Mark. 3. The rocks rent. Math. 4. The Graves, viz. that were in the rocks, broken open; many Bodies of Saints which slept, arose and came out of the graves after the resurrection of Christ, and went into the holy city and appeared to many. Math. 5. The Sun brightened suddenly at the ninth hour, about the time when Jesus Christ dyed. Math. Mar. Luk. 6. The death of Jesus Christ being sooner then Pilate and the Jews looked for, and afore the Thieves, it prevented that part of the Romish and Jewish cruelty, which was intended, in breaking his legs: yet they pierced his side with a spear, and there came forth blood and water. Joh. 19.31. ad 38. 7. The Centurion that had charge of the watch that day, was converted. Mat. Mar. Luke. 8. Many more of those upon the Watch, and of the Spectators, were convinced, if not converted. Math. Luke.
