Acts26:8

8 Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead?

This St. Paul seems to have spoken in regard of Festus, and many other there present, who were Heathens; or [illegible: 1 word] any of the Sadducees (if any such were amongst them); as for Agrippa, He believed the Prophets, ver. 27. and had out of them learn'd and observed this promise, ver. 7. However God did not leave himself without a Witness to testifie so much unto all, as should make the Doctrine of the Resurrection credible, whensoever it should be reveal'd unto them. The works of Creation evidence it; for he that can give Life unto that which had it not, can restore it unto that which had it; and the works of Providence attest it: In every Spring there is a Resurrection of such Plants or Trees as seemed dead. Nay, the Bread which we daily feed on, was made of that grain, which was not quickned except it died, 1 Cor. 15.36.
