1. 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. The Saints Bodies then shall shine as sparkling Diamonds, Matt. 13.43. Then shall the righteous shine forth as the Sun.

2. The Bodies of the Saints shall arise out of their Graves with Triumph: The Bodies of the Wicked shall come out of the Grave with Trembling, as being to receive their fatal Doom: But the Godly, when they awake out of the Dust, shall sing for Joy, Isa. 26.19. Awake and sing ye that dwell in the dust. When the Arch-angels Trumpet sounds, then the Saints shall sing: The Bodies of Believers shall come out of the Grave to be made happy: As the chief Butler came out of Prison, and was restored to all his Dignity at the Court: But the Bodies of the Wicked shall come out of the Grave, as the chief Baker out of Prison to be executed,
