This is a fair question and a reasonable one. I had set out in earnest and good faith to find the proofs of inspiration, in which I had always believed, and only found them wanting.

I directed our fire however to be made in the thicket that we might not be discovered by its light.
"To old stagers like my friend here who has given his proofs of fidelity to the State, some indulgence is granted " "I see that," Claude answered with sarcasm. "I am saying it. But you, if you will not be warned, will soon find or make the town too hot for you." "He will find this house too hot for him!" growled his companion, who had made more than one vain attempt to assert himself.
I have read an admirable story of the Duke of Buckingham, who, when James II. sent a priest to him to persuade him to turn Papist, and was plied by him with miracles, told the doctor, that if miracles were proofs of a religion, the Protestant cause was as well supplied as theirs.
