A45354	A defence of revealed religion in six sermons upon Rom. I, 16 : wherein it is clearly and plainly shown that no man can possibly have any real ground or reason to be ashamed of Christianity / by Henry Hallywell.	Hallywell, Henry, d. 1703?	1694 (1694)	Wing H459; ESTC R26653	55,183	216

falsehood_n as_o they_o see_v will_v draw_v vast_a multitude_n to_o ruin_n and_o destruction_n nor_o be_v there_o any_o thing_n more_o contrary_a to_o the_o principle_n of_o christ_n religion_n which_o not_o only_o banish_v all_o lie_v and_o deceit_n as_o hateful_a crime_n but_o enjoin_v such_o a_o sincere_a and_o universal_a love_n to_o the_o whole_a world_n as_o to_o be_v ready_a to_o lay_v down_o our_o life_n for_o one_o another_o if_o man_n can_v be_v so_o wicked_a as_o upon_o self-end_n to_o broach_v a_o falsehood_n yet_o if_o we_o attend_v to_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n we_o must_v necessary_o conclude_v that_o he_o will_v long_o ever_o this_o have_v discover_v the_o forgery_n for_o christianity_n be_v so_o frame_v that_o the_o most_o innocent_a and_o harmless_a person_n in_o the_o world_n who_o be_v the_o most_o sincere_a in_o their_o love_n to_o god_n and_o man_n be_v the_o most_o easy_o take_v with_o it_o and_o therefore_o if_o it_o have_v be_v build_v upon_o a_o falsehood_n and_o a_o untruth_n the_o goodness_n of_o god_n be_v high_o concern_v to_o detect_v the_o imposture_n and_o not_o to_o suffer_v those_o who_o endeavour_v to_o serve_v he_o in_o the_o

argument_n against_o all_o objection_n and_o cavil_n whatsoever_o i_o shall_v further_o add_v that_o the_o apostle_n give_v as_o full_a and_o high_a a_o testimony_n of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o jesus_n as_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o man_n to_o give_v for_o any_o matter_n of_o fact_n in_o the_o world_n to_o which_o purpose_n i_o shall_v borrow_v some_o few_o particular_n from_o a_o late_a ingenious_a author_n we_o must_v consider_v say_v he_o what_o those_o circumstance_n be_v deist_n which_o be_v most_o common_o requisite_a to_o make_v humane_a testimony_n credible_a and_o receive_v by_o all_o the_o world_n as_o true_a 1._o the_o first_o thing_n be_v if_o man_n testify_v nothing_o but_o what_o they_o see_v 2._o if_o they_o testify_v it_o at_o no_o long_a distance_n of_o time_n from_o the_o matter_n of_o fact_n or_o thing_n do_v 3._o if_o their_o witness_n and_o testimony_n be_v plain_a and_o deliver_v without_o ambiguous_a and_o doubtful_a expression_n 4._o if_o a_o great_a number_n shall_v agree_v in_o testify_v the_o same_o thing_n 5._o last_o if_o they_o be_v ready_a to_o part_v with_o all_o that_o be_v valuable_a to_o mankind_n rather_o than_o deny_v the_o truth_n of_o what_o they_o have_v testify_v now_o where_o all_o these_o meet_a and_o agree_v it_o be_v mere_a frowardness_n and_o humour_n to_o expect_v any_o further_a evidence_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o a_o matter_n of_o fact_n let_v we_o examine_v then_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o apostle_n concern_v christ_n resurrection_n by_o these_o rule_n 1._o the_o apostle_n witness_v nothing_o but_o what_o they_o themselves_o see_v they_o behold_v our_o saviour_n divers_a time_n after_o his_o resurrection_n they_o eat_v and_o drink_v with_o he_o nor_o be_v they_o hasty_a and_o rash_a in_o their_o belief_n but_o suspend_v their_o assent_n till_o after_o the_o most_o full_a and_o convictive_a evidence_n that_o be_v the_o testimony_n of_o their_o sense_n which_o testimony_n when_o right_o circumstantiate_v be_v infallible_o true_a as_o may_v easy_o be_v demonstrate_v hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o apostle_n appeal_v to_o they_o as_o one_o sure_a evidence_n against_o which_o there_o can_v be_v no_o dispute_n 1_o john_n 1.1_o that_o which_o be_v from_o the_o beginning_n which_o we_o have_v hear_v which_o we_o have_v see_v with_o our_o eye_n which_o we_o have_v look_v upon_o and_o our_o hand_n have_v handle_v 2._o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o stay_v any_o long_a time_n before_o they_o make_v this_o their_o testimony_n but_o soon_o after_o the_o matter_n of_o fact_n and_o while_o all_o the_o circumstance_n be_v lively_a and_o fresh_a in_o their_o memory_n and_o by_o this_o their_o early_a and_o timely_a witness_n they_o prevent_v the_o cavil_n of_o their_o enemy_n who_o will_v have_v be_v ready_a to_o have_v object_v have_v they_o stay_v any_o long_a time_n if_o the_o thing_n they_o now_o avouch_v be_v true_a why_o have_v they_o not_o discover_v they_o soon_o therefore_o upon_o the_o day_n of_o pentecost_n which_o be_v but_o a_o few_o day_n after_o our_o saviour_n christ_n ascension_n into_o heaven_n the_o apostle_n in_o a_o full_a assembly_n declare_v christ_n resurrection_n those_o very_a man_n that_o put_v he_o to_o death_n be_v alive_a and_o in_o be_v which_o they_o constant_o afterward_o and_o bold_o assert_v in_o the_o open_a face_n of_o the_o world_n 3._o if_o the_o apostle_n have_v have_v a_o mind_n to_o deceive_v when_o they_o affirm_v that_o christ_n be_v rise_v from_o the_o dead_a they_o will_v without_o question_n have_v speak_v it_o in_o such_o doubtful_a term_n that_o their_o meaning_n shall_v not_o present_o have_v be_v understand_v and_o whenever_o the_o thing_n shall_v be_v examine_v and_o narrow_o look_v into_o they_o may_v secure_o escape_v by_o the_o favour_n and_o benefit_n of_o some_o ambiguous_a expression_n which_o may_v cunning_o be_v draw_v to_o different_a sense_n and_o acceptation_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o apostle_n give_v their_o testimony_n of_o christ_n resurrection_n in_o open_a plain_a and_o direct_a term_n on_o purpose_n that_o no_o body_n shall_v mistake_v their_o meaning_n act_v 2.32.36_o this_o jesus_n he_o who_o before_o he_o have_v tell_v they_o they_o have_v take_v and_o by_o wicked_a hand_n crucify_a and_o slay_a have_v god_n raise_v up_o whereof_o we_o all_o be_v witness_n therefore_o let_v all_o the_o house_n of_o israel_n know_v assure_o that_o god_n have_v make_v that_o same_o jesus_n who_o you_o have_v crucify_a both_o lord_n and_o christ_n and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o this_o very_a same_o apostle_n divers_a year_n afterward_o with_o great_a integrity_n and_o sincerity_n make_v this_o open_a profession_n 2_o pet._n 1.16_o 17_o 18._o for_o we_o have_v not_o follow_v cunning_o devise_v fable_n when_o we_o make_v know_v unto_o you_o the_o power_n and_o come_v of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n but_o be_v eye-witness_n of_o his_o majesty_n for_o he_o receive_v from_o god_n the_o father_n honour_n and_o glory_n when_o there_o come_v such_o a_o voice_n to_o he_o from_o the_o excellent_a glory_n this_o be_v my_o belove_a son_n in_o who_o i_o be_o

