Christs Leaves are better than Adams Aprons. Ezekiel saith, that these Leaves1 are for medicine, that is, they are for healing, saith John; the which may most fitly be applied to the blessed promise of Grace, for as a Leaf for Medicine, when applied to a sore in the body doth supple, mollify, and heal the wound; so the ⟨p. 281⟩word of Promise when rightly applied to the soul, it doth supple, mollify and heal the wounded conscience; He sent his word and healed them, and delivered them from their distractions. O that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wondrous works to the Children of men! Psal. 107. 20, 21.
