§. 29. III. I have proved Christ's Miracles to be, 1. Credible, by the highest humane faith. 2. Certain, by natural evidence, there being a natural impossibility that the testimonies should be false. 3. I am next to prove that they are certain by supernatural evidence, (which is the same with natural evidence, as in the effect, but is called supernatural from the way of causing it.)
§. 30. The same works of the SPIRIT, inherent, 1concomitant and subsequent, were the infallible proof of the truth of the Disciples testimony of Christ, his Person, Miracles and Doctrine.
