Glory is a shining brightness, a resplendent lightsomeness, or a Celestial sparkling splendour of the Body, whereby it may be thought to exceed all the beauty and splendour of Gems, Pearls, Heavens, Sun, Moon, and Stars, yea even of the Heaven of Heavens, though all were put together. The third Heavens (though exceeding all inferior Creatures) as we saw before, are but the place of these Bodies, which shall be like unto his glorious Body, Philip. 3.21.
