6. Their Bodies shall be perfected and made immortal, spiritual, incorruptible and glorious bodies, shining as the Stars in the Celestial Firmament: No more subject to hunger, and thirst, or cold, or weariness, or shame, or pain, nor any of the frailties that now adhere unto them, but be made like the glorified body of Christ.
7. The Souls of the Saints united to these Bodies shall also be Perfected, having far larger capacity to know God and enjoy him then now we have; being freed from all ignorance, error, unbelief, pride, hard-heartedness, and whatsoever sin doth now accompany us; and perfected in every part of the Image of God upon us.

8. The eyes of the Glorified Body shall in Heaven have a Glory to behold that is suitable to their Bodily capacity: Heaven being not a place where the Essence of God is confined, but where a prepared glory will be manifested to make Happy the Angels and Saints with Christ. And whatever other senses the Glorified Bodies shall then have (whether formally or eminently, we cannot now conceive what they will be) they will all be satisfied with suitable Delights from God.
