The one was the lingo, the other the legerdemain.
But before going further into this subject, it will be proper to inquire what is to be understood by a miracle.
In the same sense that every thing may be said to be a mystery, so also may it be said that every thing is a miracle, and that no one thing is a greater miracle than another.

The elephant, though larger, is not a greater miracle than a mite: nor a mountain a greater miracle than an atom.

To an almighty power it is no more difficult to make the one than the other, and no more difficult to make a million of worlds than to make one.

Every thing, therefore, is a miracle, in one sense; whilst, in the other sense, there is no such thing as a miracle.

It is a miracle when compared to our power, and to our comprehension.
