But now in the Resurrection, it shall not be so: the body ⟨p. 95⟩then shall depend wholly upon the Soul, and be acted properly and indistarbedly by the Soul. Here the Soul seems to be flesh it self, because acted by the flesh, 1and is oft subservient to the flesh: but then the very body shall seem to be a Spirit; because acted by the Spirit, and shall be universally and uniformly serviceable to the Spirit: The Soul shall immediately be acted by God, and the body shall immediately be acted by the Soul; thus it shall be a Spiritual body.

Secondly, It is raised a spiritual body; because it shall subsist as a Spirit; it shall stand in no need of those gross material Aliments, of meat, and drink, and sleep; by which it is now underpropped; but it shall be sustained merely by virtue of its union with the Soul; as the Soul by virtue of its union with Jesus Christ; this is to be a spiritual body, when the body shall subsist as a Spirit, or as an Angel doth subsist.
