Saith he, in the second verse, we groan earnestly, desiring to be clothed upon: there is a wondrous desire after this clothing, Rom. 8. The creature groaneth, much more we that have the first fruits of the Spirit. There will be a sighing for this glory, awaiting for the blessed coming ⟨p. 63⟩of Christ; for Christ to redeem soul and body perfectly, that is the first sign, a desire and groaning earnestly.
Saith he, in the second verse, we groane earnestly, desiring to be cloathed upon: there is a wondrous desire after this cloathing, Rom. 8. The creature groaneth, much more wee that have the first fruits of the Spirit. There will be a sighing for this glory, awayting for the blessed comming ⟨p. 63⟩of Christ; for Christ to redeeme soule and body perfectly, that is the first signe, a desire and groaning earnestly.
In the fourth verse there is another evidence, He that hath wrought us for the same things i• God. He that hath wrought us for the blessed estate to come, is God: so, whosoever hopes for a house in heaven, when this Tabernacle is dissolved, he is wrought for it, that is, he is a new creature for it; God hath wrought his soul and body for it. God fits our souls here, to possess a glorious body after, and he will fit the body for a glorious soul, so both shall be glorious, a glorious soul, and a glorious body, he hath wrought us for the same. If a man therefore find the beginning of the new creature, that it is begun to be wrought in him, he may know that he shall partake of this glory of the body, because He is wrought for it.
