2. The Scriptures reveal his will herein; be that in the Scriptures hath promised that he will raise the dead, being (o powerful and faithful, he will certainly do it; but God hath promised in the Scriptures, that he will raise the dead. And though in the old Testament the Doctrine of the Resurrection be spoken of more obscurely yet our Saviour fetcheth a proof of the Doctrine out of the Book of Moses, which the Sadducees (as is observed) did only acknowledge. Vers. 31, 32 As touching the Resurrection of the Dead have y•e not read what was said to you by God, I am the God of Abraham, &c. God is not the God of the dead, but of the living; our Saviour proves the Doctrine by strong inference drawn from this place, which needs a little opening to perceive the Argument.

It is not unlikely but our Saviour cleared the thing in more words, (for we have but the heads in Scripture of many things which were delivered in large discourses) he made it so clear that it satisfied the people, and silenced the Sadducees.
