" Here, it is confefTed, the author has touched upon a very powerful * P. 185, and [ 64 ] and fruitful fource of error. Men, whofe pa lions arc Wronger than their reafon, will be guil- ty of excefs in religion as well as in other things. A zeal for opinions frequently makes men conclude their own caufe to be the caufe of God ; and, from wifhing that Heaven may declare in their favour, they are eafily led to believe fuch interpositions upon the flighted teftimony. But, tho* this principle will m...ake men believe falfe miracles, it will not overpower their fenfes, or make them fee what has no rea- lity. The French prophets were extravagant enough to expeft that one of their principal teachers would come to life again j but, with all their enthufiafm, none could believe that he faw this miracle : on the contrary, this difap- pointment opened their eyes, and the pretence to miracle ruined their caufe. Nor can I allow, with the author, that men of the beft inten- tions can propagate a known falfhood for the fake of truth.
