suffice to make them believe their owne
salvation ? Women saw Christ, mciVtbuuh
ed him, the nnboleevers felt him with
their liugc-s ; he did eate anil drinkc, and
was conversant among them disci's tin.es,
and many dayes: and yet ali this they
stoutly deny. But Pilate .witnessed it;
and the Apostles being earst astonished at
it, did afterward preach it, publish it, and
signe it with their blood. He whom the
Chambermaid had made amazed and who
had denied him three times in one houre
when he Was alive; did preach and pub
lish him even in Jerusalem before the
magistrates, and before the Priests; and
no threats could make him hold his peace.
If Christ rotted in hia grave: what hope
of benefit was to be had of his dead car

U-ged peter to preach him ? Who (sa. 1)
