Paul did highly value and calls his Fellow-labourers in Christ Jesus Rom. 16. 3 4. he went into Achaia and coming to Corinth the Metropolis thereof 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 he helped them much or he much advantaged and emproved them that believed through Grace Vers. 27. viz. upon the Preaching of S. Paul for Paul planted and Apollos watered 1 Cor. 3. And as some might know this from the Preaching of Paul and Cephas and Apollos so some from Christ himself pretended to have been instructed in the Christian Doctrine As appears by those divisions amongst them in saying I am of Paul and I of Cephas and I of Christ as we read in 1 Cor. 1. 12. And no wonder that S. Paul and the Apostles were so much upon this For the Doctrine of the Resurrection of Christs Resurrection first is a Doctrine of greatest Importance as it makes for the encouragement of our Faith and Hope in God for he was raised for our Justification Rom. 4. and as it makes for the justifying and confirmation of the Gospel the Doctrine that he taught there being no greater proof or evidence that the most Doubting and Sceptical and Prejudiced could desire or expect to have to prove one to be a true Prophet a Teacher sent from God and that his Doctrine was from God then this if the Prophet or Teacher should foretel and give it them for a Sign to believe in him That after his being put to Death by those that would not believe him he should arise and live again in the World and within such a time which was fulfill'd and verified in our Saviour and this was his last Sign superadded to the other Signs the Miracles which he wrought and is called The Sign of the Prophet Jonas For as Jonas was Three Days and Three Nights in the Whale's Belly so shall the Son of Man be Three Days and Three Nights in the Heart of the Earth Matth. 12. 40. And indeed this Sign of the Prophet Jonas was was very fitly remarkeable Briefly to gloss upon it In this great Sea of the World it s no wonder if the great Tempest of God's Anger doth arise by reason of Mens Sins so that all are in danger to be cast away and Perish And therefore it was expedient that one should Die as Caiaphas the High-Priest spake and more Prophetically then he was aware of Jo. 11. 50 Jonas was cast into the Sea that the rest might be saved and the Sea calmed He offered himself to them to stav the raging of the Sea and to save them from perishing And Christ offered himself to those that came with Judas to apprehend him and bring him to his Suffering which was designed and agreed on by the Chief of the Jews Jo. 18. 8. I have told you that I am he If therefore ye seek me let these his Disciples he means go their way I am the Man that must stay the Storm Jonas was in the Belly of the Whale Jon. 2. 1. and in the Heart of the Seas Vers. 3. and this Belly of the Whale he calls the Belly of Hell so that he was as good as lost or dead it was a wonder that he was not consumed he was dead in a Figure as t is said of Isaac Heb. 11. And Christ was in the Heart of the Earth in the Belly of the Grave he was dead not in a Figure onely but really dead and buried Jonas was restored the Third Day to the dry Land alive Thou hast saith he brought up my Life from Corruption O Lord my God And so was Christ restored the Third Day to the Land of the Living And to cast in and superadd one Resemblance more though not of this kind Jonas arose and went to Nineveh a great and populous City to Preach Repentance to them And Christ being risen from the dead Repentance and Remission of Sins was to be Preached in his Name among all Nations not to one City or one Nation onely though first it was to be Preacht at Jerusalem Luke 24. 47. And as the Apostles Preached Jesus and his Resurrection and did it with great Power as it is exprest in Acts 4. Vers. 33. And with great Power gave the Apostles Witness of the Resurrection of the Lord Jesus S. Peter Preacht it at Pentecost before the Jews then Assembled at Jerusalem from every Nation under Heaven and this he did 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Acts 2. 29. freely and openly And again he did it at the Temple in Solomon's Porch besore the Jews and with a boldness that Astonished them He and S. John asserted it before Annas the High-Priest and Caiaphas and the Rulers and Elders and Scribes Acts 4. 13. and this they did again and in the Temple as we read in Acts 5. in obedience to Gods Message sent them by an Angel Vers. 20. Go stand and speak in the Temple to the People all the words of this Life So the Apostles also Preacht Our Resurrection which is consequent upon Christ's with all freedom though it Gall'd the Sadducees who were grieved that they Preached through Jesus the Resurrection from the Dead Acts 4. 2. And S. Peter in his Preaching to Cornelius and his near Friends and Kinsmen the first converted Gentiles as he Preacheth Christs Resurrection Acts 10. 40 41. so he tells them that Christ Commanded us viz. the Apostles to Preach unto the People and to testifie that it is He which was Ordained of God to be the Judge of Quick and Dead whence it follows That Christ was to Rise from the Dead and that the Dead shall Rise again The words suppose both the Resurrection of Christ and Our Resurrection But to return to our Apostle Paul who by the Grace of God laboured more abundantly then they all He very largely and freely Preached Christs Resurrection and Ours That this was his constant Employment He affirms it in his defence before King Agrippa and Festus the Roman Governour Acts 26. Vers. 22. I continue unto this Day Witnessing both to small and great That Christ should suffer and that he should be the first that should Rise from the Dead And in the beginning of his Apology or Defence why should it be thought a thing incredible with you that God should Raise the Dead Vers. 8.
