When Christ had cast the legion of Devils out of the man of whom you read, Mark 5. He bid him go home to his Friends and tell it. Go home, saith he, to thy friends, and tell them how great things God has done for thee, and has had compassion on thee, Mark 5.19. Christ Jesus seeks a Name, and desireth a Fame in the World; and therefore, or the better to obtain that, he commands that mercy should first be proffered to the biggest sinners, because by the saying of one of them, he makes all men marvel. As 'tis said of the man l•st mentioned, whom Christ cured toward the beginning of his Ministry: And he departed, says the Text, and began to publish in Decapolis, ⟨p. 32⟩how great things Jesus had done for him, and all men did marvel, Ver. 20.
