But now, behold this feeble thing shall be raised in power: 1The body even of the weakest Infant, shall be invested with an Angelical power; A Monument whereof, the formidable Host of Sennacherib King of Assyria hath erected for all posterity: wherein, 2one Angel went out and smote one hundred fourscore and five thousand, who over-night, like so many Goliaths, defied the Armies of the Living God; but in the morning, lay upon the ground so many blasted life-less Corpses; and all by the Ministry of one Angel. Such Vessels of strength and Activity shall the bodies of the Saints be in the Resurrection; they shall be endued with such power (saith one) that they shall be able to remove the Globe of the Earth with their foot, as if it were but a foot-ball: they shall be clothed with a kind of Omnipotence; Gideon, Sampson, Jephthah, David, and all his famous Worthies, are but as sucking Babes to the Children of the Resurrection: He that is weak among them shall be as David, and he that is as David shall be as the Angel of God. Again;
