* Since.
It is worthy of remark, that, from the foundation of the
world, no person born blind had been restored to sight, even
by surgical operation, till about the year 1728; when the
celebrated Dr. Cheselden, by couching the eyes of a young man
fourteen years of age, restored them to perfect vision. This
was the effect of well-directed surgery; that performed by
Christ was wholly a miracle, effected by the power of God.
The simple means employed could have had no effect in this
case, and were merely employed as symbols.
