IV. The End of the Gift of Miracles confuteth the feigned Miracles of Transubstantiation. The End of Christs gift was to prove him to be of God (as is aforeshewed) and to prove his Apostles to be of God, and to confirm the Gospel which they Preached, Mar. 16.17, 18, 19, 20. Heb. 2.4. As the gift of Tongues so other wonders, were to convince unbelievers, 1 Cor. 14. Act. 2. & 4.30. & 5.12. & 7.36. & 8.13. & 14.3. 2 Cor. 12.12.
But the miracles of Transubstantiation are known to no unbeliever; nor to any one in the world by any sense; and have no such End, but a contrary effect.
The Apostles who were to convert the world, and next Christ, to do the greatest good, were therefore to do the greatest miracles: And it was their argument for Christ, Joh. 7.31. When Christ cometh will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done? Yet now every ignorant Priest pretendeth to far more, who doth but tempt Infidels to deride Christianity by the pretence; as we do Mohammedanism, for Mahomets sport pretended with the Moon, and other such delirations.
