John9:32

32 Since the world began was it not heard, that any one opened the eyes of one that was born blind .

He proveth Christ to be sent from God; (though it appears by ver 33. that he looked as yet upon him in no higher Notion than a man) from the nature of the miracle that was wrought, which was not the recovery of a blind mans Sight onely: but giving fight to one who was born Blind. Now saith this poor man, This is such a work as was never done by Moses, or by any of the Prophets who have been since the Creation of the World. Some who have been blind from some accidental Cause, and something which hath befaln them, Filmes and Cataracts, &c. have been Cured; and possibly God by his Almighty Power may have given Sight to one born blind. But we never heard of any such thing done by M[illegible: 1 letter]ses, whom we magnifie; nor by the Prophets, for whom we have the greatest Veneration.
