Fourthly, if this be true that Jesus Christ will raise thy Body unto glory, O then do not abuse these Bodies of yours; they are the Temples of the Holy Ghost, these Bodies of yours shall one day be raised, and received by Jesus Christ. It is an argument that the Apostle raiseth, 1 Cor. 6. 14, 15. vers. And God hath both raised up the Lord by his own Power; know ye not that your bodies are the Members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the Members of Harlots? God forbid. This is the Apostles Argument. The Apostle would reason against Adultery and Uncleanness in the body, what argument doth he use? Know ye this, Christ will raise up our bodies, and shall we take these Members of our bodies, and make them the members of a Where? So then Beloved, let the Doctrine of your Resurrection, and of your bodies being raised and received to Jesus Christ, provoke you that you do not abuse your Bodies. He that keeps company with a Harlot, sinneth against his own Body, 1 Cor. 6. 18. Flee Fornication, every sin that a man doth, is without the Body, but he that committeth Fornication, sinneth against his own body. For a man to lie and swear, it is against his Soul, but for a man to be unclean, it is to sin against his Body; O do not die with an unclean Body, with an Adulterous Body, and do not abuse thy Body, do not abuse those Eyes of thine to be windows of lust, that shall one day behold Jesus Christ; do not abuse that body that must have a sweet communion with Christ in Heaven.
