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.

4. Where the soul is cured of the disease of sin, it is sick of love to Jesus Christ; it is not only weary of sin, but exceedingly longeth after the presence of Christ, and communion with God, Cant. 5.8. I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved, that ye tell him, I am sick of love.
