[There are two ways of bringing the super-natural
magic into discredit: one the most direct & obvious
[way] is to shew the falsity expose the falsehoods
of those who have made pretentions to it: [an indirect
but not by no means inefficacious one] another which though
less indirect is by no means to be contemned, is
the by letting people see the powers and resources
of the natural]
Supernatural The credit of the an supernatural branch of magic
may be weaken'd either directly in itself or by displaying the
extent and powers of the natural. The spirits blood of
the Neapolitans would no longer be kept put in a ferment
by the liquefaction of the that blood of St Januarius
had the government the generosity to permitt,
and montebanks individuals [philosophizers or slight-of hand-men] the courage to exhibit the natural
explication explanation of that miracle. In this point of
view not only lecturers in natural philosophy,
but even montebanks and jugglers, giving
themselves out for such, may be consider'd as a
very useful set of preachers. Credulity and the
propensity
This by exhibition, has been called by travellers a clumsy trick:
very unjustly, says Dr Moore,
for nobody besides the
appointed guardians of this sacred blood have has ever
pretended attempted to imitate it, nor are they always
able
