(2.) The Resurrection of the Dead. Acts 2.36. My flesh shall rest in Hope. Acts 24.15. I have hope towards God, tha• there shall be a Resurrection both of the Just and Unjust. Acts 26.6, 7, 8. Now I stand judged for the hope of the Promise made unto the Fathers, unto which Promise our twelve Tri•es instantly serving God day and night, hope to come. Why should it be thought an incredible thing with you that God should raise the Dead? Death seemeth to make void all the Promises at once, but there is an estate after Death, the Dead shall rise; and to Men bred up in the Bosom of the Church, this should not seem incredible: It is not incredible in it self, considering the Justice and Power of God.
