Quer. 11. Is it possible that so many Heretics that did fall from them and set against the true Apostles, would none of them have disclosed the deceit, if really the Miracles had not been done?

Quer. 12. Is it possible that none of the Jews, their bitter Enemies, nor any of the Learned Romans of that age, would have discovered the fraud, and by writing confuted the matters of fact, being public, and if false, so easily confuted? Where are the Books that ever any one of them wrote to disprove any of these Miracles? If you say, The Christians burnt them; give us the least proof of it if you can. When did any Jew complain of such a thing? Nay how could the dispersed persecuted Christians destroy the writings of their reigning enemies? The writings of Jews and Romans then written remain to this day, and had fuller humane advantages of preservation, then any that are against them. No Jews or Romans complained or to do this day complain of such a thing; nor tell us of any such writings of theirs, that ever were in the world.
