7. Lastly, Before the Jailer came, he saw himself undone; Acts 16. 29, 30, 31. And I tell thee, It is an easier thing to persuade a Well-Man to go to the Physician for Cure, or a Man without Hurt, to seek out for a Plaster to Cure him; than it is to persuade a Man, that sees not his Soul-Disease, to come to Jesus Christ. The Whole have No need of the Physician: Then, Why should they go to him? The full Pitcher can hold no more; then, Why should it go to the Fountain? ⟨p. 277⟩And, if thou comest full, thou comest not aright; and be sure, Christ will send thee Empty away: But he healeth the Broken in Heart, and bindeth up their Wounds, Mar. 2. 17. Psal. 147. 3. Luk. 1. 53.
