It is (saith he) because God is his health.1 That is to say, One that hath not only taken him from the sickness and danger of sin, the tyranny of the devil, and damnation of the law: but also preserveth him in the same state, that he fall not again, into the sickness and peril that he was delivered from.2 Whereof we learn, that it is not mans labours, nor mans works that helpeth a sinner, and saveth a damnable soul: but it is the free work and undeserved mercy of almighty God. Wherefore we be taught, that There is no health, but in God alone.
