Lo, what can be spoken more evident and plain? He that died for our sins, and was buried, even he himself the very same rose also again. Of this now it followeth, that the very true substantial body of our lord did rise again: for even the same died & was buried. But to the intent that it might the sooner be believed, Paul the holy teacher declareth ⟨p. 6⟩furthermore, that he speaketh this according to the contents of scripture, and that the same was taught in the scriptures afore, meaning undoubtedly the law & the Prophets.

Nevertheless, we will now bring forth the true and evident testimonies of the Angels, who in Mark,1 Luke and Matthew, speak unto the women that came to the sepulchre: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, him that was crucified. Why seek ye the living among the dead? He is risen, he is not here. Behold the place where they had laid him. Remember how he spake unto you, while he was yet in Galilee, saying, ⟨p. 7⟩that the son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, & the third day rise again. Therefore go quickly, and tell this to his disciples, that he is risen from the dead. And behold he shall go before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he himself told you.
