Not illustrated. 1785 edition. Excerpt: ... Two QUESTIONS, previous to Dr. Mi DDL Eton's Free En" quiryy impartially confidered. QUESTION t TH E Firft QuefUon, which ought to be confidered, and which feems to be of no fmall Confequence, is, What are the Grounds, upon which the Credibility of Miracles, in general, ts founded There is certainly a particular Difficulty in Enquiries about the Credibility of Miracles: They are not only umtfual Works, but extraordinaryy and beyond the Power of Man to do; and therefore common Evidence is very rarely enough to fatisfy a fair and candid Enquirer, when he is fearching, whether any Man did perform the miraculousWorks reported of him. It feems to be a fair Queftion, and not to be anfwered with a Je/l, which St. B Auftin Auftin puts, as from fome Unbelievers ', "Why, fay they, are not thofe Miracles, "which you fay were done formerly, now "done?" His Anfwer wasb, " He, that re"quires Miracles to be done now, in order "to his Belief, is himfelf a great Miracle, "who does not believe when all the World "believes." And then, without entering into the Grounds of the Credibility of Miracles, he refers to the Scripturesc, "wherein what "was done, and for the Belief of what Micc racles were done," is amply related. Teftimony, no doubt, has in all Cafes its proper Weight: but as Truth or Falfhood may be equally reported, and all things related are not therefore to be believed, merely becaufe they are related, where-ever things cut of the common Courfe of Nature are told, they are in themfelves liable to Douht and Bufpicion: and as they are rather incredible than credible at the firft View, every one has a Right to examine and fee, whether there is not fome magnifying of Incidents, or fome Fraud, or Impofition, or fome Trick made ufe of, which we are...

Book Description
The Reformation of the sixteenth century shattered the unity of medieval Christendom, and the resulting fissures spread to the corners of the earth. No scholar of the period has done more than Carlos M.N. Eire, however, to document how much these ruptures implicated otherworldly spheres as well. His deeply innovative publications helped shape new fields of study, intertwining social, intellectual, cultural, and religious history to reveal how, lived beliefs had real and profound implications for social and political life in early modern Europe. Reflecting these themes, the volume celebrates the intellectual legacy of Carlos Eire's scholarship, applying his distinctive combination of cultural and religious history to new areas and topics. In so doing it underlines the extent to which the relationship between the natural and the supernatural in the early modern world was dynamic, contentious, and always urgent. Organized around three sections - 'Connecting the Natural and the Supernatural', 'Bodies in Motion: Mind, Soul, and Death' and 'Living One's Faith' - the essays are bound together by the example of Eire's scholarship, ensuring a coherence of approach that makes the book crucial reading for scholars of the Reformation, Christianity and early modern cultural history.
