A85735	A demonstration of the resurrection of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ; and therein of the Christian religion. Very usefull for the further satisfaction and confirmation of all good Christians; as likewise for the confutation and conviction of those that have a Jewish or atheisticall spirit in them. / Written by Richard Garbutt, Bachelour in Divinity, sometimes fellow of Sydney Colledge in Cambridge, and afterwards preacher of the Gospel at Leeds in Yorshire [sic].	Garbutt, Richard.; Jackson, Nathaniel, d. 1662.; Cartwright, Christopher, 1602-1658.	1656 (1656)	Wing G207; Thomason E1693_1; ESTC R202150	67,066	193

a_o horrid_a manner_n three_o they_o have_v a_o vision_n of_o angel_n that_o affirm_v unto_o the_o woman_n that_o he_o be_v rise_v and_o withal_o remember_v they_o that_o it_o be_v but_o as_o he_o

again_o for_o the_o apparition_n to_o the_o two_o disciple_n by_o the_o way_n you_o have_v these_o two_o circumstance_n first_o their_o heart_n extraordinary_o burn_v within_o they_o while_o he_o

the_o apostle_n when_o thomas_n be_v absent_a you_o have_v two_o circumstance_n that_o be_v most_o demonstrative_a of_o a_o true_a live_a body_n first_o this_o handle_v i_o and_o see_v i_o for_o a_o
