The former Treatise have I made, 0 Theophilus, çf all that Jesus began to do and to teach, until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given Commandment to his Apostles, whom he had chosen ; to whom also he fbew'd himself alive, &c. HE Collect for this Day calls to mind our Bea lief in the Son of God's ascending into the T Heavens, and from thence directs us to pray, that we may in Heart and Mind thither ascend, and with him continually dwell, who liveth and reigneth there world without end. Of the Time and Manner of this great action and Exaltation of our Blessed Saviour, we have fome Account in the • Vol. IV. Part 23 B Epistle ܪ Epistle for this Day; which begins thus : The former Treatise have I made, 0 Theophilus, &c. Where by the former Treatise is generally understood the Gospel according to St. Luke and 'tis so calld, in respect to this latter, of the Acts of the Apostles: for which reason, St. Luke is suppos'd to be the Author of both. In both which, he dedicates or directs his Discourse to the excellent Theophilus ; which is not thought to be the proper Name of any particular Person, but a general Title belonging to every true Lover of God, for so the word signifies : and to all such he seems to address himself in both. In the former Treatise or Gospel, St. Luke gave an account of all that Jesus began to do and to teach, until the day that he was taken up; that is, from the day of his Birth to the time of his Ascension into Heaven, In this latter he gives a Relation of the Acts of the holy Apostles ; After that Christ thro the Holy Ghost had given Commandment to those whom he had chosen. And The first thing he relates of them, was Christ's confirming their in the Belief of his Resurrection, by his particular Appearance to them; in the third Verse : To whom he Mem'd himself alive after his Passion, by many infallible Proofs ; as shewing them his Hands and Feet, with the Print of the Nails that fasten’d them to the Cross, letting them thrust their Hands into the Wound made in his Side by the Soldiers Spear; eating and drinking, and talking freely with them after he rose from the dead; and by many other palpable Evidences convincing them that it was he himself, in the fame Body in which he lived and died. This great Care he took for their Satisfaction, condescending to all they defir’d to that end, because they were to preach and publish him to the World, and become the Witneffes of his Resurrection to all people. And the better to confirm them in the Truth of these things, he would not presently leave the World after he was risen, but ftaid and convers’d with them upon Earth, for the space' of forty Days. Had he gone away sooner, he might have left the World in great Doubts about the Reality of his Resurrection, they might have concluded him to be only fome Ghost or Spectre, that appear'd for a while, and then vanish'd away. And therefort to remove all Scruples. in so weighty a matter, upon which all the Faith and Hopes of Chriftians depend, he continu'd forty Days with them before he went from them, 10 give them all possible Assurance in that great Point; s using which time he was daily seen and heard of them, Speaking |
