to take it up again lay down my life by dying to take it up again by rising as easie to take it up as to lay it down to lay down my life as man to take it up again as God Even as he said of the same body to the Jews Destroy you this Temple I will raise it up in three dayes Destroy it then its destructive but raise it up in three dayes there 's his Godhead Thus he spake once let us put them together God and Man Man and God How prove we it The Apostle proves it Heb. 1.1 of Christ thus he was declared mightily to be the Son of God by his resurrection from the dead Whereupon Saint Austin Oh miraculum miraculorum This is a miracle of miracles the Sun of all Suns never the like that one dead should raise himself from the dead this could not be man but God it must needs be as the Apostle to the Colossians The Godhead dwelling in him bodily which raised himself from the dead now beloved from hence it must follow that it was impossible for him to be detained in the grave and S. Peter saith Acts 2. it was impossible for Christ to be detained in the pangs of death it is a word taken from women travailing in child when the throwes and pangs are upon her she cannot contain her burden it must go out Well said Chrysologus of this burden Concepit mortuum peperit vivum Here is a difference then between this womb and all the rest of the world conceiving dead and bringing forth alive and indeed so it must needs bee when Omnipotency is the Midwife as it was with Jonas a type of Christ swallowed up of the Whale the stomach could not digest it it must be cast out Of what use must this be to us the same power that raised him from death to life the same power will give us resurrection to life everlasting even our bodies So the Apostle Phil. 3. He will change our vile bodies and make them like unto his glorious body So much for the second point that I call it an Omnipotent truth The next is that it is also a triumphant truth there are two triumphings of Christ that we read of in Scripture and they are admirable the one is of his Passion and the other not of his but of the general Resurrection the one is an Introduction to the other of his Passion thus Col. 2. He having spoiled principalities and powers made a shew of them openly and triumphed over them on the Cross Here is his triumph he becomes a conquerour over principalities and powers he made a shew of them openly he spoiled them there 's the conquering sold them openly there 's the preparation for the triumph of the people and to look upon all as a conquerour there 's his triumph this triumph thus spokes of it hath allusion unto the triumphs of the world and especially that of the Romane State wherein there was first presented a multitude of Trumpeters sounding out the victory and resounding then came in chariots of spoils spoils of armour spoils of riches the conquerour he sits in the midst looking back unto those noble slaves that came behind their wives their children and all their hands bound about them I will passe no farther in the story enough for application Now I beseech you extend your mind as much as you can that we may behold at least some glimpse of this great victory of our Saviour Christ and of his conquest Here now where was his sight of Majesty he was now giving up the ghost upon the Crosse and behold a triumph why God and Man the Deity never forsook the Manhood no not in his death the vertue of his death was the crucifying of the Devil and all his powers And now I come to the slaves of this triumph the principalities and powers namely the greatest powers that can be conceived in creatures and who should deal with them but he that is above all power Christ our Saviour What doth he spoil them of of all their designs be they never so mischievous he spoils them of all their wiles and prevents them they can do nothing never any thing to the prejudice of the children of God regenerate never any thing that shall work to his overthrow This is that spoil and he leads them as it is here in the other Text open in view he goes not out of sight So that this point is contemplative here is no Cherubims or Seraphims Angels or Archangels but whatsoever can be seen in the world by the mortal eyes that was visibly performed by Christ Thus much for that second triumph and so it shall be in the general resurrection 1 Cor. 15. Oh death where is thy sting Oh Hell or Grave where is thy victory The sting of death is sin and the strength of sin is the law but thanks be to God who hath given us victory through our Lord Jesus Christ Thanks be to God that he hath given us victory in Christ our Lord. Now mark I beseech you the manifold circumstances of this victory in the day of the resurrection of the holy Saints and Martyrs What will become of the Law the Law of God it shall be cancelled no more Law here and the Law it is the strength of sin for if there were no law there were no transgression the law being taken away there is no more sin and as for sins past they are either pardoned or punished in the day of the resurrection Well then but sin it is the sting of death what becomes of death Death it is swallowed up in victory Death 's dead no more giving up of the ghost Come to the Grave Grave where is thy victory When the Trumpets sound and the Angel gives his voice arise ye dead and come unto Judgement they come out of their Graves the Graves are empty But the great enemies are Hell and the Devil Hell where 's thy victory The conquest being before as you heard concerning the passage of the souls of men the gates of Hell are shut up no ingresse nor egresse but all is shut they are all detained as the Apostle saith in the chains of darknesse and torments for ever And this is our victory Thanks be to God that hath given us victory in Christ Jesus our Lord Amen Thus have I ended the Historical point which concern'd us in the evidence of this truth that you have heard that he is risen and of the power thereof All this while we have not learned the causes of this resurrection that belongs to the third part which I said was Analogical and this hath three considerations The first is this Christ here in the Text is to be considered in the first place as the general cause of the Resurrection of the world of men The second consideration is this That he in this Text is the special cause of the resurrection of all the souls everlastingly blessed The third consideration of
