Meditations and Discourses on the Glory of Christ

3. I do not understand absolutely the Glorification of the Human Nature of Christ; That very Soul and Body wherein he lived and died, suffered and rose again, tho that also be included herein. This also were a Subject meet for our Contemplation, especially as it is the Exemplar of that Glory which he will bring all those unto, who believe in him. But because at present we look somewhat further, I shall observe only one or two things concerning it.

1. THAT very Nature it self which he took on him in this World, is exalted into Glory. Some under a Pretence of great Subtlety and Accuracy do deny that he hath either Flesh or Blood in Heaven, that is, as to the Substance of them; however you may suppose that they are changed, purified, glorified. The great Foundation of the Church, and all Gospel Faith is, that he was made Flesh, that he did partake of Flesh and Blood, even as did the Children. That he hath forsaken that Flesh and Blood which he was made in the Womb of the Blessed Virgin; wherein he lived and died, which he offered unto God in Sacrifice, and wherein he rose from the Dead, is a Socinian Fiction. What is the true Nature of the Glorification of the Humanity of Christ, neither those who thus surmise, nor we can perfectly comprehend. It doth not yet appear what we our selves shall be, much less is it evident unto us what he is, whom we shall be like. But that he is still in the same Human Nature, wherein he was on the earth, that he hath the same rational Soul, and the ⟨p. 93⟩same Body, is a fundamental Article of the Christian Faith.
