he_o away_o whilst_o we_o sleep_v 13._o when_o there_o be_v such_o a_o perverseness_n of_o mind_n they_o will_v cavil_v eternal_o and_o will_v question_v their_o own_o sense_n rather_o than_o own_o

and_o put_v his_o finger_n into_o the_o print_n of_o the_o nail_n and_o thrust_v his_o hand_n into_o his_o wound_a side_n be_v a_o evidence_n no_o more_o to_o be_v question_v than_o whether_o he_o

not_o to_o all_o the_o people_n thus_o tertullian_n say_v constaret_fw-la he_o do_v not_o offer_v himself_o to_o the_o view_n of_o the_o people_n lest_o the_o wicked_a shall_v be_v deliver_v from_o

inexcusable_a that_o believe_v not_o which_o shall_v be_v the_o subject_a of_o the_o next_o general_n viz._n 3._o that_o it_o be_v a_o sufficient_a proof_n of_o christ_n resurrection_n and_o a_o sufficient_a reason_n for_o our_o belief_n of_o it_o that_o he_o be_v thus_o open_o show_v to_o such_o witness_n though_o not_o to_o all_o the_o people_n there_o be_v a_o absolute_a necessity_n for_o the_o proof_n of_o christ_n resurrection_n that_o he_o shall_v appear_v plain_o and_o visible_o to_o some_o and_o to_o who_o soon_o than_o to_o those_o that_o have_v be_v before_o conversant_a with_o

so_o that_o i_o need_v not_o further_o to_o enlarge_v upon_o this_o argument_n and_o so_o i_o shall_v proceed_v to_o the_o four_o general_n which_o be_v 4._o to_o consider_v the_o testimony_n which_o be_v give_v by_o christ_n resurrection_n to_o the_o doctrine_n teach_v by_o the_o choose_a witness_n and_o that_o be_v christ_n be_v ordain_v by_o god_n to_o be_v the_o judge_n of_o quick_a and_o dead_a in_o which_o there_o be_v these_o four_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v 1._o that_o there_o be_v a_o time_n of_o reckon_a and_o a_o judgement_n to_o come_v when_o all_o man_n shall_v give_v a_o account_n of_o themselves_o to_o god_n and_o be_v determine_v to_o happiness_n or_o misery_n according_a to_o what_o they_o have_v do_v in_o this_o life_n 2._o that_o christ_n be_v ordain_v to_o be_v at_o that_o time_n the_o judge_n of_o quick_a and_o dead_a 3._o that_o this_o be_v as_o certain_a so_o to_o be_v as_o that_o god_n raise_v up_o christ_n from_o the_o dead_a 4._o that_o this_o be_v a_o doctrine_n of_o such_o importance_n and_o universal_a concernment_n to_o all_o mankind_n that_o it_o be_v to_o be_v preach_v to_o all_o the_o people_n 1._o that_o there_o be_v a_o judgement_n to_o come_v this_o world_n be_v a_o state_n of_o trial_n where_o every_o person_n have_v a_o work_n to_o do_v a_o office_n to_o discharge_n a_o talon_n to_o improve_v and_o a_o time_n for_o it_o but_o the_o time_n of_o reckon_n when_o a_o person_n be_v to_o give_v a_o account_n of_o his_o stewardship_n be_v reserve_v to_o another_o life_n and_o indeed_o the_o nature_n of_o this_o state_n will_v not_o admit_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v otherwise_o and_o that_o person_n here_o shall_v receive_v their_o final_a doom_n for_o here_o god_n rule_v in_o a_o ordinary_a way_n by_o the_o ministry_n of_o man_n and_o under_o these_o circumstance_n it_o be_v not_o possible_a to_o lay_v judgement_n to_o the_o line_n and_o righteousness_n to_o the_o plummet_n and_o to_o bring_v all_o thing_n to_o a_o right_n and_o unerring_a determination_n for_o man_n can_v judge_v only_o according_a to_o outward_a appearance_n and_o can_v understand_v what_o be_v the_o secret_a and_o original_a spring_n of_o action_n which_o often_o be_v lodge_v very_o deep_a and_o yet_o which_o must_v be_v know_v if_o we_o will_v pass_v a_o impartial_a judgement_n again_o there_o be_v action_n of_o the_o heart_n which_o betray_v not_o themselves_o by_o any_o external_n sign_n and_o indication_n and_o so_o be_v only_o knowable_a to_o god_n the_o searcher_n of_o the_o heart_n again_o there_o be_v even_o some_o external_n action_n that_o a_o person_n be_v himself_o only_o privy_a to_o as_o secret_a injustice_n on_o one_o side_n and_o private_a charity_n on_o the_o other_o when_o the_o left_a hand_n know_v not_o what_o the_o right_a hand_n do_v 3._o again_o there_o

