III. The Bride in the Marriage-Day is usually richly adorned; if a Princess, or a Person of a noble and honourable Descent, she is excellently clad and adorned with rare and costly Jewels, that the Bridegroom may take the more Delight in her: So the Church, and consequently every Godly Christian, shall in the Day of the Resurrection be most richly clothed with Robes of Immortality.1 The Marriage of the Lamb is come, and his Wife hath made her self ready, 2and to her was granted, she should be arrayed in fine Linen, clean and white, &c. The King's Daughter is all glorious within: her Clothing is of wrought Gold, she shall be brought to the King in Raiment of Needle-work, &c. Some by these white and glorious Robes understand the imputed Righteousness of Jesus Christ: Others, the Righteousness of Sanctification: Some others conclude they are both intended, and not only so, but also those heavenly Robes, with which the Bodies of the Saints shall be clothed in the Day of the Resurrection, which none are able to describe: however, all conclude the Church in that Day shall shine forth so in Glory and Beauty, that Men and Angels shall admire her. No Bride ever appeared in such Splendour, or so richly clothed and adorned, as the Bride, the Lamb's Wife, shall when the Marriage of the Lamb is come.
