But this is our comfort, we shall change for the best, all the changes of our bodies serve for the last change, after which, there shall never be any more change, when they are changed once to be glorious, they shall be for ever glorious: a blessed change, a blessed estate of a christian, all his changes tend to a state that shall never change: for after these bodies are once changed from base, to be glorious, they shall be for ever glorious,

Who
The person that shall change them is Christ, •ho, who shall change our vile bodies. In the person, we may consider the object and the action: Christ shall change our vile bodies, he that made us will make us again, he that is the Image of God will refine us, he will renew us in body and soul to be like God, to be like himself, and he that changeth our souls in this world, will change our bodies in the world to come. His first coming was to change our ⟨p. 48⟩souls, to deliver them from the bondage of Satan; his second coming shall be to deliver our bodies from the bondage of Corruption, that is, the day of the Redemption of our bodies, as the Apostle calls it, Rom. 8. So it is he that shall change, but of this I shall speak more afterward.
