to carry on the Farce; supposing, the _Doctor_'s Fraternity had afterwards averr'd that they had seen and convers'd with him alive, several Times, as before his Death; and had told particular Stories of their Conversation with him; as _first_ of all, how he appear'd to some of their Women (who were admonish'd of the Certainty of his Resurrection by a Youth or an Angel or two, they could not tell whether, but they were as like to Angels, which they never saw before in their Lives, as Youths could be) who knew him, not by his Countenance, for _their Eyes were holden_, but by his Talk on Scripture Prophecy, which was his usual Cant before his Death. And at another Time he appear'd to his old Acquaintance, who knew him, not by the Features of his Face, but by an habitual Motion and Action of his Hand in _breaking of Bread_. And at another Time he was corporally present, but _they thought, they saw a Spirit_. About _eight Days after that_, he appear'd among more of his old Friends, but for all their former Intimacy with him, some of them _doubted_ whether it was the _Doctor_ or not. At another Time he came to them in _another Form_ and Shape, unlike to his pristine one, but they were sure it was _He_ by his Exposition of the Scripture. At another Time, when they were assembled together and the Doors were lock'd, _for fear of the Clergy_, the _Doctor_ slipt unexpectedly into their Company, either from behind a Curtain, or miraculously enter'd at the Key-hole. And the last Time he appear'd, there was one of his intimate Friends had not known him, but by a _Sore_ in his Breast, which the Power of God, in his Resurrection, did not heal: After which, they said, he _vanish'd away, was taken up into Heaven_, and they saw him no more. Supposing, I say, the _French_ Prophets had told such like Stories of _Doctor Emms_'s Resurrection and of his Appearances to them; what would your Priests and all other wise Men have said to it? Why, that it was all idle Tales, manifest Lyes, Sham, and Imposture; and that if the _Doctor_, in Confutation of the Errors of our Priests, had risen to Life, God would have kept him in his Sepulchre, his full time, and have rais'd him in the Presence of Priests, Magistrates and People; and that he would have walk'd afterwards publickly in the Streets without Danger, to the Satisfaction of all, who knew him, that he was the same _Emms_ who died and was bury'd: _Without Danger_, I say, from the Populace, who would have been so far from affronting him, that they would have almost adored him for the miraculous Favour God had done him, in his Resurrection from the Dead; and that he would never have skulk'd about, and absconded himself for _forty Days_ together, before he was pretendedly translated; and therefore there was nothing but notorious Deceit and Imposture in all these Pretences.
