Tenthly, another is this; the Gospel it comes with healing: as it hath a melting power, so it hath a healing power. Christ is described to come with healing in his wings: water makes the lime burn the more, but oil which provokes other things to burn quenches that: so it is with the oil of ⟨p. 104⟩the Gospel, Christ was anointed for this purpose, to heal thee, and to quench thy lust and corruptions, In Isai. 57. 18. we have an excellent promise, vers. 17. He went on frowardly in the way of his heart, mark what follows, I have seen his ways, and I will heal him.

The eleventh joyful sound is, that now being set at liberty by Christ, though thou doest sin not only against the law, but against the Gospel, thy sins against the Gospel shall not have power to root out any habits of grace; but still the grace of the Gospel will uphold the habits of grace in thy soul. It is otherwise with the law, for one offence against the law doth not only root out the habit that is contrary to that offence, but all other habits also: but the grace of the Gospel is such that the habits of grace within us are not touched.
