Thirdly, Spiritual; because the motions, operations, 1and affections of the body, shall then be all Spiritual: it shall be in the Resurrection of so pure and refined a Complexion, that it shall be diaphanous and transparent; and move up and down with the agility and celerity of a Spirit.
- 1Care Angelica, Angelified flesh, Tert. de Res.
Zanchius resembleth it to the motion of birds in the Air, 1that the body being hatched (as it were) in the Resurrection, shall be able to mount up into the Heavens, and as lightly fly through the skies, as if it had wings. David shall then need to wish no more for the wings of a Dove, but be able to contend with fouls of the swiftest flight. Augustin hath an higher strain, and saith, that, 2The body shall move from place to place with what celerity it listeth: and (after him) Luther expresseth it by the swiftness of a Thought, as instantaneous as the Lightning, which in the twinkling of an eye passeth from one end of Heaven to another.
