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.
4. If you would be healed, you must come to Christs-Hospital, i. e. unto Christs Ordinances, and this you may do; if you cannot come to Christ, yet you may come unto his Ordinances, you may come and hear, you may attend at the pools side, and at length he might come, and put you into the healing waters, Mat. 21.14. And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them, Psal. 107.20. He sent his word and healed them.
