it dye it bringeth forth much fruit 1 Cor. 15.36 And the Apostle when that question was asked How are the Dead raised up Replies presently Thou Fool that which thou sowest is not quickened except it dye implying it to be nothing else but direct Folly to question that which in a thing so obvious as the sowing of Corn might be concluded not only Possible but Necessary Since Man is beyond many grains and more especially the Object ofGods care and Compassion For whose Instruction he hath scattered about the World so many Preludiums and Rudiments of a better Resurrection 2. The Resurrection is necessary because it demonstrates Gods Justice Were it not for Future Judgment nothing would be so full of Confusion and Disorder as the World This Earth in the present Polity and Frame of it is nothing else but a meer Chaos where Vice and Iniquity thrive as in their own soyl but Virtue and Piety do find neither Place nor Protection It must be 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 That day of Reckoning to be reveal'd in Fire which must absolve Providence and scatter those Mists wherewith the beauty of it is now obscured and stained It is this that must stop men in their Carier of sin and keep them honest in the dark For in that sacred Irony of the Wise man Rejoyce Eccl. 11.9 O young man in thy youth and walk in the waies of thy heart and in the sight of thy eyes but know thou that for all these things God will bring thee to judgement which is all one as if he had said Go young man sin if thou darest for thou must hereafter come to judgement Eccl. 9.2 In this world All things come alike to all God scatters his good things with an undistinguishing hand tanquam Missilia Coeli as his Largesses and signs of his promiscuous Bounty rather than marks of his especial Love But future Judgement is Gods severing time called by the Apostle the time 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Act. 3.21 i.e. of setting all things right of placing every thing upon its proper Basis and giving all their due Now to this the Resurrection of the body is necessary For we must all appear 2 Cor. 55.10 saith the Apostle Paul before the Judgement-Seat of Christ that every one may receive the things done in his body according to that he hath done whether it be good or evill In the Law we find That the soul that sinneth must dye and it is most just that the body which did joyn in the sin should likewise partake in the punishment Those dear Allies were not separated in their good or evill doing and therefore there is no reason they should be distinct in their Reward I carry about me saith the Apostle the dying of the Lord Jesus i.e. I lead a kind of dying and Calamitous life for his sake that so the life also of Jesus might be manifested in my mortal Flesh In requital of all our Indignities 2 Joh 8. Imprisonments Fastings c. if the soul only should be glorified we should not have a full reward which it is our duty to look after And therefore this Hand this Tongue this Eye This whatever it is whereby God hath been either provoked or honoured shall be quickned again and put into the possession of a never-dying life and fitted for the enjoyment of eternal either Joy or Torment Thirdly Reason 3 The Last Argument which makes the Doctrine of the Resurrection credible is from the evidence and certainty of it since it hath been so as that withall it necessarily implies that it shall be For Christ is Risen and taken possession of glory not only for himself but for his Followers 1 Cor. 15.14 Now if Christ be preached as the Apostle argues that he rose from the Dead how say some among you that there is no Resurrection of the dead V. Garbut Remonst As if he had said If you barely considered the Resurrection in it self you might then have something to plead in the excuse of your Unbelief but since Christ is Risen there is no longer any room left for the least dispute about it For Christ is risen either as a Judge or as an Head and therefore all must rise the wicked to be condemned the faithful to be saved by him The Use of this may serve to demonstrate two things 1. The Reasonableness of Christian Faith 2. The Necessity of Christian Life Use 1 This serves to demonstrate the Reasonableness of Christian Faith As when God would convince the Heathen that their Idols were not Gods he challenges them to produce their strong Reasons and to prove their Cause by Arguments Shew Isa 41.23 saith he the things that are to come hereafter that we may know that ye are Gods yea do good or do evill that we may be dismaied i.e. If ye are indeed as your Worshippers suppose Gods then shew it by those infallible and unalterable signs of a Diety viz. Your Prescience and your Power So may a Christian say in this Case he may and ought to challenge the unbelieving World to produce their strong Reasons to declare their Cause and to see whether they have so much to say even in point of Reason for the most clear and un questioned part of their Opinion as we have for the most contradicted of ours For a Christian should not satisfie himself with a bare and naked Faith grounding himself either upon Tradition or the credit of his Teachers but he should labour for himself If to know both what and why he believes It is a general Rule the Apostle Peter gives 1 Pet. 3.15 Be ye alwaies ready to give an account of your Faith to every one that asks you And our Saviour though he did press his Followers to believe on him yet he never did require from them Orig. lib. 1. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 as the Heathen falsly objected i.e. An unreasonable and Untried Faith but where ever he gives the Command he alleadges at the same time Reasons sufficient to convince the most obstinate gainsayer such are the heavenliness of his Language Joh. 15.22 Had I not saith he come and spoke unto them they had not had sin but now they have no cloak for their sin For his words by their own confession were such as never any man spake and carried a clear Resemblance to the body he took as being most humble in stile and most sublime in sense Joh. 3. And therefore he complains of them Why saith he do ye not know 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 i.e. discern who I am by my manner of discourse amongst you for certainly such words could not proceed from one who came to deceive the world as those replied These are not the words of him that hath a devil Joh. 10.21 Another Argument our Saviour uses to induce them to believe was his Works which Nicodemus confesseth were such as never any man did Joh. 5.36 And
