This then is our Physician in whom alone is saving health. As Sybilla sung of him. [Greek or Hebrew].

He wrought all things with his word, and healed every disease with his power. To Him let us resort, confessing our sores, our sorrows. ^qThey that be whole need not a Physician, but they that are sick. ^rFoolish m•n, because of their iniquities, are afflicted: that their soul abhorreth all manner of meat, and th•y draw near to the •ates of death.

Non taquam ad Dominum titularem, sed tanquam ad Dominum tutelarem: as one elegantly.
