Know to possess his vessel. That is, his body. And the body is the temple of the holy ghost, as he saith to the Corinthians. And therefore 1glorify God in your body, and in your spirit: for they are Gods. In this body we ⟨p. 110⟩shall rise out of our grave, and appear before the judgement seat of God: in this body we shall sit upon the twelve seats, and judge the twelve tribes. God shall crown it with glory and honour. Keep this vessel clean, it is precious, keep it in honour, keep it in holiness. Make not the member of Christ, a member of the devil. Shame not your bodies, shame not your selves.
Knowe to possesse his vessel. That is, his bodie. And the bodie is the temple of the holy ghost, as he saith to the Corinthians. And therefore 1glorifie God in your bodie, and in your spirite: for they are Gods. In this bodie we ⟨p. 110⟩shal rise out of our graue, and appeare before the iudgement seate of God: in this bodie wee shal sit vpon the twelue seates, and iudge the twelue tribes. God shal crowne it with glorie and honour. Kéepe this vessel cleane, it is precious, keepe it in honour, keepe it in holines. Make not the member of Christ, a member of the diuel. Shame not your bodies, shame not your selues.
V. 5. And not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God.
