Read the pla•e: A physician serveth but for sick men, & that for such men as feel their sickness, & mourn therefore, and long for health.1 Christ likewise serveth but for sinners only that feel their sin, and that for such sins as sorrow & mourn in their harts for health. Health is the power or strength to fulfil the law, or to keep the commandments: Now he that longeth for that health, that is to say, for to do the law of God, is blessed in Christ, and hath a promise that his lust shall be fulfilled, and that he shall be made whole. Blessed are they which hunger and thirst for righteousness sake (that is, to fulfil the law) for their lust shall be fulfilled,2 Matth. 5.
