they_o believe_v though_o one_o rise_v from_o the_o dead_a and_o this_o method_n of_o proof_n he_o take_v to_o persuade_v his_o own_o disciple_n though_o these_o man_n have_v see_v he_o often_o and_o

all_o so_o plain_o foretell_v by_o our_o saviour_n himself_o and_o the_o impression_n of_o his_o prediction_n wrought_v with_o such_o force_n upon_o the_o mind_n of_o his_o enemy_n that_o his_o very_a

of_o such_o further_a evidence_n that_o they_o be_v at_o charge_n to_o stifle_v what_o they_o therefore_o want_v the_o impudence_n to_o deny_v for_o next_o to_o the_o angel_n the_o guard_n that_o be_v hire_v to_o keep_v he_o prisoner_n in_o the_o grave_a be_v some_o of_o the_o first_o evangelist_n to_o publish_v the_o truth_n of_o his_o resurrection_n mat._n 28.11_o so_o that_o upon_o their_o

real_a disbelief_n of_o it_o when_o they_o have_v observe_v the_o ancient_a prophecy_n be_v verify_v in_o he_o with_o respect_n to_o some_o of_o the_o minute_a circumstance_n and_o transaction_n of_o his_o life_n yea_o when_o they_o have_v see_v several_a person_n who_o they_o have_v know_v true_o dead_a be_v restore_v to_o life_n by_o he_o and_o one_o particular_o lazarus_n by_o name_n not_o only_o dead_a but_o rot_a now_o be_v it_o likely_a or_o can_v they_o imagine_v that_o he_o that_o have_v give_v such_o evidence_n of_o his_o almighty_a power_n and_o so_o open_o display_v his_o conquest_n over_o the_o grave_a be_v liable_a himself_o to_o be_v hold_v captive_a by_o the_o enemy_n he_o have_v vanquish_v upon_o the_o whole_a then_o if_o christ_n as_o you_o have_v hear_v lay_v the_o great_a weight_n upon_o and_o chief_o appeal_v unto_o the_o ancient_a prophecy_n that_o foretell_v his_o resurrection_n our_o modern_a atheist_n and_o infidel_n have_v nothing_o to_o do_v but_o to_o examine_v whether_o there_o be_v any_o prophecy_n extant_a of_o such_o a_o date_n and_o if_o they_o find_v any_o such_o they_o must_v in_o spite_n of_o their_o tooth_n confess_v that_o the_o accomplishment_n of_o they_o be_v a_o immovable_a testimony_n to_o the_o foreknowledge_n and_o wisdom_n to_o the_o infinite_a power_n and_o truth_n of_o god_n again_o that_o what_o be_v thus_o prophesy_v of_o christ_n and_o particular_o of_o his_o resurrection_n have_v according_o be_v fulfil_v this_o god_n himself_o have_v bear_v such_o undeniable_a witness_n unto_o both_o with_o sign_n and_o wonder_n and_o divers_a miracle_n and_o gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n according_a to_o his_o own_o will_n as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v heb._n 2.4_o that_o the_o infidel_n have_v not_o the_o least_o colour_n of_o pretence_n to_o dispute_v its_o evidence_n insomuch_o that_o his_o wit_n and_o malice_n be_v quite_o exhaust_v upon_o the_o argument_n and_o except_o we_o will_v admit_v of_o scoff_v for_o objection_n and_o grimaces_n for_o confutation_n the_o poor_a atheist_n and_o his_o cause_n be_v ruin_v for_o whatever_o reason_n he_o bring_v to_o weaken_v or_o subvert_v the_o credit_n of_o this_o doctrine_n or_o of_o they_o that_o have_v testify_v to_o the_o truth_n of_o it_o will_v equal_o affect_v his_o own_o credit_n though_o what_o he_o affirm_v be_v real_o never_o so_o true_a and_o though_o it_o be_v infinite_o his_o interest_n that_o it_o obtain_v belief_n wherefore_o all_o that_o i_o shall_v here_o further_o add_v upon_o this_o argument_n be_v that_o upon_o the_o
