That Miracles are ceased I can neither prove nor absolutely deny, much less define the time and period of their cessation. That they survived Christ is manifest upon record of Scripture; that they out-lived the Apostles also, and were revived at the conversion of Nations, many years after, we cannot deny if we shall not question those Writers whose testimonies we do not controvert in points that make for our own opinions. Therefore that may have some truth in it that is reported by the Jesuits of their Miracles in the Indies; I could wish it were true, or had any other testimony than their own pens. They may easily believe those Miracles abroad who daily conceive a greater at home: the transmutation of those visible elements into the body and blood of our Saviour: for the conversion of water into wine, which he wrought in Cana, or what the Devil would have had him done in the wilderness, of stones into bread, compared to this, will scarce deserve the name of Miracle. Though indeed, to speak properly, there is not one Miracle greater than another, they being the extraordinary effects of the hand of God, to which all things are of an equal facility, and to create the world as easy as one single creature.
– Sir Thomas Browne, from Religio Medici (1642)
