Secondly, By virtue of an External Irradiation: It is said of Jesus Christ at that day, He shall come to be glorified in his Saints, and admired in all them that believe: As, Jesus Christ was the Brightness of his Fathers Glory; (it is spoken of him, not as he was the second person in Trinity, God blessed for ⟨p. 91⟩ever; but as he was Verbum Incarnatum, The Word Incarnate;) all the beams of Divine Majesty and Glory did shine forth in him, with such a refulgent brightness, that, through his Flesh, the Godhead was as it were made visible; we saw his Glory as the Glory of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth: So shall the Saints at his Coming (in their proportion) be, the brightness of Christ his glory; the beams of that glory, which shall shine forth from the glorified Person of their Redeemer, shall reflect such a glittering Splendour upon the Saints in the Resurrection, that they shall be glorious even to admiration: They shall be admired by the very Angels, by one another, and even by themselves also: they shall wonder to behold this strange Change wrought upon themselves; as a poor Captive-maid taken out of the Dungeon, stripped of her nasty stinking rags, and clothed with Prince-like Robes, adorned with rich and costly Jewels, to be Married to a King; would stand filled with wonder and delight, to look round about upon her self, and behold the beauty and lustre of every part: So shall it be with the Saints in the Resurrection. The reflexes of Christs glory shall shine forth in them, even to wonder and astonishment: Christ shall be glorified in his Saints, and in all them which believe; Christ shall not be glorious in Himself only, but glorified in all his Saints.
