The Occasion that moved Christ to work these Miracles was, because there were brought unto him fit objects to work upon. Hence we learn, that the charitable works of other in bringing their sick to Christ, gave him occasion to heal them. Reason was, first, to show the goodness of his nature, not only when the persons themselves sue unto him, but also when others entreat for them. Secondly, to show how he approves the good mind of others herein, as also their Faith.

Doct. All of all sorts are ready to seek remedies for the cure of bodily diseases: A Ruler, Joh. 4.46. a Beggar: Mark. 14.46. a Canaanitish woman, Matth. 15.22. because these outward diseases are sensible. This will be a witness against us all, that are so careless in seeking redress for our spiritual maladies.
