5. Christ himself drank that bitter cup which we should have drunk, and by his taking the potion we are healed and saved. Thus Christ hath shown more love than ever Physician did to the Patient.

5. Christ is the most cheap Physician; sickness is not only a consumption to the body, but the purse, Luke 8.43. Physicians fees are chargeable, but Jesus Christ gives us our physic freely,1 he takes no fee, Isa. 55.1. Come without money and without price. He desires us to bring nothing to him, but broken hearts; and when he hath cured us he desires us to bestow nothing upon him, but our love; and one would think that were very reasonable.
