He that is spiritually made, or made a new creature, is made for ever, and in every strait he may look to God his Maker, as a helper and restorer. He that made us when we were nothing, can help us when we are reduced to a very nothing. ⟨p. 70⟩It is an encouragement to go to God for healing, because he hath wounded us; Come, and let us return unto the Lord, (saith the Church) for he hath torn, and he will heal us, he hath smitten, and he will bind us up, (Hos. 6.1.) Much more is it an encouragement to go unto God to be our healer, because he hath been our Maker. He that hath made us, can mend us; He that built us, can repair us, if we say, as we ought, and have been taught, Where is God our maker?
