this life is not for them, though we […] dainty of them. Let us use this body here so, as it may be glorious in the world to come: we should suffer our souls to rule our bodies, and to do all here, that both body and soul may be glorious after. For indeed all that the body hath here, it is beholding to the soul for, why therefore should it not be an instrument for the soul in holy things? doth not the soul quicken it? hath it not its beauty from the soul? when the soul is gone out of the body, where is the ⟨p. 59⟩life? where is the beauty, where is any thing? the body is a loathsome carcass. Now therefore while the soul is in this body, look to the soul especially, that when the soul shall go to heaven, the soul be mindful of, and speak a good word for the body; as Pharaohs Butler did for Joseph, that the soul there may think of the body, that it may think of the pains, of the suffering; as the soul doth, it hath an appetite in heaven, a desire to be joined again to the body, which it useth to labour in, to pray to God in, which it used to fast in, which it used as an instrument to good actions. Let us use it so here; that the soul may desire to meet it again, that Christ at that day may bring body and soul together to be glorious for ever.
this life is not for them, though we 〈…〉 dainty of them. Let us use this body here so, as it may be glorious in the world to come: we should suffer our soules to rule our bodies, and to doe all here, that both body and soule may be glorious after. For indeed all that the body hath here, it is beholding to the soule for, why therefore should it not be an instrument for the soule in holy things? doth not the soule quicken it? hath it not its beauty from the soule? when the soule is gone out of the body, where is the ⟨p. 59⟩life? where is the beauty, where is any thing? the body is a loathsome carkasse. Now therefore while the soule is in this body, looke to the soule especially, that when the soule shall goe to heaven, the soule be mindfull of, and speake a good word for the body; as Pharaohs Butler did for Ioseph, that the soule there may thinke of the body, that it may thinke of the paines, of the suffering; as the soule doth, it hath an apetite in heaven, a desire to be joyned againe to the body, which it useth to labour in, to pray to God in, which it used to fast in, which it used as an instrument to good actions. Let us use it so here; that the soule may desire to meete it againe, that Christ at that day may bring body and soule together to be glorious for ever.
