2. He had a perfect body; however he was cut, and bored, and mangled before his death, yet after his resurrection, all was perfect. Eusebius tells of one of the Children of the Maccabees, that were put to death for the profession of the Truth; and when they cut off his members, says he, I have received these from heaven, and now I do give them unto the God of heaven, and I hope I shall have them again. Not a member of Christ was wanting, not a bone out of joint, but all was perfect.

3. He had an incorruptible, immortal body. To this end (saith the Apostle) Christ both died, and rose and revived; and why revived? but to show that he rose, never to die again. The Apostle is yet more express; Christ being raised from the dead, dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. Consonant hereunto is that of Christ, I am he that liveth, and was dead, and behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen. 1And herein the body of Lazarus and the rest, whom Christ raised, differed from his; for after they were raised, they died again; but Christ died no more.
