Answ. If the same numerical Body rise not, it will not be a Resurrection, but a new Creation; therefore that which the Apostle there intends, is the Manner of the Resurrection, i. e. how the Saints shall be raised. 'Tis not the same in respect of Weakness and Frailty; It is sown a natural Body, and shall be raised a spiritual Body; 'tis sown in Corruption, and shall be raised in Incorruption; 'tis sown in Weakness, and shall be raised in Power —. Which Thing a Grain of Corn that is sown, teaches.
Quest. Why shall the same Body of the Dead be raised?
Answ. Because the same Body of Christ was raised that suffered.
2. Because the same Body that suffered for Christ, shall be glorified with Christ.
3. Because the same Body that sinned, shall be punished: if not the same Body that sinned, it might reflect upon the Justice and Goodness of God to punish an innocent Body. Besides, those Scriptures must be fulfilled, which assert the Resurrection of the Body.
