Rejoice then believers Rejoice! what though some of you have crooked and deformed bodies now? what though some of you are blind or lame, or maimed or have your Bodies filled with irksome pains, and weakened with long sickness? what though you live in expectation of death, and these bodies, whatever their mould and sha•e be, must ere long be carried to the cold stinking grave, and be turned into putrefaction? yet Rejoice you that are believers, because your bodies will be made so glorious in the Resurrection when all blemishes of nature will be healed, and all sickness and vain will be removed, because they will be raised in incorruption, and freed from any more dominion of death for ever.
