Among the diseases that Christ healed, there were no doubt, some loathsome, and some infectious: hear observe. First, Christ loathed none of them, being full of pity, and the more grievous the disease, the more pitiful. Which gives us comfort and confidence to go unto him, though never so loathsome and contemptible in our own eyes; yea, the rather because of i•; and further teacheth us to be of a like mind towards others. Secondly, that Christ was not capable of infection, which as it is gathered here in general, so it expressly Matth. 8.3. proved, by curing the Leper. For Christ was not infected with our personal diseases, being from the corruption of our nature.
