CHAP. 2. That the Lord verily arose with his body.
CHAP. 2. That the Lord verely arose vvith his body.
That our lord Jesus Christ, with his own very true body, did verily arise from the dead, ⟨p. 4⟩it shall be expedient afore all things to testify & prove. Therefore let the first witness, even our Lord Jesus Christ himself, come forth now and bear us record out of the Prophets, concerning his true resurrection.1 Like as Jonah (saith he) was three days and three nights in the whales belly, so shall the son of man be three days & three nights in the hart of the earth. Now did not the fish cast up to the dry land any other for Jonah, but even the same Jonah himself, whom he had swallowed. Therefore the very same true body of the Lord also, that was buried, arose again. Which thing the holy Apostle ⟨p. 5⟩Paul minding perfectly to express, said:2 first of all I delivered unto you (or taught you) that which I received: how that Christ died for our sins, agreeing to the scriptures: and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day, according to the scriptures.

Therefore let the first witnes, euen our Lorde Iesus Christ hīselfe, come forth now and beare vs recorde out of the Prophets, concerning hys true resurrectiō.
