V Of the ioyetofheaven. 853 There they fhall not be mole(led with wounds and skarres, nor worne out and confumed with fickneffes and difeafes; there fhal-be no loathfome leprolies, nor fpreading plagues, nor pining confumptions,nor raging feuers. There the head fhall be free from megrims, the hands from pallies, the feet from gouts, the eyes from dimneflle, the cares from deafe- ne(fe, the ioynts from lamene(fe, the bones fromaches, and the whole body both from defperate difeafes, and the final - left maladies. In a word, as the body fhall bee priuiledged from entertaining thefe harbingers of death, fo (hall they bee freed from gluing anymorelodging to that al- killing tyrant; for then not only the ding of death, but euen death r.Cor.r 5.5"4. it felfe (hal be taken away. 4.Seci. And thefe,withmany more,are the euils fromwhich our 4 bodies (hall be dehuered.The good things, and excellent Oftbegeod parts, which fhallbe communicated veto them,are diuers. úbeccommu.

Neitherdoth the Apoftle'fay that weefhall become fpirits, but that wee (hall haue fpirituall bodies. Now it is one thing to bee a fpi- rit,or fpirituall fubflance, and another thing to haue a fpiri- tuall body ; for a fpirit hash neither flefh nor bones,but a fpi- rituall body hash both. Againe, it is vnnaturall and impofli- ble for abody to bee changed into a fpirit, feeing they haue not the fame matter ; and contrary alfo to the Scriptures, which teach vs, that man limit rife to inherit glory : now a perfcéman conefleth as well of a body as ofa foule; and therefore hee cannot bee all fpirit, but muff haue as well a corporal( as a fpirituall fubflance.
