place This fire from Heaven 2 Acts 3. is to melt us into pity not like that mentioned 9 Luke 54. to destroy presently all who dislike us who savoureth of the gall of bitterness v. 23. hath no part nor lot in this Gift Lastly Where this Gift is received the love of God hereby so shed abroad in the heart 5 Rom. 5. will necessarily run out at the mouth in all joyful Expressions of gratitude saying Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable Gift 2 Cor. 9. c. 15. This effect it wrought on the Gentiles on whom it was poured out 10 Acts 46. they presently found new Tongues to magnifie God They that have taken this Gift cannot but be taken with it and for the Gift sake with the day it descended on Therefore let us keep the Feast 1 Cor. 5. c. 8. 3. Let us labour after this inestimable Gift 1. By Prayer 'T is called the Spirit of Supplication 12 Zech. 10. not only because it helps our infirmities in Prayer 8 Rom. 26. but also by it it is attained we draw in this Holy Breath 20 Joh. 22. by opening our mouths in Petitioning to God for it 11 Luke 13. 2. By Hearing Thus St. Peter's Auditory 2 Acts 1. and Cornelius and his Family received it Acts 10. c. 44. As in naturalibus in things natural faith Bishop Andrews the Breath and the voice go together so the Spirit and the Word in the practice of Religion The Lord was found most chiefly in the Voice 1 King 19. c. 12. His Spirit is an Instructive Word 30 Isa 21. and descends as on this day in Tongues 2 Acts 3. 3. By the Sacraments The Spirit of God moveth upon the Water in Baptisme and necessarily accompanieth the Body and Blood of Christ in the Lords Supper 2 Act. 38. Repent and be baptized and ye shall receive the Gift of the Holy Ghost So is this Gift given us by Christs giving us himself to eat 6 Jo. 57. He that eateth me he shall live by me now if the breath and the spirit be all one 20 Joh. 22. so is the breath and life 2 Gen. 7. and the spirit and the life 6 Joh. 63. They then that can make Christ a Body in the Eucharist must make him his spirit too since they cannot be severed for saith Bishop Andrews The flesh that was conceived by the Holy Ghost this is never without the Holy Ghost by whom it was conceived and so they can do more for him than they can for themselves for who can give himself life or Being No the Body and Blood of Christ whereby we receive his Spirit are verily and indeed saith our Church-Catechism taken of the faithful spiritually not by sence 2 Cor. 5. c. 16. in the Lords Supper Thus is our Soul refreshed by his flesh in the bread and his blood in the wine and ever with this blood there runneth an Artery with plenty of Spirit in it This cup is a cup of the Spirit 1 Cor. 12. c. 13. as may easily be perceived by that strange enlivening wrought in us after the drinking it then how lyes the Soul prostrate with joy at the feet of her dear Saviour ravished with the sence of her pardon and the assurance of Gods love now she hath received a fresh life of devotion whereby she casts off her old corruptions resolves upon new obedience and is transported with thankfulness These are the effects of Gods inestimable Gift the Spirit received in the Sacrament which though it cannot be found in the Veins of the richest Mines not to be purchased with Money yet here it is to be found in the streams of Christs blood and that we may so find it God of his infinite mercy grant c.

