Another Argument is the sign of the Prophet Jonah. He, even Jonah, was three days and three nights in the whales belly, Jonah 1. 17. And Jesus makes this very thing an argument to the Jews that he was the true Messiah, where he saith, A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign, that is, they would have me to show them a sign to prove, that I am the Saviour, & there shall no sign be given to them, but the sign of the prophet Jonah. For as Jonah wa• Three days: and three nights in the whales belly, so shall the So• of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth, ⟨p. 35⟩Mat. 12. 39, 40.

But God raised him up the third day, & showed him openly, Acts 10. 40.
