unto a worm thou art my father and unto rottenness thou art my mother Thus you see what we are food for worms but let us take heed we meet not with another worm and that 's the worm of Conscience it is no matter though other worms eat us Though I be meat for worms saith Job yet I know that my Redeemer lives and that I shall see him with these eyes c. But the worm of Conscience shall never die the fire of Hell shall never go out And if your bodies be vile of themselves make them not viler The Drunkard he makes himself a swine and the Glutton he makes it an hoggeshead the adulterer makes his body the member of an harlot yet with a good Conscience though this be our misery that they are vile bodies yet this shall be our happiness that they shall be made like unto his glorious body And there are four special indowments or privileges of a glorious body Impassibility Activity Spirituality and Clarity First Impassibility we shall be past suffering at the last day sentire est pati even to feel is to suffer now and in every action there is a passion but it shall not be so hereafter when our bodies shall be changed then there shall be no sorrow no fainting no crying Farewel Gout and Stone and Strangury and all if I shall be brought to happiness I shall be brought to safety Secondly there is Activity here our bodies are dull and slow these Asses of ours must be beaten and spurr'd and whipt to do any good our spirit may be willing when our flesh is weak It shall not be so hereafter we shall be vigorous and active and lively and these our bodies which are now so dull shall be then lively and go on with cheerfulnesse And thirdly it is a spiritual body corpus spirituale a spiritual body but not a spirit it shall be spiritual but not a spirit Fourthly it shall be a clear body a clarified body that 's the fourth prerogative of a glorified body Daniel 12.1 The righteous shall shine like the stars in the Firmament and those that convert many to righteousness like the Sun for ever and ever nay more then this our Saviour goes farther they shall shine sicut Sol in potestate like the Sun in its strength yet farther here in the Text our bodies shall be like unto his glorious body What sayest thou Paul faith Saint Chrysostome to Saint Paul here Dost thou know what thou sayest What like unto Christs glorious body That body that sits at Gods right hand that body that is worshipped by Angels Yes like unto his glorious body Let me then look for the saving of my soul Let the world weep for what they please I will weep more for the losse of my body and soul I wonder saith Saint Chrysostome That men should give away their souls throw them away upon trifles to disrobe themselves of this transcendent glory to lose such a glory as this is to be made like unto the glorious body of our Saviour Wilt thou cast away this soul what a madnesse is it of thee Many men do compare the pain of losse with the pain of sence which the damned have in Hell and do think the pain of losse to be worse then the pain of sence To lose the sight of my Saviour to lose this glory that I should have arrived at this sticks more at me then all the pains of Hell could do so I may enjoy my God O Lord whatever thou takest from me take not from me this glory this eternal glory Lord here cut me and slay me do what thou wilt with me onely save my soul There are many losses in this world of husbands of children of goods by unfaithful servants by fire by irreligious and prodigal children but these are not to be named when we speak of the losse of Heaven And therefore to conclude this point I lose my father my mother my husband my wise my children but from this this losse this eternal losse of the soul good Lord deliver us And thus much the fourth Preacher He was also even in Heaven while he was on earth as his Text speaks Our conversation is in Heaven and if ever there were a lively Commentary upon the Text his Preaching was the Commentary it self he was an example next to the example of Saint Paul while he preached he spake as if he had been in Heaven And thus have I run this race done this task laid upon me with my small abilities I hope you will not lay unto my charge the slips the infirmities which have passed from me The three last they were old Disciples of Christ they made among them two hundred and thirty or two hundred and forty years Christ doth love old Disciples and he loves young ones he loves old Disciples because they hold out so long and he loves young Disciples because they begin so soon Juniores Discipulos Christus diligit c. Christ loved his young Disciples best because they began early he loves his old Disciples because they cleave closely unto him But the Tyrant time requires another discourse of me but I must tell you before hand that it will be but as a dinner of herbs after a Feast of fat things Take it as it is You have heard of the death of our Saviour in the first of the resurrection of our Saviour and of his manner of rising in the second you have heard of the mercy of God in the forgivenesse of sin propounded to all that serve him in an heavenly conversation in the third and of our body by an heavenly conversation transformed to be like unto his glorious body in the fourth These are rare mysteries and when we have said all we can we must break off with silence with amazement and stupefaction These are deep mysteries we are not able to sound them with our corrupt judgement Great is the mystery of Godliness God manifest in the flesh seen of Angels c. We are not able to conceive of him we cannot expresse him and therefore I think it will cohere with the matter in hand to display before your eyes the profoundnesse of these mysteries which we may see in 1 Cor. 13.9 A Sermon Preached by Master Price at S. Paul's Church on Low-Sunday May 2. 1641. 1 CORINTHIANS 13.9 For we know but in part and we prophecie but in part AS the eleventh Chapter of the Epistle to the Hebrews may be called the Triumph of Faith so this Chapter may be well stiled the Triumph of Love Which triumphant grace besides that it is invested with admirable qualities and seconded by glorious effects and besides that it bears away the bell from the knowledge of the brain from the prophecie of the tongue the eloquence of that little member the munificence of the hand and the Martyrdome of the whole body All which we find spoken of in this Chapter Without love what is faith but fancie what is
