The Resurrection Asserted IN A SERMON Preached to the UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD ON EASTER-DAY 1679. By JOHN WALLIS D. D. Professor of Geometry in the said UNIVERSITY One of his Majesties Chaplains in Ordinary and a Member of the Royall Society OXFORD Printed by HEN HALL for JAMES GOOD 1679. A SERMON Preached on EASTER-DAY 1679. TO THE UNIVERSITY of OXFORD At St. Peters in the East 1. Cor. 15.20 Christ is Risen from the Dead and is become the First-fruits of them that Slept THese Words without farther Preface contain Two main Articles of our Christian Faith Both proper for this Occasion The Resurrection of Christ and That of Ourselves The former in these words Christ is Risen from the Dead The latter in those that follow And is become the First-fruits of them that slept Both which are argued at large in this Chapter And are now to be the subject of our Discourse As to the Apostles manner of Arguing these Points We are to consider That it was an usual Practice of our Apostle as it was also of other holy writers in asserting the Trueths of God to accōmodate his Arguments to the Princip●es Concessions of those with whom he did discourse Which though to persons of other Principles they might seem less significant were a● lest to Them Cogent Arguments For it is true in other Sciences as well as Mathematicks That till there be some Data some Concessions agreed upon there can be no Demonstration To him that Owns nothing we can Prove nothing And he that Knows nothing can be Taught nothing For it is by the Help of what we Know that we are to be Taught what we Know-not When he had to do with those at Athens Acts 17. Inciting them to the Worship of the True God the God that made Heaven and Earth He makes use of a Concession of their own Poet Aratus to that purpose 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 For we are also his Off-spring Not by ordinary Generation But in a like sense with that Luke 3. which was the son of Adam which was the son of God And in the same sense we are to understand that of Orpheus to the same purpose 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 There is but One that Is of himself and All things else are the Progeny of this One. For though they had their Daemons and Middling Gods Deos medioxumos as the Papists have their Saints and Angels for particular purposes For the Sheep for the Cow for the't Anthony Pig Pan curat Oves oviumque Magistros Yet beside these Deasters they did acknowledge one Soveraign Deity who was Superior to all them 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 And That from Him all Mankind as well as other Creatures received their first Originall And That Him therefore they ought to Worship And Aratus in the place cited by St. Paul owns the consequence 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Let us in the first place make our Application to Him For from Him it is that we have our first Original With much more to be there seen of like import Which St Paul summes up to this purpose That He made the World and all things therein That He is Lord of Heaven and Earth That He gives Life and Breath and All things That He Orders and Disposeth of Tim●s Persons and Places Of one Blood He made all Man-kind and Determined their fore-appointed Times and the Bounds of their Habitations That in Him we Live and Move and have our Being and That he is not far from every one of us That we are his Off-spring And That Him therefore we ought to seek and serve From whence the Apostle doth farther inferre as well he might from those Principles That we ought to have more Reverent Thoughts of so August a Deity than to think Him confined to Temples made with Hands or standing in Need of our service or Likened to Gold or Silver or Stones graven by mens Art and according to their Devise or Fansy And that it should not be thought Unreasonable that He should one day Judge the World in righteousness by that Man ordained thereunto Of whom he hath already given good Assurance in Raising him from the Dead Thus he argues for the Resurrection and a Future state with them at Athens When he had to do with the Jews in the Epistle to the Hebrews for I take St. Paul to be the Authour of that Epistle From the Jewish Worship and Ceremonies he argues the trueth of the Christian Doctrine Which to those at Athens who did no more own the Jewish than the Christian Doctrine would have been insignificant Like as on all occasions where he hath to deal with the Jews he argues from Testimonies of the Old Testament to prove the Doctrines of the New And that of the Resurrection among the rest The New Jerusalem that is Above typified by that Below The Heavenly Jerusalem by that on Earth And Heaven itself by the Holy places made with hands which are the Figures of the True And Jesus the mediator of a new Covenant of a Better Covenant than that delivered by Moses but typified thereby A Priest for ever after the order of Melchisedek Our great High-Priest who is Passed into the Heavens typified by the Levitical Priesthood This One by those Many And his Perfect oblation once for all by those Manifold Oblations which were therefore Repeated because Imperfect And his entring into Heaven once for all there to sit down at Gods right hand by theirs into the most Holy Place once a year Whither we also are to enter within the vail by the new and living way which he hath consecrated for us Whither our Fore-runner is For Vs entred and being himself made perfect is become the Author of Eternal Salvation to those that obey him The Law being but a Figure for the time present A shadow of good things to come whereof the Body is Christ. In like manner to the Jews at Antioch in Pisidia Act. 13. He doth by undeniable Arguments drawn from Testimonies of the Old Testament evince the certain●y of Christs Resurrection And that of Him was principally intended what was said of David but in Type Thou wilt not leave my soul in Hell nor suffer thine Holy one to see Corruption As St. Peter had also done to those at Jerusalem Act. 2. And our Saviour himself Mat. 22. Argues with the Sadduces for the Doctrine of the Resurrection from a Testimony of Moses who 's writings the Sadduces did admit though perhaps not those of the other Prophets I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. Now God is not the God of the Dead but of the Living Where also he contents himself to prove the Existence of Abraham Isaac and Jacob that they were then in Being when this was said to Moses and consequently That the Soul
