And the man thus divinely Illuminated is as capable of communicating to others fuch illumi- nation of knowledge, as he who may have acquired it in the ordinary way : and indeed with greater weight ; for he feels it, and communicates it as a divine impreflion, and therefore an incontro* vercible truth. But the mere belief of internal illumi- nations, is no proof that w^e poffefs them : for thofe fancied feelings, that are boafted by many of weak heads and warm imaginations, are as impreffive as ...real ones : we may be deceived by them ourftlves, 154 THE GROUND AND CREDIBILITY Sermon ourfelves, and thereby led to deceive ^.^^.^^ others. There is need therefore of fome external proof of the truth and reality of our pretenfions : and no furer or more fatisfaclory one can be conceived, than the performance of afts, which exceed the ordinary powers of nature. They are dired appeals to the fenfes ; and when the experience of internal illumi- nations is attended with fuch charafters of external evidence ; it a61:s with all the force of conviction truth can give, and has a claim to rational aflent.
