Transfiguration of Jesus  

"I HAVE before preached, and have published the discourse I preached, on this fable of the Transfiguration of Christ, as it is called, the Metamorphosis, as it ought to be called. For it is of the same nature as Ovid's Metamorphoses. The word rendered he was transfigured μereμopQwen, in both Matthew's and Luke's gospel, is, as your own ear will admonish you, most literally—he was metamorphosed—that is, he was metamorphosed into the Sun: and the drollery of it is, that his coat, waistcoat, and breeches, and his shoes and stockings, if he had any, were metamorphosed too; they also partook of the divine beatification, which is a clear proof that the clothes we wear, are as capable of immortality as ourselves: and when we rise again in glorified bodies, we shall rise at the same time in glorified apparel, to cover our glorified bodies : as St. Paul says, "Not that we would be unclothed; " God forbid ! " but that we would be clothed upon." There will be nobody at the marriage supper of the lamb, but who will have the decency to appear in some sort of a wedding garment."--The Devil's Pulpit () by Robert Taylor
