Answ. Yes.
Q. How?
Answ. First, from that Scripture in Luke 24. 37, 38, 39, 40. where Christ himself after •he was crucified appeared to his Disciples, (who having seen him) supposed they had seen a Spirit. But he said, Why are ye troubled, and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? behold my hand and my feet, that it is I my self, and do not think you see a spirit; handle me, and see, for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me ⟨p. 196⟩have. This he spake after he was crucified, Luke 23. 33. and buried, v. 53. and rose again from the dead, chap. 24. 6, 7. Many other Scriptures could I give for the proof hereof, as Acts 10. 39, 40, 41, 42. And Acts 13. 28, 29, 30, 31. 1 Thess. 1. 10. only read Acts 2. 29, 30, 31. where the Apostle proveth the same, bringing in the words of the Prophet David for a testimony thereof, saying, He being a Prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins according to the flesh he would raise up Christ to sit on his Throne (saith) he seeing this before, spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption. Mark it, his flesh did see no corruption, v. 31. But if he had not risen again, his flesh had seen corruption. But he rose again from the dead, that very man, that very body;
