suspicion_n of_o fraud_n and_o they_o be_v first_o the_o jew_n from_o who_o both_a or_o all_o confession_n and_o talmudick_n write_n every_o one_o may_v know_v it_o second_o the_o mahometan_n in_o the_o koran_n three_o the_o heathen_n of_o who_o be_v celsus_n and_o julian_n who_o although_o they_o detract_v much_o from_o christ_n in_o the_o write_n which_o they_o set_v out_o against_o christian_n yet_o they_o do_v not_o deny_v his_o cruel_a death_n and_o miracle_n which_o appear_v from_o their_o resutation_n by_o origen_n and_o cyril_n 2._o the_o witness_n of_o all_o those_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v relate_v concern_v christ_n be_v his_o disciple_n who_o live_v in_o that_o age_n and_o especial_o his_o twelve_o apostle_n to_o who_o be_v add_v also_o a_o thirteen_o who_o of_o a_o most_o fierce_a enemy_n become_v a_o disciple_n of_o christ_n be_v call_v from_o heaven_n to_o give_v witness_n to_o he_o neither_o matter_n it_o that_o his_o disciple_n only_o bear_v witness_n of_o his_o resurrection_n and_o exaltation_n for_o such_o thing_n as_o these_o no_v one_o but_o his_o disciple_n can_v witness_v for_o who_o can_v see_v christ_n raise_v again_o and_o reign_v in_o heaven_n and_o not_o become_v his_o disciple_n it_o suffice_v that_o the_o testimony_n of_o those_o disciple_n be_v beyond_o all_o exception_n xviii_o but_o that_o their_o testimony_n be_v such_o be_v prove_v 1._o because_o they_o confirm_v their_o testimony_n by_o most_o divine_a miracle_n in_o heal_a disease_n incurable_a by_o humane_a art_n in_o raise_v the_o dead_a and_o cast_v out_o devil_n but_o that_o they_o do_v these_o thing_n will_v by_o and_o by_o appear_v 2._o because_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o those_o witness_n can_v neither_o be_v deceive_v nor_o will_v deceive_v that_o they_o can_v not_o be_v deceive_v be_v manifest_a 1._o because_o they_o be_v not_o only_a ear_n but_o eye-witness_n 2._o because_o they_o witness_v a_o thing_n not_o once_o only_o see_v but_o approve_v by_o frequent_a and_o often_o repeat_v experiment_n for_o forty_o day_n together_o and_o not_o look_v upon_o with_o the_o eye_n only_o but_o handle_v also_o with_o the_o hand_n 3._o because_o there_o be_v not_o only_o one_o witness_n but_o beside_o five_o hundred_o together_o that_o at_o one_o and_o the_o same_o time_n see_v christ_n after_o he_o be_v rise_v and_o unto_o who_o paul_n appeal_v 1_o cor._n 15.6_o which_o liar_n be_v not_o wont_a to_o do_v there_o be_v thirteen_o chief_a witness_n in_o a_o special_a manner_n choose_v and_o appoint_v to_o testify_v this_o very_a thing_n so_o many_o person_n can_v not_o possible_o be_v deceive_v in_o thing_n expose_v to_o their_o sense_n it_o remain_v to_o be_v prove_v that_o they_o will_v not_o deceive_v which_o be_v hence_o manifest_a 1._o because_o they_o be_v honest_a man_n and_o of_o holy_a and_o unblameable_a life_n so_o that_o they_o be_v never_o accuse_v much_o less_o convict_v of_o any_o real_a crime_n no_o not_o by_o their_o most_o malicious_a enemy_n among_o who_o they_o converse_v 2._o because_o this_o profession_n cost_v they_o the_o great_a suffering_n and_o peril_n neither_o do_v they_o gain_v by_o this_o way_n either_o riches_n or_o honour_n or_o glory_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_n incur_v the_o bitter_a hatred_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o draw_v upon_o themselves_o a_o heap_n and_o

