3. Then Christ shall free them from a necessity of food to sustain them, and of nourishment from the use of creatures, by which they are repaired and supported daily on this side the grave, but on the other side of the grave they shall need this no more than the Angels do in heaven.
4. Then Christ shall free them from that weariness that now our bodies often feel, and do groan under; for he will make them strong and powerful bodies. Now-a-days work in the service of God doth weary our bodies; but hereafter though they shall be employed through an endless eternity, in ⟨p. 190⟩praising and glorifying of God, they shall neither be weary of it through wickedness, nor weary in it through weakness, for as much as Christ will free them from both, 1 Cor. 15.42, 43.
