If I had time, there are many places of Scripture I would crave leave to open to you concerning this, we shall at that day be made equal to the Angels: it is sown a corruptible body, but raised an incorruptible body: it is sown in dishonour, it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power: it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body, &c. And many other places; but I shall confine my self to the expression here in the Text, These vile bodies of ours shall be made [Greek or Hebrew], conformable to the glorious body of Christ; and this is enough to set out the excellency of them; for the body of Christ now in heaven certainly is unexpressibly glorious, you have a specification of this in his transfiguration, the face of Christ did shine as the Sun, in so much that Peter was swallowed up with the brightness of that glory; and yet that was but a glimpse of his glory now in heaven, Rev. 2. 2. There shall be no need of the Sun there, for the Lamb shall be the light of Heaven.
