Whence observe:
Doctr. 2. That Jesus Christ is a soul-physician. Doctr. 2 Ministers (as was said before) are Physicians, whom Christ doth in his Name delegate, and send abroad into the world. He saith to the Apostles, and in them to all his Ministers, Lo I am with you to the end of the world, Matth. 28.20. That is, I am with you to assist and bless you, and to make your Ministry healing; but though Ministers are Physicians, yet but under-physicians. Jesus Christ is the [Greek or Hebrew]. the Chief Physician; he it is that teacheth us all our Receipts, and goes forth with our labours, else the physic we prescribe would never work; ⟨p. 486⟩all the Ministers under heaven would not do any cure without the help of this Great Physician. For the Amplification of this I shall show 1. That Christ is a Physician. 2. Why he is a Physician. 3. That he is the only Physician. 4. How he heals his Patients. 5. That he is the best Physician.
Doctr. 2. That Jesus Christ is a soul-physitian. Doctr. 2 Ministers (as was said before) are Physitians, whom Christ doth in his Name delegate, and send abroad into the world. He saith to the Apostles, and in them to all his Ministers, Lo I am with you to the end of the world, Matth. 28.20. That is, I am with you to assist and bless you, and to make your Ministry healing; but though Ministe•s are Physitians, yet but under-physitians. Jesus Christ is the 〈non-Latin alphabet〉. the Chief Physitian; he it is that teacheth us all our Receits, and goes forth with our labours, else the physick we prescribe would never work; ⟨p. 486⟩
