The Bodies of the Wicked shall be raised with Ignominy; those Bodies which on the Earth did tempt and allure others with their Beauty, shall be at the Resurrection loathsome to behold; they shall be ghastly Spectacles, as the Phrase is, Isa. 66.24. They shall be an abhorring unto all flesh. But the Bodies of the Saints shall be raised with Honour, 1 Cor. 15.43. It is sown in dishonour, it is raised in Glory.
