Moreover, the bodies of the righteous shall have a most sweet mixture of colours; there will be no black skin, no swarthy complexion, no pale face, no wan look; their colour will be most lovely, without change or fading; there will be no wrinkles of old age, but they will be always young, fresh, and blooming; if the composition of these elements, which are so dreggish, doth give forth in some such loveliness of colour, what will the more refined composition of the bodies of the righteous do, and when the Lord will fashion their bodies after the pattern of his Sons body: and therefore I conceive further that the bodies of the righteous shall have a most comely stature, not dwarfish not gigantic; but according to the measure of the stature of Christ: And lastly, to complete their beauty, I doubt not but they will have most graceful gestures and sparkling motions in their countenances; they will have no grief to deaden their beauty, no anger or envy, or the like, to change and transform their visage; but love and joy will continually look out at their eyes, which will marvellously add to the lustre and sweetness of their beauty; they shall have most beautiful bodies.
