papists make it common to every Priest, though a common Adulterer, Drunkard, Murderer or Heretic; no one Priest in the world is without it.

II. Though some few that were workers of iniquity might have some such gifts, Matth. 7. Yet that was so rare, that Nature it self taught men to judge Miracles to be signs of divine approbation: so that Nicodemus thence argueth, Joh. 3.2. No man could do these Miracles that thou dost except God be with him. And ⟨p. 111⟩the man Joh. 9.31. God heareth not sinners, but if any man be a Worshipper of God and doth his will, him he heareth. And the people, vers. 16. How can a man that is a sinner do such Miracles? And it was Christs own proof that he was of God, and his Gospel true; and therefore to Blaspheme his Miracles, by ascribing them to the Devil, was the unpardonable Blasphemy of the Holy Ghost: And to deny Miracles to be a sign of Gods attestation is to subvert all Christianity. Act. 2.22. Jesus of Nazareth a man approved of God among you by miracles, wonders and signs which God did by him in the midst of you — Joh. 5.36. The same works that I do bear witness of me that the Father hath sent me.
