wrest the holy Scriptures to give them countenance They turn the sacred Scriptures into Philosophical burlesque and apply them to the groundless fancies and vain superstitions of a fabulous Philosopher Beware of such corrupters of the Divine truth who bring in damnable doctrines that are incompatible with the Christian Systeme and deny the great Articles of our Belief as the Resurrection of the dead the Misery of Mankind by nature the Incarnation of Christ the Covenant of Grace and Life everlasting and the like which were so highly contended for against the wit and malice of the Heathen and the errors of those that held contrarily thereto were accordingly condemn'd in the five general Councils Beware of those they are Original errors and in that the more dangerous and of evil consequence by how much the more ancient Now for the correcting of these and many such gross conceits we must not think that Allegories run on four feet nor must Metaphors be driven from their borrowed to their natural Senses We shall therefore here endeavour to shew two things First That by being clothed upon the Apostle means the retaining of the same body at the Resurrection not any new not any other body Secondly What that is that makes this body an house from heaven 1. It is the same body that is Clothed upon For he says that he would not be found naked but have 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 swallowed up of life that is that mortal should put on immortality Now there is no abolition nor transubstantiation the same remains but altered in quality like Christ's body at the Transfiguration on the Mount which was a Praeludium of the Resurrection So must our vile bodies be fashioned according to that pattern Phil. 3.21 and it is this mortal that must be so fashioned Thus Christ himself arose with the same body to the conviction of Thomas with flesh and bones and scares The miraculous resuscitations of some in the Gospel were perambulatory proofs of the Resurrection as at Christ's Passion many bodies of Saints which slept arose and came out of their Graves Mat. 27.52 53. And such is the description of all that rise they are said to sleep in the dust and to be in their Graves The Sea and the Grave must deliver up their dead Rev. 20.13 and they refund but what was in their custody Nor can there be a Resurrection unless the same body be restored for it is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 a quickning or setting up that which first fell now the spirit of man falls not it goes upward the soul dies not 't is the body that dies And that body that before was depriv'd of life and that has its particular individuation and distinction from other bodies even that very body shall rise again Resurget caro quidem omnis quidem ipsa quidem integra Bern. Can the justice of God permit that these bodies that suffered for him here should be rewarded in a Substitute that these should contend and be victors and others carry away the Crown Must they not all appear before the Judgment Seat to receive the things done in the body 2 Cor. 5.10 It is the same mortal body that shall be quickned Rom. 8.11 Death shall give up it's dead and that to be judged every man according to his works Rev. 20.13 Now this is not to be understood of the soul but of the body for it 's the body that dies this death delivers up which reunited with the soul does constitute and make the man who is to be judged and this extends to every individual person for Every man is to be judged and that according to their works which are their own and not the works of any other and these works done in that very individual body And thus it is evident that it is the very same body that is to be rais'd again which is here express'd by being clothed upon 2. What that is that makes this body an house from heaven That this mortal body is to be raised again from the dead we do believe and that this mortal body shall then be gloriously altered as to heavenly qualities and endowments is a truth which Believers are well satisfied in Now wherein this glorious alteration stands which makes this body an house from heaven is to be enquired into And this the Apostle gives in a fourfold Morphosis 1 Cor. 15.42 43. 1. This body is raised in incorruption Here the body is liable to corruption but when raised again shall see no corruption It shall not be obnoxious to fragility and breakings to stench and diseases to putrifying sores and corrupting aggressions preparing it to be meat for worms It shall be freed from passion not liable to feel nor suffer under the sense of such evils as here it is burdened with The Saints raised from the dead are as the Angels of God in heaven they die no more death is swallowed up in perfect victory to them 2. 'T is raised in glory Here 't is a vile and inglorious body but then it shall be gloriously fashioned at the Resurrection As the face of Christ at his Transfiguration did shine as the Sun and Moses and Elias did then appear in glory arraied with beauty and Majesty so the bodies of the Saints shall be full of glory The Prophet Daniel does thus express this change saying And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the Firmament and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever Dan. 12.3 3. 'T is raised in power not needing any of those supports that the body in this life does necessarily call for Here the body would fail were it not supported and from time to time prop'd up by the continued accessions of meat and drink and sleep and rest But there the body shall need none of these supplies but be ever powerful and active to the performance of those heavenly exercises and employments to which it is appointed without the help of these This power wherein the body is to be raised and which the body is to be vested with does imply its strength for action without weakness and it's agility for exercise without dulness and this by virtue of that power only and that to all eternity 4. 'T is rais'd a spiritual body Here it is onely natural there it shall be spiritual The naturality of the body shall be changed into a spirituality Now this spiritual change does import two things 1. That the bodies of the Saints shall be freed from the dregs of the earth no more of that gross matter of that lumpish leaven in them they shall be spiritualiz'd and purified from their earthly dross 2. The spirituality of the body does import the perfect subjection of the body to the spirit without a lust to the contrary or the least gainsaying motion No sensual appetite or unruly passion then begging and craving satisfaction or maintaining a Plea or Claim to that which the spirit
