It showeth your Lordship also
It sheweth your Lordship also
That this vile body will never be changed into a glorious body till the great day of the resurrection, and that then the Lord JESUS will come from Heaven on purpose to fashion our vile bodies like unto his glorious body.
That this life is not the time appointed for the good of ⟨image 3⟩our bodies only or chiefly, but of our souls principally and especially.
That the only way to make our bodies glorious, is by getting our souls to be made gracious.
