2. The Bodies of the Saints, when they arise, shall be free from the Necessities of Nature, as Hunger and Thirst, Rev. 7.16. They shall hunger no more. Moses on the Mount was so filled with the Glory of God, that he needed not the Recruits of Nature: Much more in Heaven shall the Bodies of the Saints, so filled with Gods Glory, be upheld without Food.

3. The Bodies of Saints, when they arise, shall be swift and nimble; our Bodies on Earth are dull and heavy in their Motion; then they shall be swift and made fit to ascend, as the Body of Elijah in the Air. Now the Body is a Clog; in Heaven it shall be a Wing: We shall be as the Angels, Matt. 22.30. And how nimble are they? The Angel Gabriel in a short time came from Heaven to the Earth, Dan. 9.21. As the Helm turns the Ship instantly whether the Steersman will; so the Body in an instant will move which way the Soul will.
