(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.

(5.) Christ can heal your soul-diseases throughly and effectually, and he only can do it; others will but skin over your wound, but Christ will heal to the bottom, Jer. 6.14. They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, peace, peace, when there is no peace. Thus if you consider what a Physician Christ is, you may be encouraged to come to him for healing.
