Nor is it meant of his Resurrection from death, worthy of all admiration. When out of a Sepulchre, a sepulchre not of earth, but of Stone, one entire stone without any seam or fissure in it: another stone rolled to it, that stone sealed th•• seal guarded: the Lord arose, bursting the bands of death, and triumphing over the grave: manifesting himself to one, to two, to ten, to more than five hundred brethren at once, and thus dwelling on the earth forty days!

Lastly, it is not referred to his triumphant Ascension; when he led captivity captive, and went up gloriously to the place whence he came. At this the Apostles were present, beholding while he was taken up, Act. 1.9. He was received out of their sight, therefore till that moment they had the sight of him. They saw the Angels the testified it; Why stand ye gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus shall come from heaven, in the like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. They saw him, and they worshipped him, Luk. 24.52. Here was also an apparent manifestation of his majesty. Act. 1.8. Ye shall be witnesses unto me. Himself told them immediately before, that they should be witnesses of this: and here was a sufficient Majesty for their testimony, and they gave a sufficient testimony of that Majesty.