will_v not_o have_v feign_v with_o so_o great_a damage_n to_o themselves_o a_o thing_n so_o odious_a and_o hateful_a and_o will_v rather_o curry_v favour_n with_o the_o noble_n and_o people_n of_o the_o jew_n who_o they_o know_v to_o hate_n christ_n with_o a_o perfect_a hatred_n then_o by_o a_o false_a and_o so_o odious_a a_o affirmation_n to_o have_v provoke_v and_o stir_v up_o their_o mind_n against_o they_o for_o this_o be_v the_o manner_n of_o impostor_n and_o those_o that_o love_v lie_v to_o contrive_v nothing_o soon_o than_o that_o which_o they_o think_v will_v be_v most_o grateful_a to_o their_o hearer_n and_o as_o fisher_n be_v wont_a to_o bait_v their_o hook_n with_o such_o thing_n as_o they_o know_v the_o fish_n like_v so_o these_o also_o that_o they_o may_v insinuate_v into_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n love_v to_o tell_v those_o thing_n which_o they_o know_v will_v please_v they_o and_o accommodate_v their_o word_n to_o tickle_v their_o ear_n but_o these_o despise_a

here_o for_o suspicion_n of_o any_o the_o least_o untruth_n neither_o may_v you_o think_v that_o this_o argument_n be_v infringe_v by_o the_o example_n of_o those_o who_o even_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o a_o false_a religion_n and_o doctrine_n bear_v oftentimes_o cruel_a torment_n yea_o and_o stick_v not_o to_o spend_v their_o life_n on_o it_o for_o it_o be_v one_o thing_n to_o die_v for_o a_o false_a doctrine_n which_o thou_o believe_v to_o be_v true_a another_o thing_n to_o die_v for_o a_o self_n doctrine_n which_o thou_o know_v to_o be_v false_a and_o feign_v by_o thyself_o of_o the_o first_o there_o be_v very_o many_o example_n but_o of_o the_o late_a it_o be_v impossible_a that_o among_o man_n in_o their_o wit_n and_o not_o extreme_o mad_a there_o shall_v be_v any_o example_n at_o all_o but_o the_o most_o divine_a write_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o full_a of_o profond_a wisdom_n which_o we_o have_v in_o our_o hand_n do_v more_o then_o enough_o vindicate_v they_o from_o the_o imputation_n of_o foolishness_n and_o madness_n xix_o a_o second_o reason_n whereby_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o divinity_n be_v prove_v be_v this_o namely_o that_o so_o many_o thousand_o of_o man_n in_o all_o nation_n believe_v on_o he_o not_o only_o of_o the_o common_a sort_n but_o also_o of_o the_o learned_a wise_a man_n and_o philosopher_n and_o they_o so_o believe_v that_o they_o suffer_v not_o themselves_o to_o be_v deter_v from_o this_o faith_n by_o any_o persecution_n yea_o or_o cruel_a death_n and_o this_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o wonderful_a in_o that_o the_o obstacle_n to_o religion_n be_v almost_o infinite_a they_o be_v hinder_v 1_o by_o a_o inveterate_a love_n of_o the_o religion_n of_o their_o country_n receive_v by_o long_a custom_n who_o know_v not_o how_o zealous_a the_o jew_n be_v and_o be_v always_o in_o their_o religion_n and_o no_o man_n can_v doubt_v the_o same_o of_o the_o heathen_n that_o know_v that_o socrates_n be_v therefore_o condemn_v at_o athens_n because_o he_o seem_v to_o introduce_v a_o new_a religion_n 2._o by_o the_o ignominious_a death_n of_o christ_n for_o how_o hard_o think_v you_o be_v it_o to_o believe_v in_o one_o that_o be_v crucify_v and_o to_o take_v he_o for_o master_n and_o lord_n who_o the_o jew_n hang_v upon_o a_o cross_n as_o a_o wicked_a and_o heinous_a offender_n torture_v with_o all_o kind_n of_o contumely_n and_o cruelty_n hence_o paul_n the_o apostle_n not_o without_o cause_n write_v 1_o cor._n 1.23_o that_o he_o preach_v christ_n crucify_v to_o the_o jew_n a_o stumbling-block_n and_o to_o the_o greek_n foolishness_n 3._o by_o the_o harshness_n of_o the_o precept_n for_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n bid_v open_a war_n to_o all_o carnal_a concupiscence_n
