(3.) Christ will proceed in this cure with all compassion and tenderness; he will not deal more roughly with you than is needful, he exerciseth bowels of compassions while he is dressing his patient, or if he give you bitter potions, ⟨p. 155⟩or sometimes useth corrosives, he will be exceeding tender over you all this while, Mat. 14.14. And Jesus went forth and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.

(4.) Christ is a Physician that is always present with his Patients, to observe what operation his Medicines have upon their hearts; if you are ready to faint under the terror of a threatening, he is by you presently to administer a cordial from the promise to uphold your swooning souls. Other Physicians cannot be always present with all their Patients, but Christ is, Psal. 34.18. He is nigh to them that are of a broken heart, and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit: If your heart be broken, he is nigh to bind it up.
