We will believe a man that saith, he both heard and saw the thing he reporteth; yet the Gospel first preached by Christ, in whom there is nothing, but it makes him worthy to believed, after confirmed by the Apostles, who were eye-witnesses, and ear-witnesses of all that was done, cannot we be drawn to believe: Joh. 7.48.
