Secondly, I conceive this warrant for the deliverance of the sick man, is given out to the messenger or interpreter, to the one among a thousand, that visiteth him in his sickness. He having been with him, and dealt with his conscience, he having brought him into a good frame, the Lord is gracious,1 and in answer to his prayer, sets it upon his heart that he shall recover, and warrants him to tell him so, which is, declaratively, to deliver him from going down to the pit. This act of mans delivering the sick, is like that act of man pardoning the sinner (John 20.23.) that is, 'tis ministerial or declarative, not original nor Authoritative. The interpreter doth not deliver him, but tells him God will. We have the Psalmist speaking thus after his supplication and prayer made to the Lord for a sick State or Nation or for a sick Church (that's his scope, Psal: 85.) Wilt thou not revive us again, that thy people may rejoice in thee (v. 6.) Surely thou wilt, and he expresseth his confidence, that God would (v. 8.) I will hear what God the Lord will speak, for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his Saints. When he had prayed he would hearken for news, or for a message from heaven, whether or no, the Lord would order him to speak peace to those for whom he had been praying, and say, deliver them from going down to the pit. Thus did the Prophet Habakkuk, I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon my tower, and see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved (Chap: 2.1.) In the next verse, The Lord answered and said, write the vision and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. And what was the answer? surely deliverance; for having said, in the end it shall speak and not lye (v. 3.) he concludes (v. 4.) The just shall live by his faith. Believing deliverance, he shall at last be delivered from the pit of captivity and live.