the Messiah it was no delusion of theirs but a real transaction by that hand that is omnipotent 3. Let me add The Devil that grand Politician of Hell would not be such an enemy to himself as to give Christianity such a huge advance by counterfeiting the Resurrection of Christ especially now at such a time when through the foregoing Prophecies concerning him and his late Testimony of himself in his life all so expected it 4. Every thing look'd exactly like a real Resurrection 28 Mat. v. 2 3 4. The watch felt the Earthquake in their own fearful shaking saw the Angel roll the Stone from the Sepulchre 20 Jo. c. 21. Peter looks into the Sepulchre finds no Body of Christ there Christ himself immediately after appears to his Disciples eat and drank with them they felt his flesh put their fingers into his wounds what greater demonstration could there be to convince any indifferent men of the reality of his Resurrection 5. Those Miracles he did while he was alive being so genuine and reall as they were must needs beget faith in the unprejudiced that his Resurrection was real also the same power in him that raised Lazarus four dayes dead 11 Jo. 39. could as easily raise himself the third day Lastly Fas est ab hoste doceri His enemies false tale raised 28 Mat. 13. to put off the belief of his Resurrection being so idle and unlikely gives us the greater perswasion of the truth of it Say ye his Disciples came by night and stole him away whilest we slept There must be good words large money v. 12. and a fair promise of securing their necks v. 14. e're they can prevail with the Souldiers to blaze abroad such an improbable story It was unlikely the watch should sleep there being so severe a punishment to the delinquents in this case Say they did sleep how could they tell who stole him or how could they once imagine it to be the Disciples What had they more courage for their Lord dead than living 26 Mat. 56. or if they were the Disciples vvhere do we read they were ever arraigned and prosecuted for this notorious cheat They were very merciful to forgive them that they were never guilty of No They secured the Sepulchre as it had been for their lives rolling a stone before the door of it so bigg 16 Mar. 3 4. no ordinary strength could so sealed 27 Mat. 26. the greatest durst not remove it till the Angels are commanded to become Porters to their rising Lord 28 Mat. 2. and Preachers of him to us v. 6. He is risen The Lord is risen indeed Object How comes it to pass the chief Priests and Rulers being so necessarily convicted of Christs Resurrection from the Souldiers 28 Mat. 11. did not yield to confess it Ans Because they would rather baulk their Consciences than their reputation in the acknowledgement of so hainous an error What a blurr had it been to them to have Crucified their Messiah with their own hands had they owned him for such For had they known him saith St. Paul they would never have done it 1 Cor. 2.8 now that such knowing men should not know him you shall never know by their after-acknowledging him Are we blind also 9 Jo. 40. so sticks in their stomach they will not endure to hear it and therefore having proceeded so far in denying him by putting him to death they cannot in honour draw back but must deny him in his Resurrection also though never so plain and evident Su●rexit Domino verè The Lord is risen indeed 2. Obj. If the Lo●d be risen indeed hath virally actuated that very body that lay in the Grave what means his appearing and disappearing at pleasure and coming to his Disciples when the doors were shut this is rather spirit-like v. 37. than suitable to the nature of a real body v. 39. flesh and bones Answ Christ saith Dr. Moor in his Myst of Godl p. 141. gave a specimen of a wonderful power residing in him in his transfiguration on the mount and that he carried that about him then that was able to swallow up mortality into life though it was usually restrained as a light in a dark I anthorn His Divinity therefore with his inward exalted humanity I mean his Soul took hold again of his Body and did vitally irradiate it so that he was as naturally united with it as any Angel with his own vehicle or any Soul of man or any other Animal with their Bodies Nor was it any greater wonder that Christ should rarifie his body into a disappearing tenuity then that Angels and Spirits condensate their vehicles into the visibility and palpability of a Terrestrial body the same numerical matter still remaining in both 2. Christ hereby might discover the pure refined nature and spiritual agility of our bodies after the Resurrection when they shall be made like unto his glorious Body 3 Phil. 21. 3. Christ hereby shewed he was not constantly to be resident with us in his corporal presence and so we to apprehend him by faith not by sence 2 Cor. 5. ch 26. Sometimes he appears and suffers himself to be handled by his Disciples to demonstrate to their sence the truth of his Resurrection who were to be zealous asserters and infallible witnessers of it to the world Anon he withdraws to exercise them and us in a spiritual apprehension of him invisible 11 Heb. 27. Blessed are they that have not seen and yet have believed 20 Joh. 29. So much now for the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Surrexit verè the reality of Christs resurrection The Lord is risen indeed The benefit hereof follows as 1. This convinceth us of his Deity his Surrexit speaks him to be Dominus his being risen speaks him to be the Lord He is risen indeed he and not another no man ever before him 19 Jo. 41. lay in that tomb and so was he raised too by his own power not by anothers vertue like him who revived at the touching of Elisha's bonds 2 K. 13. c. 21. 2 Jo. 19 21. and 10 c. 18. He is risen indeed His was a real resurrection from death for they left him not till they had his very * There is about mans heart they say a Skin called Pericardium containing in it water which cools and moistens the heart lest it should be scorched with continual motion this skin once pierced man cannot live heart blood out 19 Jo 34. no delusive awakening from a Lethargie or some ob-stupifying disease 1. The Reality of his resurrection proves the reality of his divine nature in that he is risen indeed he is the Lord indeed and so able to do infinitely for us in delivering us from all evil and replenishing us with all good things 2. The Reality of Christs Resurrection is the only confirmation of our faith in him to be the true Messiah ve●se 21. ●his day decided him to be the Redeemer of Israel 1 Cor. 15. c. 14.17 If
