ON THE RESURRECTION OF THE BODY.
[Preached at Northallerton, on Easter Sunday, 1829.]
1 COR. xv. 35-44.
Some man will say, How are the dead raised up? And
with what body do they come? That which thou sowest
is not quickened, except it die: and that which thou
sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare
grain. All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one
flesh of man, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes,
another of birds. So also is the resurrection of the dead.
It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: it is
sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in
weakness; it is raised in power: it is sown a natural body;
it is raised a spiritual body

the way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, O
house of Israel; Is not my way equal? Are not your
ways unequal? When a righteous man turneth away
from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth
in them; for his iniquity that he hath done, shall he die.
-Again, when the wicked man turneth away from his
wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which
is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive. There-
fore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one ac-
cording to his ways, saith the Lord God. Repent, and
turn from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be
your ruin

1 KINGS Xviii. 21. 24.
And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long
halt ye between two opinions? If the Lord be God, follow

and the God that answereth by fire, let Him be God.... 446
