The Case Is Totally Altered, And I Confess That I Have Not The Same Facility In Giving My Credence To The Alleged Fact—Quodcunque Ostendis Mihi Sic Incredulus Odi;—While I Feel; On The Contrary, The Necessity Of Instituting A Most Rigid, And Scrupulous, And Impartial
the case is totally altered , and I confess that I have not the same facility in giving my credence to the alleged fact—Quodcunque ostendis mihi sic incredulus odi ;—while I feel ; on the contrary , the necessity of instituting a most rigid , and scrupulous , and impartial
my self may have seen or experienced ; But when 1 read the story of the miraculous conception , or of the miracle of the loaves and fishes , or of the restoring of Lazarus to life after he had been dead four days , I perceive that
inquiry into all circumstances connected with it . I do not say that it is not to be believed , in spite of all evidence whatever ; but I contend that the case is not the same with that of the ordinary facts of history , and that the
scruples of the cautious inquirer after truth , upon the score of miracles , are far from being either so absurd or unreasonable as they are generally deemed . I think I read in one of your late Numbers , that some German doctors have undertaken to discard from our faith
the whole fabric of miracles . But how this is to be done I must confess myself at a loss even to conjecture . They cannot surely have calculated the costs of the undertaking 5 for they must inevitably fail . Such are the remarks that have
occurred to me in perusing the essay of Bereanus , on which I have hazarded a few strictures , not in the spirit of hostility , which I totally disclaim , but of free land impartial inquiry ; and if you should regard them as being at all worthy of the notice of your readers , I will thank you to give them a place in your Repository .

sound whereof is able ( by the Grace off God ) to winne the most profane Woiidling , and careless Liver , ( if there be but the least Sparke of Grace remayning in him , ) to oecome a true Christian

Sir , Oct . 4 , 1821 . READ with much satisfaction , in I your last Number , ( p . 525 , ) " Brief Notes on the Bible , No . XVIII . » The author remarks on the materiality of man , as it respects his frame and powers . He may see this subject proved by scriptural references , in a small work , entitled , " Meditations on the
Scriptures , " Vol . II . p . 72 , Note , published by Riviugtons ,, where he will find a curious anatomical , or rather physical argument , which seems to explain the reason why St . Paul Uses the term seed , as sown \ yith the body when deposited in the earth ; and from which germ or seed will be raised ™ e < spiiritftaP or heavenly : bofty ^ It
