such_o circumstance_n will_v mighty_o awaken_v they_o and_o put_v they_o upon_o a_o more_o serious_a consideration_n of_o the_o folly_n of_o their_o way_n and_o the_o danger_n they_o expose_v they_o to_o than_o ever_o they_o enter_v into_o before_o and_o this_o consideration_n it_o be_v likely_a may_v work_v they_o to_o serious_a resolution_n of_o quit_v their_o present_a course_n and_o enter_v upon_o a_o strict_a life_n certain_o such_o a_o apparition_n as_o this_o in_o reason_n shall_v work_v such_o effect_n and_o without_o doubt_n upon_o many_o it_o will_v but_o this_o we_o say_v whether_o do_v not_o our_o saviour_n perform_v a_o great_a deal_n more_o than_o all_o this_o come_v to_o in_o order_n to_o the_o conviction_n and_o conversion_n of_o all_o about_o he_o and_o whether_o have_v not_o these_o five_o brethren_n suppose_v they_o to_o live_v when_o he_o preach_v his_o gospel_n and_o to_o be_v witness_n of_o his_o action_n much_o more_o reason_n to_o be_v persuade_v by_o what_o he_o do_v and_o teach_v than_o by_o the_o aforesaid_a vision_n our_o saviour_n do_v by_o all_o the_o sign_n and_o token_n in_o the_o world_n evidence_n himself_o to_o be_v a_o express_a messenger_n send_v from_o god_n which_o they_o can_v not_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o vision_n be_v the_o prophetic_a record_n of_o their_o own_o country_n do_v all_o testify_v of_o he_o and_o they_o themselves_o by_o compare_v his_o life_n and_o they_o together_o may_v see_v they_o be_v fulfil_v in_o he_o to_o omit_v the_o circumstance_n of_o his_o birth_n which_o be_v such_o as_o never_o any_o beside_o himself_o be_v bear_v with_o after_o he_o come_v to_o enter_v upon_o his_o public_a employment_n god_n do_v more_o than_o once_o by_o a_o voice_n from_o heaven_n testify_v that_o he_o have_v send_v he_o and_o that_o all_o people_n be_v to_o hearken_v to_o he_o and_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o he_o himself_o confirm_v not_o only_o by_o his_o life_n which_o be_v the_o most_o innocent_a and_o virtuous_a and_o godlike_a that_o ever_o be_v nor_o only_a by_o his_o sermon_n and_o doctrine_n which_o be_v the_o most_o perfect_a and_o unexceptionable_a and_o every_o way_n the_o most_o worthy_a of_o god_n that_o ever_o be_v teach_v among_o man_n but_o also_o and_o most_o chief_o by_o his_o extraordinary_a work_n which_o be_v such_o as_o none_o but_o god_n or_o one_o act_v by_o a_o divine_a power_n can_v possible_o perform_v he_o do_v the_o great_a thing_n that_o ever_o be_v see_v by_o men._n he_o show_v by_o his_o action_n and_o those_o most_o public_o do_v and_o frequent_o repeat_v that_o he_o have_v a_o absolute_a sovereign_a power_n over_o the_o course_n of_o nature_n over_o the_o invisible_a agent_n of_o this_o world_n as_o well_o angel_n as_o devil_n and_o likewise_o over_o both_o the_o body_n and_o the_o soul_n of_o men._n and_o particular_o to_o make_v it_o appear_v that_o his_o testimony_n be_v more_o authentic_a his_o authority_n more_o to_o be_v rely_v on_o than_o that_o of_o any_o ghost_n any_o lazarus_n whatsoever_o that_o shall_v rise_v from_o the_o dead_a it_o be_v very_o usual_a with_o he_o to_o send_v again_o to_o the_o live_v those_o that_o be_v once_o dead_a and_o one_o lazarus_n he_o real_o bring_v again_o from_o the_o bosom_n of_o abraham_n after_o he_o have_v be_v four_o day_n dead_a to_o testify_v to_o the_o world_n that_o jesus_n be_v the_o great_a ambassador_n that_o god_n have_v send_v and_o that_o all_o mankind_n be_v to_o receive_v and_o obey_v he_o and_o lest_o all_o this_o shall_v not_o be_v convince_a enough_o lest_o it_o shall_v be_v say_v still_o one_o that_o shall_v rise_v from_o the_o dead_a and_o come_v and_o preach_v to_o we_o will_v leave_v the_o great_a impression_n upon_o we_o jesus_n himself_o do_v rise_v from_o the_o dead_a and_o do_v come_v and_o preach_v to_o the_o world_n and_o that_o in_o a_o far_o more_o convince_a manner_n than_o the_o ghost_n of_o lazarus_n will_v have_v do_v if_o the_o rich_a man_n have_v have_v his_o own_o wish_n for_o jesus_n tell_v his_o own_o death_n beforehand_o and_o foretell_v also_o his_o resurrection_n and_o if_o god_n mean_v not_o to_o lay_v a_o invincible_a temptation_n before_o mankind_n to_o believe_v a_o falsehood_n it_o have_v concern_v his_o providence_n to_o have_v hinder_v this_o resurrection_n if_o jesus_n have_v be_v any_o thing_n else_o than_o what_o he_o pretend_v to_o be_v