Having in the preceding Sermon mentioned the late MIRACLES, with Hopes that they may be Symbolical Representations & Exhibitions of the Miraculous Things, which the Lord is going to Do for His People, I am willing to Entertain the Faith of the Christians in this Remote Wilderness of America, with a ••ief Relation of those Miracles; for all which, we have Incontestable Evidences, that they are not like the Lying Wonders, by Popery sometimes imposed upon the World, but the Wondrous Works of the God, which declare that His Name is Near.
