But his Resurrection they peremptorily deny. Now the Apostles being ⟨p. 469⟩sent to convert the World, were to •ay this down as the foundation of their Preaching, that Jesus Christ was raised from the dead, that all might yield Faith and Obedience to Him. This was then special charge, as St. Peter declares,1 Wherefore of th•se men which have companied with us, all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, beginning from the Baptism of John, unto the same day that He was taken up from us, must be one ordained to be a witness of his Resurrection. They were to testify concerning His Doctrine and Life, His Miracles and Sufferings, but principally His Resurrection. For this reason St. Paul, who was extraordinarily admitted into their Order, had a miraculous Sight of Christ from Heaven (Last of all He was seen of me) to testify it to the World. Now for our full conviction,2 'tis necessary to consider the quality of the Witnesses, and the nature of their Testimony.
