It is impossible to set out all the glorious excellencies with which Christ will adorn our bodies in the great day of the resurrection.1 Quae sit & quam magna spiritualis corporis gloria quoniam nondum venit in experimentum, 2vereor ne temerarium sit omne quod de illâ profertur eloquium, How great the glory of our spiritual bodies shall be, because we have no experience of it, I fear it will be rashness for any man (saith Austin) to speak peremptorily about it: It will be the marriage day between Christ and his Saints, and he will endow their bodies with glorious qualities as well as their souls, for he assumed their bodies as well as their souls, suffered in body as well as in soul, died for their bodies as well as for their souls, and therefore will glorify their bodies as well as their souls.
