to the full, appointed them to repaire to a moun∣tain of Gallile, where they might all see him at once. For probably this was that famous Apparition, of which S. Paul mentioneth. Then was he seen of more then five hundred Bretheren together. Think with what fervor they all went to see our Lord. O that you would come with the like, to receive him in the Holy Eucharist!
Consider 2. How our Lord appearing unto them, comforted, and confirmed them in their faith, and among other things, said unto them, All power is given to me in Heaven, and in Earth. He had the same Power from all eternity as God: but received it now due to him as man, in reward of his merits and sufferings. Rejoyce that so great power is reposed in him, who loves you so intirely. How well may you assure your self of his Protection, and say with the Prophet? If camps stand together against me, my heart shall not fear. If battell rise up against me, in this will I hope.
Consider 3. It followeth. Going therefore teach ye all Nations, baptizing them, &c. Where he in∣stituted the Sacrament of Baptisme, in place of Circumcision. And as that was the dore or enterance in the antient Law so is Baptisme in the new; but with far greater advantages of grace, &c. Observe likewise that Baptisme, or faith alone, sufficeth not to Salvation, and that there is also required the observance of all the Commandements, Teaching them to observe all things, &c. For whosoever of∣fendeth in one, is made guilty of all. Therefore (David said) I was directed to all thy commandements; all wicked way I have hated. Doe you the like.
