For although we our selves have not seen these things, yet we must as strongly and firmly believe them, as if we our selves had seen them with our eyes, John 20. 29. This pertains unto the thankfulness which we owe u•to God, that he would not barely declare unto us his will, but also confirm it by testimonies, Luke 1. 2. For this was one of the special offices of the Apostles, to witness those things which they had seen of Christ, Acts 1. 22. & 2 32.
