HOw oftē and to what persons our Lord and Sauiour appeared betwen his Resurrection and Ascension besides the apparitions here to fore mentioned is vnknowne to al mortal creatures Neuertheles we may not doubt but he often appeared to his blessed mother who for manie causes best of al others deserued his most comfortable conuersation And it is also vndoubtedly beleeued that he appeared somtimes to his seruants Enoch and Elias as yet liuing in their mortal bodies in the terrestrial paradise And that he appeared often to his Apostles and familiarly conuersed vvith them not only the Anciēt Fathers but also the holie Scriptures do testifie affirming that he shewed him selfe aliue to them after his Passion in manie arguments for fourtie daies appearing to them and speaking of the kingdom of God to vvit of the Church and of al functions and offices to be done therin Amongst other things he instituteth the rest of the seuen Sacraments not instituted before and ge●eth ful authoritie powre and commission ●o his militant Church for the bringing of ●oules into the Church triūphāt the soules deliuered from Limbo the meane while ●olowing him whither soeuer he goeth 1.
