It shall rise after a most Glorious manner; 1It is sown in Corruption, but it shall be raised in Incorruption. It is sown in dishonour, but it shall be raised in Glory. It is sown in weakness, but it shall be raised in power. It is sown a natural Body, but it shall be raised a spiritual body. For Jesus Christ in his Incarnation assumed our Bodies, as well as our souls, and at his Death, suffered for us, in his Body, as well as in his Soul. Our Bodies are united to him, and Members of him, Temples of the Holy Ghost, and Instruments in his Service, as well as our Souls. And therefore he will glorify our Bodies, as well as our souls, and make them like unto his own Glorious Body. It is impossible to set out all the Glory that God will bestow upon the bodies of his Saints, at the great Resurrection. Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath in entered into the heart of man to conceive what God hath prepared, even for the bodies of those that love him. Some part of this Glory I have discovered already in a Funeral Sermon in Print, and therefore shall now forbear to mention it.
