Saint Peter likewise to show, that we ought to believe in Jesus Christ,1 bringeth for proof hereof none other thing but his resurrection. Let us therefore observe, that when Saint Luke sayeth, that Jesus christ showed himself alive, he speaketh of a thing that was requisite for the assurance of our salvation. Wherefore, if we would have the principal point of Christianity, we must come to this resurrection, by which he purchased for us life and salvation, and showed himself to be the very Son of God.
Saint Peter likewise to shew, that wée ought to beléeue in Iesus Christ,1 bringeth for proofe héereof none other thing but his resurrection. Let vs therefore obserue, that when Saint Luke sayeth, that Iesus christ shewed himselfe aliue, he speaketh of a thing that was requisit for the assurance of our saluation. Wherefore, if wée woulde haue the principall poynt of Christianitie, wée must come to this resurrection, by which hee purchased for vs lyfe and saluation, and shewed himselfe to bée the very Sonne of God.
Moreover, let us also learn, that since Saint Luke sayeth, that Jesus Christ hath made us such proofs of his resurrection, let us not call that thing into question, which God himself hath so well approved.
