upon_o the_o next_o verse_n he_o be_v rise_v as_o he_o say_v what_o say_v he_o the_o evangelist_n saint_n luke_n chap._n 24._o as_o he_o say_v to_o you_o woman_n when_o you_o be_v in_o galilee_n then_o the_o say_n must_v be_v take_v as_o it_o be_v tell_v they_o by_o christ_n in_o galilee_n before_o he_o be_v crucify_v what_o be_v his_o say_n he_o say_v unto_o they_o i_o shall_v rise_v the_o three_o day_n what_o mean_v christ_n by_o rise_v be_v it_o rise_v in_o the_o grave_n or_o out_o of_o the_o grave_n certain_o out_o of_o the_o grave_n will_v you_o have_v our_o witness_n two_o angel_n luke_n 24.5_o say_v unto_o these_o woman_n why_o seek_v you_o the_o live_n among_o the_o dead_a if_o he_o be_v live_v he_o be_v not_o among_o the_o dead_a therefore_o not_o in_o the_o grave_n but_o out_o of_o the_o grave_n it_o be_v the_o conclusion_n of_o the_o very_a angel_n themselves_o come_v to_o the_o next_o word_n follow_v here_o go_v quick_o tell_v his_o disciple_n that_o he_o be_v rise_v tell_v his_o disciple_n then_o the_o angel_n instruct_v they_o so_o that_o they_o may_v have_v a_o faith_n that_o he_o be_v out_o of_o the_o grave_n to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v persuade_v the_o disciple_n be_v now_o a_o foundation_n of_o the_o article_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n but_o above_o all_o you_o will_v see_v it_o luke_n 24.6_o he_o render_v the_o word_n of_o christ_n thus_o he_o be_v not_o here_o but_o he_o be_v rise_v but_o that_o be_v a_o particle_n adversitive_a always_o imply_v a_o contradiction_n from_o the_o former_a as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v such_o a_o one_o be_v not_o dead_a but_o alive_a if_o therefore_o alive_a not_o dead_a christ_n say_v of_o his_o body_n i_o be_o not_o spirit_n but_o flesh_n flesh_n therefore_o not_o spirit_n thus_o in_o all_o it_o be_v a_o contradiction_n in_o adjunct_n therefore_o the_o truth_n be_v this_o be_v a_o impossibility_n that_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n can_v be_v in_o two_o place_n at_o once_o which_o be_v the_o conclusion_n draw_v from_o thence_o now_o belove_v i_o have_v not_o insist_v so_o much_o upon_o this_o except_o it_o have_v be_v first_o that_o it_o be_v so_o full_a in_o my_o way_n that_o i_o can_v not_o pass_v by_o it_o second_o because_o of_o the_o jealousy_n of_o these_o time_n wherein_o it_o be_v suspect_v that_o divers_a of_o the_o ecclesiastic_n be_v infect_v with_o this_o leaven_n or_o rather_o leprosy_n of_o popery_n to_o think_v that_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n can_v be_v in_o divers_a place_n at_o once_o therefore_o now_o i_o shall_v crave_v leave_n to_o enlarge_v myself_o and_o the_o rather_o because_o in_o thus_o say_v whosoever_o they_o be_v they_o destroy_v it_o i_o be_o therefore_o now_o belove_v to_o prove_v it_o unto_o you_o not_o by_o testimony_n and_o allegation_n only_o but_o to_o deliver_v unto_o you_o the_o head_n as_o i_o may_v say_v the_o form_n and_o the_o reason_n summary_o of_o true_a antiquity_n in_o the_o primitive_a church_n and_o that_o shall_v confirm_v unto_o we_o this_o our_o doctrine_n to_o have_v be_v not_o only_o a_o catholic_a truth_n but_o to_o have_v have_v the_o degree_n of_o a_o catholic_a faith_n in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n for_o six_o hundred_o year_n together_o brief_o then_o thus_o those_o holy_a father_n teach_v first_o that_o no_o creature_n can_v be_v in_o divers_a place_n at_o once_o why_o for_o that_o this_o to_o be_v in_o divers_a place_n at_o once_o be_v the_o prerogative_n of_o god_n himself_o second_o they_o prove_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o three_o person_n in_o the_o trinity_n be_v god_n why_o for_o that_o it_o be_v in_o divers_a prophet_n at_o once_o jeremiah_n in_o jewry_n daniel_n when_o he_o be_v in_o babylon_n ezekiel_n in_o cabar_n and_o also_o after_o that_o when_o he_o be_v in_o divers_a apostle_n at_o once_o they_o be_v disperse_v into_o divers_a region_n of_o the_o world_n three_o they_o prove_v that_o the_o angel_n be_v not_o go_n why_o because_o angel_n can_v be_v in_o divers_a place_n at_o once_o four_o they_o prove_v that_o no_o body_n no_o bodily_a substance_n can_v be_v in_o divers_a place_n at_o once_o why_o for_o that_o it_o be_v one_o body_n and_o to_o be_v here_o and_o there_o in_o one_o instant_a be_v to_o divide_v itself_o from_o itself_o that_o it_o be_v two_o and_o one_o and_o not_o one_o be_v contradiction_n last_o that_o we_o may_v omit_v divers_a other_o they_o prove_v that_o the_o humanity_n be_v thus_o distinguish_v from_o the_o divinity_n because_o the_o deity_n the_o divinity_n nature_n that_o be_v in_o heaven_n be_v in_o earth_n and_o every_o where_o else_o but_o the_o humane_a nature_n if_o it_o be_v in_o heaven_n it_o be_v not_o on_o earth_n if_o on_o earth_n it_o be_v not_o in_o heaven_n thus_o these_o holy_a father_n you_o have_v their_o doctrine_n of_o truth_n now_o that_o it_o may_v appear_v unto_o you_o that_o this_o doctrine_n of_o truth_n be_v also_o a_o doctrine_n of_o faith_n and_o that_o by_o two_o reason_n first_o because_o by_o these_o for_o his_o which_o be_v answerable_a to_o this_o for_o of_o the_o angel_n here_o they_o urge_v they_o against_o the_o heretic_n of_o their_o time_n such_o be_v the_o marcionite_n the_o manichee_n the_o neucomitan_n and_o such_o like_a second_o because_o they_o do_v this_o to_o this_o end_n that_o they_o may_v confirm_v unto_o all_o the_o world_n the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o deity_n to_o know_v that_o this_o be_v a_o prerogative_n belong_v to_o god_n alone_o and_o second_o for_o the_o preservation_n of_o the_o true_a nature_n of_o the_o manhood_n of_o christ_n for_o whereas_o the_o manichee_n may_v say_v that_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n be_v in_o the_o moon_n and_o the_o deity_n together_o fieri_fw-la non_fw-la potest_fw-la say_v saint_n austin_n it_o can_v be_v for_o by_o this_o mean_v you_o will_v not_o make_v it_o a_o true_a body_n of_o christ_n i_o will_v conclude_v and_o it_o shall_v be_v in_o the_o word_n of_o a_o holy_a

