A Question, that here arises, is, On what Day, and what Time of the Day, did our _Chief Priests_, the Sealers of the Stone, expect, what they could not think would ever come to pass, _Jesus_'s Resurrection? Or what was the Extent of the Time meant by _Jesus_, when he said that after _three Days_, or on the _third Day_ after his Passion, he should rise again? If any Impostor or Prophet like _Jesus_ should in this Age so predict his Resurrection, and be executed on _Friday_, the Day for his Resurrection would be presumed to be _Monday_, and not _Sunday_ Morning before Day. And I humbly conceive former Ages and Nations, and our Nation in particular did compute after this Fashion. Accordingly on _Monday_ our _Chief Priests_ I don't doubt, intended to be present at the opening of the Seals of the Sepulchre, and to behold the Miracle: But _Jesus_'s Body was clandestinely moved off early on _Sunday_ (the Day before _that_ signified and predicted for his Resurrection) to the Laughter more than the Surprize of our Ancestors, at the Notoriety of the Fraud committed, and at the Vanity of a Resurrection pretended upon it. And I may appeal even to your _Chief Priests_ of the Church, whether here's not another Note of Cheat and Imposture; and whether the Disciples were not afraid to trust _Jesus_'s Body, its full time, in the Grave; because of the greater Difficulty to carry it off afterwards, and pretend a Resurrection upon it. But because your _Divines_ (who have singular Knacks at making two Nights and a full Day, that _Jesus_ was buried, to be _three Days_ and _three Nights_; and whose various Ways of Computation I always smile at) do assert that _Sunday_ was the _third Day_, on which, in Accomplishment of _Jonah_'s Prophecy, and of his Own Prediction, he was to rise again; I will suppose so with them, and will, if they please, grant that our _Chief Priests_, and the _Sealers_ of the Sepulchre, expected his Resurrection on that Day, and intended, for the opening of the Seals, to be present at it. But at what Time of the Day were they to come or could be expected at the Sepulchre? Not long before Noon. But _Jesus_'s Body was gone betimes in the Morning, before our _Chief Priests_ could be out of their Beds; and a barefac'd Infringment of the Seals of the Sepulchre was made against the Laws of Honour and Honesty, and a Resurrection confidently talk'd of by the Disciples; and yet your Christian Priesthood at this Day would have us to believe, there was no Fraud and Deceit in all this! O most monstrous!