but_o he_o do_v rise_v after_o three_o day_n according_a to_o his_o prediction_n and_o converse_v upon_o earth_n with_o his_o follower_n for_o forty_o day_n together_o show_v himself_o not_o only_o to_o a_o few_o particular_a disciple_n but_o to_o great_a crowd_n of_o they_o five_o hundred_o at_o a_o time_n and_o after_o this_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o his_o friend_n he_o take_v his_o leave_n of_o the_o world_n and_o ascend_v up_o into_o heaven_n and_o for_o a_o testimony_n how_o god_n approve_v he_o there_o he_o send_v down_o the_o holy_a spirit_n upon_o his_o disciple_n who_o for_o many_o year_n together_o enable_v they_o to_o do_v our_o saviour_n miracle_n over_o again_o in_o confirmation_n of_o his_o doctrine_n if_o now_o to_o come_v to_o our_o argument_n if_o these_o five_o brethren_n of_o the_o rich_a man_n be_v suppose_v to_o be_v alive_a when_o all_o these_o thing_n come_v to_o pass_v if_o they_o have_v the_o opportunity_n of_o be_v present_a at_o many_o of_o these_o passage_n and_o of_o satisfy_v themselves_o of_o the_o rest_n as_o certain_o suppose_v the_o matter_n of_o fact_n to_o be_v true_a none_o that_o live_v at_o that_o time_n and_o in_o that_o country_n but_o have_v this_o opportunity_n if_o they_o hear_v this_o jesus_n that_o be_v send_v from_o god_n at_o the_o first_o and_o that_o be_v send_v from_o god_n the_o second_o time_n after_o he_o be_v dead_a testify_v against_o their_o sin_n forewarn_v they_o of_o the_o judgement_n to_o come_v and_o assure_v they_o of_o eternal_a reward_n if_o they_o will_v repent_v i_o say_v if_o they_o be_v witness_n of_o these_o thing_n i_o will_v appeal_v to_o all_o the_o world_n whether_o they_o have_v not_o great_a mean_n of_o conviction_n offer_v to_o they_o than_o if_o any_o ghost_n have_v appear_v to_o they_o from_o the_o dead_a or_o any_o particular_a miracle_n have_v be_v vouchsafe_v they_o for_o the_o bring_v they_o over_o to_o virtue_n and_o sobriety_n but_o i_o believe_v no_o body_n will_v much_o doubt_v of_o this_o for_o indeed_o the_o matter_n will_v not_o bear_v a_o dispute_n but_o here_o be_v the_o question_n whether_o we_o that_o live_v at_o this_o distance_n from_o our_o saviour_n have_v the_o same_o mean_n of_o conviction_n and_o whether_o one_o now_o appear_v from_o the_o dead_a to_o we_o will_v not_o be_v of_o great_a force_n to_o persuade_v we_o than_o the_o stand_a revelation_n of_o the_o gospel_n as_o we_o have_v it_o now_o convey_v to_o we_o this_o therefore_o lead_v i_o to_o my_o second_o proposition_n upon_o this_o head_n which_o if_o it_o can_v be_v make_v out_o will_v whole_o take_v away_o all_o controversy_n in_o this_o matter_n and_o it_o be_v this_o that_o we_o at_o this_o day_n have_v as_o great_a argument_n to_o convince_v we_o of_o the_o truth_n of_o christ_n revelation_n and_o consequent_o as_o great_a motive_n from_o thence_o to_o persuade_v we_o to_o reform_v our_o evil_a life_n as_o those_o that_o live_v in_o the_o time_n of_o our_o saviour_n it_o be_v true_a indeed_o we_o want_v the_o evidence_n of_o sense_n in_o these_o matter_n which_o they_o have_v and_o upon_o that_o account_n it_o must_v be_v acknowledge_v that_o they_o have_v the_o advantage_n of_o we_o but_o this_o we_o say_v notwithstanding_o that_o if_o we_o take_v all_o thing_n together_o and_o weigh_v they_o impartial_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o that_o want_n be_v abundant_o supply_v to_o we_o in_o other_o respect_n for_o first_o of_o all_o our_o saviour_n gospel_n and_o all_o the_o evidence_n of_o it_o i_o have_v be_v now_o speak_v of_o be_v timely_a and_o faithful_o record_v and_o be_v as_o faithful_o transmit_v down_o to_o we_o so_o that_o though_o we_o do_v not_o see_v or_o hear_v those_o thing_n yet_o we_o have_v a_o certain_a and_o exact_a account_n of_o they_o and_o such_o a_o account_n as_o be_v never_o yet_o question_v by_o any_o adversary_n that_o live_v in_o those_o time_n when_o such_o a_o question_n be_v most_o reasonable_o to_o be_v make_v and_o such_o a_o account_n as_o appear_v by_o all_o the_o evidence_n that_o a_o thing_n of_o that_o nature_n be_v capable_a of_o to_o have_v be_v write_v by_o eye-witness_n and_o such_o witness_n as_o be_v honest_a undesigning_a man_n and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o they_o seal_v with_o their_o blood_n the_o truth_n of_o what_o they_o report_v and_o this_o same_o account_n be_v religious_o