christ_n resurrection_n the_o world_n will_v have_v be_v apt_a to_o have_v suspect_v the_o truth_n of_o this_o testimony_n but_o this_o be_v a_o thing_n upon_o which_o the_o ground_n and_o foundation_n of_o christianity_n lie_v it_o be_v confident_o affirm_v by_o the_o twelve_o apostle_n as_o in_o the_o forementioned_a place_n of_o this_o we_o all_o be_v witness_n say_v st._n peter_n neither_o be_v the_o apostle_n only_a witness_n of_o our_o lord_n resurrection_n but_o above_o five_o hundred_o more_o who_o at_o one_o time_n see_v jesus_n after_o he_o be_v rise_v from_o the_o dead_a as_o st._n paul_n tell_v we_o 1_o cor._n 15.6_o and_o among_o all_o this_o company_n it_o be_v very_o hard_a to_o think_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v none_o so_o honest_a as_o to_o discover_v the_o cheat_n if_o there_o have_v be_v any_o especial_o when_o the_o free_a and_o open_a profession_n of_o it_o be_v every_o way_n attend_v with_o so_o much_o danger_n infamy_n and_o disgrace_n 5._o last_o that_o which_o complete_v the_o credibility_n of_o this_o testimony_n be_v this_o that_o there_o be_v no_o one_o of_o the_o apostle_n nor_o scarce_o any_o of_o the_o rest_n but_o expose_v themselves_o to_o the_o hazard_n and_o danger_n of_o lose_v all_o that_o be_v dear_a and_o valuable_a to_o they_o rather_o than_o they_o will_v deny_v the_o truth_n of_o what_o they_o witness_v if_o these_o thing_n have_v happen_v in_o a_o careless_a and_o drowsy_a age_n when_o people_n have_v be_v so_o indifferent_a about_o religion_n as_o never_o to_o matter_n what_o be_v propound_v to_o they_o it_o be_v possible_a than_o that_o man_n may_v have_v go_v on_o so_o long_o in_o a_o lie_n till_o they_o have_v get_v interest_n enough_o to_o propagate_v it_o for_o a_o truth_n but_o the_o apostle_n no_o soon_o appear_v witness_v these_o thing_n but_o they_o meet_v with_o a_o early_a and_o vigorous_a opposition_n and_o that_o from_o the_o chief_a man_n in_o power_n who_o make_v it_o their_o
