And so at the length he begins this treatise at Christ's resurrection, which is the ground and foundation of ours, and confirms it first by the testimony of the scriptures and by the witness of the apostles, and of more than five hundred brethren, and last of all by his own.(:note) brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye In the profession of which you still continue. stand;
