Answ. 6 6. All are not healed, because they have not confidence in their Physician; it is observable when Christ came to work any cure, he first put this question, Believe ye that I am able to do this? Matth. 9.28. This undoes many; oh saith the sinner, There's no mercy for me, Christ cannot heal me. Take heed, thy unbelief is worse ⟨p. 493⟩than all thy other diseases. Did not Christ pray for them that crucified him? FATHER FORGIVE THEM! Some of those were saved that had an hand in shedding his blood*! Why then dost thou say Christ cannot heal thee? unbelief dishonours Christ, it hinders from a cure, it closeth the Orifice of Christs wounds, it stauncheth his blood, Matth. 15.58. Millions dye of their disease, because they do not believe in their Physician.
