Evid. 3. If your hearts and affections be now with Christ in Heaven, your bodies in due time shall be there also, and conformed to his glorious body. So you find it, Phil. 3.20, 21. For our conversation is in heaven, from whence we look for the Saviour; ¹the Lord Jesus Christ; who shall change our vile body; that it may be fashioned like unto his own glorious body. The body is here called vile, or the body of our vileness. Not as God made it, but as sin hath marred it. Not absolutely and in it self, but relatively, and in comparison of what it will be in its second edition, at the Resurrection. Then those scattered bones, and dispersed dust, like pieces of old broken battered Silver, will be new cast, and wrought in the best and newest fashion: even like to Christs glorious body. Whereof we have this evidence, that our conversation is already heavenly. The temper, frame, and disposition of our souls is already so; therefore the frame and temper of our bodies in due time shall be so.
