1Now the Lord cures accurately, as Chirurgeons do by purgation, and allaying the misery, so the Lord heals his people §1by taking away the cause, and the malignancy of that trouble which is upon them. So thou that art under any particular trouble or affliction, if God sanctify that trouble by taking away the cause of it, God may be said to heal, though the affliction be not quite taken away.

- 1How God heals.
Then God may be said to heal by Fomentation, as Chirurgeons use to do, when the part is able to resist and oppose that which would feed the humour: so when the Lord puts strength into the soul to oppose disquieting and vexing thoughts that sinks into the soul from its afflictions: now where this work is accomplished the soul is healed.
