Ah Sirs, why stand ye not (with the men of Galilee,) 1gazing up into Heaven? but, (with Peter) stooping down, and looking into the Sepulchre? Behold I bring you glad tidings of great joy; The day is coming, when that Corruptible shall put on Incorruption; and that Mortal shall put on Immortality: when that poor dust, over which thou now mournest, that vile body, shall put on its Angelical Robes, and shall more surpass it self in its freshest and liveliest colours, while yet in the land of the living; than that beautiful pile of flesh and blood did exceed it self, when it was resolved into rottenness and dust.

Look not, then, oh ye Children of God, upon your Selves or your Relations, as they lye in the Grave; but, contemplate them, as they shall be in the morning of the Resurrection: Oh what a glorious change shalt than behold! How unlike it self, shall this poor vile body appear in the Resurrection?
