1But the Apostle (Phil. 3.21.) calleth our body, a vile body, or the body of our vileness. Mans body is not vile, as God made it (so it is a stately structure) but as sin hath made it. The ⟨p. 495⟩Apostle calls it vile, not absolutely, and in it self, but relatively. The body clothed with mortality is vile, compared with the body, when it shall be clothed with glory, and that glory like the glory of the body of Christ, as is assured us, Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body; The words carry an allusion to those who changing old and broken vessels, desire to have them wrought in the best, and newest fashion. The body of Christ is the richest piece of Gods work, and this shall be the pattern of ours; as here upon earth the spirits of believers are of the same fashion with Christs (the same mind is in the Saints, which was in Christ, there is but one draft of grace (in the main) upon the souls of all holy men, and that is a copy of Christs, his being the original) So in heaven the bodies of all believers shall be of the same fashion with Christs. There shall be but one draft of glory in the main (for degrees do not vary the kind) upon the body of Christ, and the bodies of all his members. In reference to this future change of the body, the body in its present state, is vile.
