CHAP. 16. That Paul spake rightly of a glorified body, and what a glorified body is, and what a natural.
CHAP. 16. That Paule spake rightly of a glorified body, and vvhat a glorified body is, and vvhat a naturall.
But now will I declare, that Paul did rightly & well use this word, glorious or glorified body, even as it is truly in it self. For to the Philippians he saith: Our dwelling is in heaven, from whence we look for the saviour,1 even Jesus Christ the lord: which shall change our vile earthy body, ⟨p. 122⟩that it may be fashioned like unto his own glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able to subdue all things unto himself. In this sentence thou haste that term (glorified body) thou hast also of what nature and kind the glorified body shall be: namely whole, and as the body of Christ that rose again from death. And thus shall it not be a body utterly made void, or brought to nothing, or altogether turned into a sprite, & therefore having no room & place, incomprehensible and invisible: but it shall be an upright very true human body, as it is sufficiently declared afore, where I spake of ⟨p. 123⟩the true resurrection of the lord. In the which place we understand, that when the Lords disciples thought they had seen a spirit when they saw the Lord, he said unto them: a spirit hath not flesh & bones as ye see me have.
