In a word, in all places where the Apostles came these miracles were wrought, and in all the Churches the gifts of the Holy Ghost were usual, either of Prophecy or of healing, or of speaking strange languages, or interpreting them, some had one, and some another, and some had most or all. And by such miracles were the Christian Churches planted. And all this power Christ had foretold them of at his departure from them, Mark. 16.17. [These signs shall follow them that believe: in my Name shall they cast out Devils, they shall speak with new tongues, they shall take up Serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing it shall not hurt them; they shall lay their hands on the sick and they shall recover.] Yea in his Life-time on Earth, he sent forth his Apostles, and seventy Disciples with the same power, which they exercised openly, Luk. 9.1. &c. & 10.16, 17. Thus was the Gospel confirmed by multitudes of open miracles.
