And then they are vile after death; as we were taken out of dust at the first, so we return to dust again; and if these bodies be not transformed to be like the glorious body of Christ, they are most vile of all. The spirit of despair, the spirit of anger that, is in reprobate persons, how doth it disfigure their faces? one may see their shame, their grief, their despair in their very looks; so their bodies are most vile, and dishonourable: but I speak of Gods Children. I say here in this world, in regard that they come of parents that are miserable and sinful, Man that is borne of a woman, hath but a short time to live, and is full of misery, Job 14. 1. Man that is borne of a woman, of a weak, miserable, sinful woman, 1in this respect it is a vile body. And in ⟨p. 44⟩all the passages of our life, in respect of labour and pain, and sicknesses, and diseases; and likewise for indisposing the soul, that it is an instrument to ill: and in death it self, more vile then in life, and after death most of all vile. So you see they are vile bodies every way. To make some use of this.
And then they are vile after death; as wee were taken out of dust at the first, so we returne to dust againe; and if these bodies be not transformed to be like the glorious body of Christ, they are most vile of all. The spirit of despayre, the spirit of anger that, is in reprobate persons, how doth it disfigure their faces? one may see their shame, their griefe, their despayre in their very lookes; so their bodies are most vile, and dishonourable: but I speake of Gods Children. I say here in this world, in regard that they come of parents that are miserable and sinfull, Man that is borne of a woman, hath but a short time to live, and is full of misery, Iob 14. 1. Man that is borne of a woman, of a weake, miserable, sinfull woman, 1in this respect it is a vile body. And in ⟨p. 44⟩all the passages of our life, in respect of labour and paine, and sickenesses, and diseases; and likewise for indisposing the soule, that it is an instrument to ill: and in death it selfe, more vile then in life, and after death most of all vile. So you see they are vile bodies every way. To make some use of this.
