Institutions of Christian religion framed out of Gods word, and the writings of the best diuines, methodically handled by questions and answers, fit for all such as desire to know, or practise the will of God. Written in Latin by William Bucanus Professor of Diuinitie in the Vniuersitie of Lausanna. And published in English by Robert Hill, Bachelor in Diuinitie, and Fellow of Saint Iohns Colledge in Cambridge, for the benefit of our English nation, to which is added in the end the practise of papists against Protestant princes.

What is the efficient cause of Resurrection?

1. The almightie God himselfe, who hath determined that hee will raise vp the dead.

2. The sonne 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, working with the Father, Ioh. 5.21. As the Father raiseth the dead, so the Sonne quickneth whom he wil also. And Chap. 11.25. he saith, I am the Resurrection and the life. Moreouer Christ is the Author of Resurrection partly 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, that is, by the vertue of his Resurrection,c 1.1, partly by the power of his Diuinitie, whereby he can subiect all things vnto himselfed 1.2, partly by his most mightie voice and beck, Ioh. 5.28. They which are in their graues, shall heare the voice of the sonne of God, and shall come forth.

3. The holy Ghost, Rom. 8.11. But if the spirit of him that raised vp Iesus Christ from the deade, dwell in you, he that raised vp Christ from the deade, shall also quicken your mortall bodies, by his spirit that dwelleth in you.

But although the Angels shall be 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 the ministers of Resur∣rection, (for they shall gather the Elect from the windes) yet by no meanes can they be the causes of ite 1.3.
