the similarly possessed moveables of MESSRS. GODFREY and GILLSON. At

"Those who have not witnessed its wonders, and disbelieve (or
attempt to explain away) the statements of those who _have_, must be
passed by as impracticable subjects, acting precisely on the
principle of the infidel HUME, who, because he never saw a miracle,
would have us infer that no one else ever did."
