He is both the case and the pa•e the efficient, and the exempt cause. He is the pattern, our bodies shall be like his glorious body, even as our •oules are like Christs […] for this is certain, we are renewed in grace, not to the Image of the first Adam, but to the Image of the second Adam, we are conformed in soul to the Image of Christ in •nesse, and righteousness: so likewise in the body, we shall be conformable to the body of Christ, the second Adam: As we bare the Image of the first Adam in our first creation; so we must bear the Image of the second in our […] tion, at the day of the resurrection. The glorious body of Christ is the pattern of this transmutation and change.

But we most understand this, as I said, […] regard ⟨p. 49⟩of quality, and not in regard of equality: our body shall be like his glorious body, not equal to his glorious body. There must be a reservation therefore of difference in heaven, between the head and the members, the husband and the spouse, our bodies shall be like his glorious body, not equal to it. To our capacity we shall have full satisfaction, and contentment for body and soul too, and they shall have security to be in that estate for ever, therefore, though there be a difference of glory, yet that difference is no prejudice to the glory we shall have, we shall have that that is fit for us, Our body shall be made like unto his glorious body. Christ is our pattern.
