The very bodies of the Saints shall share in this blessed conformity as well as the soul: It had its degree in the first Paradise, man had a kind of resemblance to God in the very make of his body, 1beautiful; upright, active, no such visible picture of God, in Heaven or Earth, as man was, not Sun, Moon, or Stars, not Earth, and Sea, or the visible Heavens themselves have so much of their Maker in them as the body of man; his very corporeal senses had much of God in them, they were Vestigia Dei, though not Imago, one might easily have known who was their Father.
