2. Where the soul is healed the sin is killed; the life of sin is the death of the soul, and that which is the life of the soul is the death of sin; if Christ heal the soul, he wounds sin, he never heals both; if sin be wounded to death, the soul is healed unto life; as in the body, the more health is repaired, the more the disease is weakened; so the more the soul is cured, the more sin is mortified.

3. Where the soul is healed, there grace is infused; sickness being removed, health is restored. When Christ heals a sinners soul, he doth not only mortify the sin, but sanctify the sinner; when a man is restored from sickness to health, that which made him sick is not only removed, but that is introduced which maketh him well; so when Christ cures the soul, he doth not only take down the power of sin, which did make him bad, but he infuseth that which doth make him good.
