That our Lord Jesus Christ, though laid, was not lost in the Grave; but the third day revived and rose again, is a truth confirmed to us by many infallible proofs as Luke witnesseth, Act. 1.3. We have Testimonies of it both from heaven and earth, and both infallible. From Heaven we have the Testimony of Angels, and to the Testimony of an Angel all credit is due; for Angels are holy Creatures and cannot deceive us. The Angel tells the two Mary's in the Text, he is risen. We have Testimonies of it from men, holy men, who were eye witnesses of this truth, to whom he showed himself alive by the space of forty days after his Resurrection by no less than *nine solemn Apparitions to them. Sometime five hundred Brethren saw him at once, 1 Cor. 15.6. These were holy persons who durst not deceive, and who confirmed their Testimony with their blood. So that no point of Religion is of more confessed truth, and infallible certainty than this before us.
