The Persons whose bodies shall be thus changed and they are such who have their conversation in Heaven But our conversation is in Heaven from whence we look for a Saviour who shall change our vile body Not every vile body but our vile body The bodies of the wicked shall be ugly and loathsome but the bodies of those whose dispositions and actions are heavenly shall be beautifull and glorious 4. The Person that shall make this great change in our bodies and he is the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour 5. The time when this great transfiguration shall be made and that is at the great day of judgment when our Saviour the Lord Jesus Christ shall come from Heaven for this very end and purpose to fashion our vile bodies like unto his glorious body 6. The means by which all this shall be accomplished and that is According to the working whereby he is able to subdue all things unto himself and therefore able to make this glorious transfiguration and transformation of our bodies 7. The use we are to make of all this and that is To wait and expect to long and look for the coming of our Lord Jesus to judgment for the accomplishing of this glorious Metamorphosis From whence we look for a Saviour By what hath been already said you may perceive that this Text is a pretious Cabinet full of many excellent Jewels for here is The doctrine 1. Of the bodies vility fragility and mortality 2. Of the resurrection of the just 3. Of the bodies immortality and glorification at the resurrection 4. Of the great and dreadfull day of judgment 5. Of the great errand and message for which Christ shall come to judgement and that is to glorifie our bodies Now all these Doctrines are very suitable to such an Assembly as this is the Lord make them as profitable to you as they are seasonable for you My purpose is to pick out only two of these Jewels and to shew you 1. What is the condition of our bodies for the present 2 What our bodies shall be at the resurrection First To speak of the {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} then of the {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} first of the body of vilenesse then of the body of glory Doct. 1. That the bodies even of the best of Saints for the present are vile bodies Doct. 2. That the Lord Jesus Christ at the great day of judgment shall raise these vile bodies and charge them into the likenesse of his own glorious body Doct. 1. That the bodies even of the best of Saints for the present are vile bodies The holy Apostle foresaw how prone men and women would be to be proud of their bodies to pamper them to spend all their time and lay out all their strength to provide for their bodies even with the neglect of their more pretious souls And therefore that he might wean people from the immoderate love of their bodies he purposely calls them vile bodies and 1 Cor. 15. 43 he calls them dishonourable bodies or bodies of dishonour {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} Qu. But you will demand In what respects may the body be said to be a vile body Ans. The body may be said to be a vile body 1. In reference to its primitive constitution even before it was defiled with sin for it was made of dust of the earth the and not of dust simply but of dust mingled with water of clay and muddy dust ex pulvero limoso lutoso The body was not made of coelestiall materials of the Sunne Moon or Starres nor of pretious materials of gold or silver but of the worst and lowest of the elements ex fragili vili materiâ of frail and perishing of ignoble and contemptible materials and therefore may fitly be called a vile body 2. Since the fall of Adam our bodies are called vile bodies because subject to vile diseases therei 's no disease so vile but the body of man is subject unto Job was a man eminent in godliness yet his body was full of soars and biles ●●om the crown of his head to the sole of his foot and he saies of himself Job 7. 5. My flesh is cloathed with worms and clods of dust my skin is broken and become loathsome Who can reckon up all the diseases that mans body is liable unto The Stone the Govt Leprosie Plague Colick Strangury Diabolicall possession Madness Sciatica and small Pox are not the tithe of them and therefore it may fitly be called a vile body 3. Because subject to vile abuses by Tyrants and cruell Persecutors A Tyrant cannot hurt the soul of a child of God but he can torture and kill his body It is said of the blessed Martyrs of whom the world was not worthy Heb. 11. 37. They were stoned they were sawed asunder were slain with the sword They wandred about in Sheep-skins and Goat-skins destitute afflicted and tormented All these sufferings were bodily and therefore it may well be termed a vile body 4. Because subject to vile abominations and wickednesses For since the fall of Adam our bodies are instruments of unrighteousness unto sinne Rom. 6. 13. they are servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity Rom. 6. 19 In some to drunkenness in others to adultery theevery and murder in others to sodomy by which the bodies of men are made vile and dishonourable according to the saying of the Apostle Rom. 1. 24. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts to dishonour their own bodies between themselves 5. Because even in the best of Saints it is a great impediment and hindrance to their immortall souls and therefore called sepulchrum animae and vinculum animae The sepulcher of the soul the fetters and manacles of the soul For the most pretious soul 1. It is hidden in the body as a man in a dark dungeon or as a bright candle in a dark lantern the excellent nature beauty and glorious operations of it cannot be seen For it may be said of the soul as Plato saith of vertue that if a man could but see it he could not but love it but it is hidden in the body as in a prison 2. It is hindred by the body in three respects 1. It is hindred from Heaven
