TheCureofArs,too,wasconcernedaboutEngland'sconversion, andgaveitashisbeliefthatEnglandwillreturntotheChurch.

Thebeliefofasoulsosaintlyis almostequaltoaprophecy,and givesusreasontohopeandbelieve that"thesecondspring"ofthe ChurchinEnglandissurelycoming.

(Markxvi.15,16);then,toencouragethembypromisingtoaccompanytheirteachingbyevidencesattestingtheirdivinecommission,Hesaid"Andthese signsshallfollowthemthatbelieve."etc.(verse17).Thetwentiethverseshowsconclusivelythat thepurposeofthemiracles,"signs," wastofurnishevidence'toconvince theworldofthatdayandallsucceedinggenerationsofthetruthof theGospel,ofthedivinecommission underwhichtheApostlespreachedit, andoftheobligationbindingallmen tobelieveandbebaptisedtobesaved."Buttheygoingforthpreached everywhere;theLordworkingwithal,andconfirmingthewordwith signsthatfollowed."Thisdemonstrationofmiraclesconfirmingthe missionandpreachingoftheApostlesstandsinfullforceforever,and therefore,therewasnonecessityfor itsrepetitionineverygeneration,or forthegiftofmiraclestoheattachedtotheapostolicofficeasanofficialpower.HenceneithertheApostlesnortheirsuccessorshaveever performedmiraclesaspartoftheir office.YetmiracleshaveneverceasedintheChurch.GodhasconfirmedtheteachingoftheChurchand strengthenedthefaithofthefaithfulineverygenerationbymanymiraclesthatshowHiswatchfulProvidenceanabidingPresenceinthe Church,accordingtoHisword"I amwithyoualldays,eventothe consummationoftheworld"(Matt. xxviii.20).

TheconversionofEnglandwould havesuchamightyeffectonthe world,thatitishardtoimagine anythingelsethatcouldsogreatls contributetothe"healingofthe nations."ThenEnglandwouldsend missionarieswhereitnowsendsleer' chants,themeekwouldpossesthe land,andwecouldlookforwardto thewholeworldbeing"boundby goldchains"aboutthefeetof Christ'sVicar.
