Christ's certain and sudden appearance to judgment

1. Believers consider the greatness of the happiness of Heaven, it will be full, and you will be filled therewith unto your utmost capacity, yea beyond what here you are capable of; consider these particulars in your happiness of Heaven.

1. Think what bodies you will have; they will be most beautiful and glorious bodies, they will be most healthful, strong and immortal bodies; you will then bear the image of the Heavenly Adam, in regard of your bodies, as well as in regard of your souls.

Rejoice then believers rejoice! what though some of you have crooked and deformed bodies now? what though some of you are blind or lame, or maimed, or have your bodies filled with irksome pains, and weakened with long sickness? what though you live in expectation of death, and these bodies, whatever their mould and shape be, must ere long be carried to the cold stinking grave, ⟨p. 275⟩and be turned into putrefaction? yet rejoice you that are believers, because your bodies will be made so glorious in the resurrection, when all blemishes of nature will be healed, and all sickness and pain will be removed, because they will be raised in incorruption, and freed from any more dominion of death for ever.

Rejoyce then believers rejoyce! what though some of you have crooked and deformed bodies now? what though some of you are blinde or lame, or maimed, or have your bodies filled with irksome pains, and weakned with long sickness? what though you live in expectation of death, and these bodies, whatever their mold and shape be, must ere long be carried to the cold stinking grave, ⟨p. 275⟩and be turned into putrefaction? yet rejoice you that are believers, because your bodies will be made so glorious in the resurrection, when all blemishes of nature will be healed, and all sickness and pain will be removed, because they will be raised in incorruption, and freed from any more dominion of death for ever.
