I Proceed now to the next Privilege which is to come,§8 viz. The bodies of the Saints shall be enamelled with glory. In ⟨p. 188⟩this life the body is infirm, Physicians have much ado to piece it up; it is like a Picture out of frame, or an house out of repair, every storm of sickness it rains through. O anima, ¹quàm deform hospitium nacta es! How doth the excellent soul oft lodge in a deformed body? The body is like a piece of rotten wood, diseases like worms breed there, fevers, pleurisies, aches, &c. But this body shall be made glorious at the resurrection, it shall neither have diseases nor defects; Leah shall no more complain of her blear eyes, nor Barzillai of his lameness. There are five Properties of the glorified bodies.
