(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.

3. If you say you are so sick you cannot go to Christ, Send for him by fervent prayer and he will come to you: Cry to him, O thou Physician of souls, ⟨p. 156⟩I am sick, so sick that I cannot come unto thee, and except thou heal me I am a dead man▪ a damned soul. I beseech thee use thy skill, for that will save my soul alive, put forth thy power for the curing of my diseases, Oh stanch this bloody issue, else my soul will bleed to death; Christ never refused to come to any sick soul that was importunate with him to come with healing under his wings.
