1. In Amability or sweetness of Beauty. Here the Bodies of the Righteous are oft deformed; Leah hath her blear Eyes, and Barzillai his lameness; but at the Resurrection the bodies of the Saints shall be of unspotted fairness: and no wonder, for they shall be made like Christs Glorious body, Phil. 3.21.
2. When God at the Resurrection makes up the Jewels of the Saints bodies, they shall have Perfection of parts. Their bodies in this World may be maimed and dismembered; but in the day of the Resurrection they shall have all the parts of their bodies restored, Acts 3.21. Such as have lost an Eye, shall have their Eye again; such as want a Leg or an Arm, shall have their Arm again.

3. When God makes up the Jewels of the Saints bodies at the Resurrection, ⟨p. 194⟩they shall be Velocious and quick in their Motion. Here the Bodies of the Saints move heavily: but then they shall be sprightly, and move swiftly from one place to another. Here the body is a Weight; in Heaven it shall be a Wing.
