We abuse our Physician, thrust him away, we bolt out our Physician, yet Christ doth not forsake us, but comes again, and applies his Sovereign oils and balsams. Isa. 65.3. I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people. Christ puts up wrongs and incivilities, and is resolved to ⟨p. 496⟩go thorough with the cure. Oh the love of this heavenly Physician!
