The bodies of the Saints at the resurrection shall be free from all sin, Paul shall not then complain of a law in his members rebelling against the law of his mind, nor cry out, Oh miserable man that I am, who shall deliver me from the body of this death? we shall at that day not only have a posse non peccare, a possibility not to sin, as Adam had in innocency, but a non posse peccare, an impossibility of sinning.

Edmund Calamy, The saint’s transfiguration, or, The body of vileness changed into a body of glory a sermon preached at Martins Ludgate, October 19, 1654, at the funeral of that reverend and faithful minister of Jesus Christ, Dr. Samuel Bolton, late master of Christs College in Cambridge: with a short account of his death (London: Joseph Crawford, 1655), p. 13.
