Use 2. Comfort. The Body shall rise again. This was Job's Comfort, Job 19.26. Though Worms destroy this Body, yet in my flesh shall I see God. The Body is sensible of Joy as well as the Soul: And indeed we shall not be in all our Glory, till our Bodies are re-united to our Souls. O consider what Joy there will be at the re-uniting of the Body and Soul at the Resurrection: Look what sweet Embraces of Joy were between Old Jacob and Joseph, when they first saw one another, Gen. 46.29. Such, and infinitely more, will there be when the Body and Soul of a Saint shall meet together at the Resurrection. How will the Body and Soul greet one another? What a welcome will the Soul give to the Body? O blessed Body! When I prayed thou didst attend my Prayers with hands lifted up, and Knees bowed down: Thou wert willing to suffer with me, and now thou shalt reign with me: Thou wert sown in dishonour, but now art raised in Glory. O my dear Body! I will enter into thee again, and be eternally married to thee.
