Secondly the bodies of the Elect when Christ receiveth them to himself, of vile bodies, they shall be made beautiful, it may be thou hast some deformity, but Christ shall refine that body, and new varnish and make it beautiful, Phil. 3. 21. Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself. The body of Christ is a beautiful body, neither spot nor wrinkle, nor any such thing in it; thy body shall be like Christs glorious Body, 1 Cor. 15. 43. It is sown in dishonour, it is raised in glory, it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power. Here thy body it is a vile body, El•phaz calls the body a house of clay, and Job calls it a house of Earth; It is the Opinion of Gerrard, and he gives strong reasons for it, that if there be any defects upon the body in this world, if any of the members of the body be wanting, it shall be restored to thee at the resurrection, and there are these reasons to be given for it.