thing_n and_o so_o be_v also_o the_o holy_a ghost_n who_o god_n have_v give_v to_o they_o that_o obey_v he_o but_o this_o bring_v on_o the_o second_o general_n viz._n 2._o why_o be_v not_o christ_n show_v after_o his_o resurrection_n to_o all_o the_o people_n as_o well_o as_o unto_o choose_a witness_n our_o b._n saviour_n in_o the_o time_n of_o his_o three_o year_n ministry_n go_v about_o do_v good_a v_o 38._o and_o come_v as_o he_o say_v of_o himself_o eat_v and_o drink_v 19_o and_o free_o converse_v as_o there_o be_v occasion_n but_o though_o he_o abide_v 40_o day_n upon_o the_o earth_n after_o his_o resurrection_n he_o seem_v then_o rather_o to_o retire_v from_o conversation_n than_o to_o use_v it_o as_o before_o and_o his_o visit_n be_v rather_o occasional_a than_o continue_v now_o it_o may_v be_v think_v to_o have_v render_v his_o resurrection_n more_o unquestionable_a and_o will_v have_v be_v more_o to_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o mankind_n if_o he_o have_v as_o common_o and_o public_o show_v himself_o alive_a after_o his_o resurrection_n as_o before_o his_o death_n to_o all_o the_o people_n for_o in_o such_o a_o case_n what_o a_o man_n see_v himself_o be_v better_a than_o a_o thousand_o witness_n and_o the_o more_o there_o be_v that_o see_v it_o the_o strong_a be_v the_o evidence_n to_o those_o that_o have_v not_o see_v our_o apostle_n foresee_v this_o objection_n and_o that_o the_o jew_n at_o that_o time_n may_v cavil_v at_o what_o the_o witness_n teach_v concern_v our_o saviour_n resurrection_n and_o will_v probable_o say_v if_o he_o be_v rise_v why_o do_v he_o not_o appear_v to_o we_o as_o well_o as_o to_o you_o we_o hear_v he_o teach_v for_o year_n together_o before_o his_o death_n we_o see_v he_o crucify_a and_o know_v that_o he_o die_v and_o if_o he_o be_v rise_v from_o the_o dead_a the_o best_a proof_n of_o it_o to_o we_o be_v to_o have_v he_o show_v himself_o to_o we_o to_o be_v alive_a as_o you_o say_v he_o do_v to_o you_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n prevent_v this_o when_o he_o say_v god_n show_v he_o open_o not_o to_o all_o the_o people_n but_o unto_o witness_n choose_v before_o of_o god_n even_o to_o we_o who_o do_v eat_v and_o drink_v with_o he_o after_o he_o rise_v from_o the_o dead_a where_o the_o apostle_n grant_v that_o christ_n be_v not_o show_v to_o all_o the_o people_n after_o the_o resurrection_n but_o withal_o he_o insinuate_v this_o to_o be_v no_o prejudice_n to_o the_o proof_n of_o it_o forasmuch_o as_o he_o be_v manifest_v to_o witness_n choose_v before_o of_o god_n and_o that_o do_v eat_v and_o drink_v with_o he_o afterward_o in_o which_o there_o be_v several_a thing_n include_v as_o 1._o that_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a that_o christ_n shall_v be_v open_o show_v to_o all_o the_o people_n to_o induce_v and_o oblige_v they_o to_o the_o belief_n of_o his_o resurrection_n 2._o that_o if_o there_o be_v sufficient_a testimony_n of_o it_o by_o person_n in_o all_o respect_v credible_a and_o as_o far_o as_o testimony_n can_v go_v that_o be_v a_o sufficient_a motive_n for_o credibility_n and_o a_o sufficient_a argument_n to_o oblige_v those_o to_o believe_v that_o do_v not_o see_v indeed_o there_o be_v no_o other_o way_n than_o testimony_n to_o induce_v those_o to_o the_o belief_n of_o it_o that_o have_v not_o the_o opportunity_n of_o see_v hear_v eat_v and_o drink_v and_o converse_v with_o our_o saviour_n in_o matter_n depend_v upon_o testimony_n and_o where_o there_o can_v be_v any_o other_o evidence_n as_o it_o be_v in_o matter_n of_o fact_n remote_a in_o time_n or_o place_n all_o that_o be_v to_o be_v rely_v on_o be_v the_o reasonableness_n and_o possibility_n of_o the_o thing_n and_o the_o credibility_n of_o the_o testificator_n as_o to_o the_o possibility_n it_o may_v with_o great_a reason_n be_v ask_v as_o it_o be_v act_n 26._o 8._o why_o shall_v it_o be_v think_v a_o thing_n incredible_a that_o god_n shall_v raise_v the_o dead_a or_o that_o a_o dead_a person_n shall_v revive_v and_o as_o to_o the_o credibility_n of_o the_o person_n what_o can_v be_v a_o great_a evidence_n than_o that_o they_o see_v and_o feel_v that_o he_o have_v flesh_n and_o bone_n 39_o behold_v his_o wound_n 25._o eat_v and_o drink_v and_o for_o 40_o day_n together_o on_o and_o off_o converse_v with_o he_o 3._o so_o that_o the_o proof_n they_o have_v be_v infallible_a 〈◊〉_d and_o
