Christ will change these vile bodies, that they shall be fashioned like his glorious body. I beseech you therefore oft think of this, think of the time to come, comfort your selves with▪ things to come. In 1 Thess. 4. Saint 1Paul would have us talk one to another often of this, this should be the matter of our conference, not only the state of the Church and our own estate here, but how it shall be with us when we are gone hence, how it shall be with us world without end hereafter, we should confer, and speak, and oft meditate and think of these things.
Christ will change these vile bodies, that they shall be fashioned like his glorious body. I beseech you therefore oft thinke of this, think of the time to come, comfort your selves with▪ things to come. In 1 Thess. 4. Saint 1Paul would have us talke one to another often of this, this should be the matter of our conference, not onely the state of the Church and our owne estate here, but how it shall be with us when we are gone hence, how it shall be with us world without end hereafter, we should conferre, and speake, and oft meditate and thinke of these things.

How doth it quicken the soul to any endeavour, when once we know, that how soever we abase our selves here, yet we shall have glorious bodies hereafter. It will quicken us to any endeavour, to any thing for Christ: therefore let us oft think of our estate to come, let us set our thoughts forward to the time to come: Let faith make the times to come present,
