Lord, Thou didst Afflict me, with Pain of the Teeth; and when it was so great, that I could not speak, it came into my mind, to admonish my Friends present to Pray for me, unto the God of all Health. Writing this on Wax, I gave it 'em to Read; and as soon as we kneeled down, the pain went away. I was amazed, I confess, my Lord, my God; for I had never found any thing like it, in all my Life.
All that I have now to say, is;
Ha's God given us, an Heart, for to Acknowledge the Merit of our Lord Jesus Christ, as Purchasing our Deliverance from ⟨p. 44⟩Sickness? It is said, in 1 Pet. 2.24. By His Stripes ye were Healed. All we have been like Run away Servants, [and the Apostle is there discoursing to Servants ▪] and we deserve Stripes for our thus Running away from the Service of God. In Sickness there are some of our Deserved Stripes laid upon us; but when we come out of Sickness, do we, with a Thankful Soul make this Acknowledgement; My Lord Jesus Christ, ha's felt the Stripes that were due to me, and thus tis, that I am Healed!
