¹Is Christ risen from the dead, and that as a public person and representative of believers? How are we all concerned then to secure to our selves an interest in Christ, and consequently to this blessed Resurrection? What consolation would be left in this world, if the hope of the Resurrection were taken away? 'Tis this blessed hope that must support you under all the Troubles of life, and in the Agonies of Death. The securing of a blessed Resurrection to your selves, is therefore the most deep concernment you have in this world. And it may be secured to your selves, if upon serious heart examination you can discover the following Evidences.

Evidence 1. First, If you are regenerated Creatures, brought forth in a new nature to God, for we are begotten again to a lively hope, by the Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. Christs Resurrection is the ground-work of our hope. And the new birth is our title or evidence of our interest in it. So that until our souls are partakers of the spiritual Resurrection from the death of sin, we can have no assurance our bodies shall be partakers of that blessed Resurrection to life.
