6. Quest. Will you grant that we are all infallible here in England, if we can prove any Miracles done among us and by us?
7. Quest. Is it not absolutely necessary to the ⟨p. 236⟩validity of the Testimony of a Miracle, that it be not controlled by some greater Miracle or evidence? Otherwise the Magicians in Egypt, and •imon Magus might have gone away with better reputation. But your pretended Miracles are controlled by far greater and surer, and therefore of no force: For yours are to confirm a doctrine contrary to the Scripture, which was confirmed by many surer Miracles. This we are still ready to prove, though here we take it for certain: but you use to decline that trial.
