Hath made thee whole. Faith brings health to the body. ⟨p. 438⟩There was a awoman vexed with an uncomfortable disease twelve years, bshe suffered many things of Physicians; some torturing her with one medicine, some with another, none did her good, but much hurt, cShe had spent all her living upon them, and herein, saith Erasmus, was bis misera: her sickness brought her to weakness, weakness to Physic, Physic to beggary, beggary to contempt. Thus was she anguished in body, vexed in mind, beggared in estate, despised in place, yet faith healed her.

He that sinneth before his Maker, let him fall into the hand of the Physician; that God had cast him away, yet Christ restored him.
