The Fountain of Life Opened

WE have finished the Doctrine of Christs humiliation wherein the Sun of righteousness appeared to you as a setting Sun, gone out of sight; but as the Sun when it's gone down to us, begins a new day in another part of the world, so Christ having finished his course and work in this world; rises again and that in order to the acting another glorious part of his work in the world above. In his death he was upon the matter totally Eclipsed, but in his Resurrection he begins to recover his light and glory again. God never intended that the darling of his soul, should be lost in an obscure Sepulchre. An Angel descends from heaven to roll away the stone, and with it the reproach of his death. And to be the heavenly Herald to proclaim his Resurrection to the two Mary's, whose love to Christ ⟨p. 545⟩had at this time drawn them to visit the Sepulchre, where they lately left him.

At this time, (the Lord being newly risen) the keepers were trembling, and become as dead men. So great was the terrible Majesty and awful solemnity attending Christs Resurrection: but to encourage these good souls, the Angel prevents them with these good tidings. He is not here, for he is risen as he said; come, see the place where the Lord lay, q. d. Be not troubled, though you have not the end you came for, one sight more of your dear, though dead Jesus; yet you have not lost your labour; for to your eternal comfort I tell you, he is risen; as he said. And to put it out of doubt, come hither, and satisfy your selves, see the place where the Lord lay.
