APPLICATION.
Even thus shall the bodies of the Saints arise in beauty and glory at the resurrection. They are sown in dishonour, they are raised in glory; they are sown natural bodies, they are raised spiritual bodies, 1 Cor. 15. 43, 44. The Husbandman knows, that though the seed rot in the earth, yet it will rise again. And the believer knows, That though after his skin worms destroy his body, yet in his flesh he shall see God, Job 19. 25, &c. and the resemblance betwixt the seed sown, and springing up; and the bodies of the Saints dying, and rising again, lies in these following particulars.