part_n will_v offer_v unto_o you_o 3_o observation_n concern_v this_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n resurrection_n the_o first_o be_v 1._o that_o it_o be_v a_o truth_n most_o evident_a 2._o it_o be_v a_o

manifest_v himself_o to_o two_o to_o twelve_o to_o five_o hundred_o at_o once_o to_o saint_n paul_n after_o his_o ascension_n into_o heaven_n here_o be_v all_o the_o eyesight_n to_o other_o sense_n he_o manifest_v himself_o to_o his_o apostle_n by_o feeling_n and_o handle_v his_o body_n here_o be_v three_o sense_n now_o belove_v why_o shall_v not_o this_o be_v a_o foundation_n of_o truth_n to_o know_v and_o discern_v to_o build_v our_o faith_n upon_o these_o thing_n the_o apostl●●aint_n john_n tell_v we_o that_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v so_o for_o say_v he_o 1_o john_n 1.1_o that_o which_o

a_o man_n self_n without_o love_n they_o may_v all_o hang_v down_o in_o their_o own_o weakness_n and_o infirmity_n and_o therefore_o saint_n paul_n tell_v we_o we_o know_v but_o in_o part_n and_o therefore_o prophesy_v but_o in_o part_n we_o know_v but_o in_o part_n that_o be_v the_o first_o and_o i_o fear_v the_o time_n will_v suffer_v i_o to_o go_v no_o far_o we_o know_v but_o in_o part_n

and_o sound_v the_o depth_n of_o all_o learning_n yea_o that_o have_v go_v round_o all_o humane_a learning_n they_o know_v but_o in_o part_n some_o thing_n there_o be_v that_o we_o know_v not_o and_o

and_o we_o prophesy_v but_o in_o part_n and_o belove_v if_o so_o be_v these_o preacher_n you_o have_v hear_v have_v fall_v short_a in_o any_o particular_a in_o the_o prosecution_n of_o their_o text_n and_o if_o i_o as_o i_o know_v i_o must_v be_v weary_a of_o proceed_v and_o i_o undervalue_v my_o own_o thought_n neither_o will_v i_o be_v so_o in_o love_n with_o the_o brood_n of_o my_o own_o

answer_n can_v we_o give_v but_o that_o it_o be_v the_o quality_n as_o much_o as_o to_o say_v i_o do_v not_o know_v and_o so_o for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o to_o know_v the_o time_n of_o god_n prophecy_n be_v best_a understand_v in_o the_o fulfil_n of_o they_o there_o be_v many_o thing_n god_n have_v leave_v to_o his_o own_o cabinet-councel_n and_o we_o must_v not_o

somewhat_o above_o we_o do_v not_o know_v what_o to_o call_v he_o bring_v in_o a_o contribution_n of_o all_o kind_n of_o language_n there_o be_v too_o much_o inability_n to_o express_v the_o nature_n of_o almighty_n god_n our_o knowledge_n of_o god_n rise_v not_o by_o add_v to_o it_o but_o as_o a_o statue_n rise_v by_o cut_v somewhat_o from_o it_o and_o we_o know_v he_o by_o a_o imperfect_a

and_o so_o for_o the_o trinity_n the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n three_o person_n and_o one_o god_n it_o be_v a_o mystery_n that_o make_v hillary_n cry_v out_o and_o fall_v back_o and_o go_v
