Originally published in London 1697, this is the second edition of Irish physician and historian Bernard Connor’s work about miracle cures. He tried to show that the miraculous cures performed by Jesus Christ and his apostles may be accounted for on natural principles. The book was listed on the Index Prohibitorum of forbidden books from 1721.
