THIS medicine for men is so great, as that thought cannot reach unto it. For what pride can be healed if it be not healed by the humiliation of the Son of God?
What covetousness can be healed if it be not healed by the poverty of the Son of God?
What wrath can be healed if it be not healed by the long-suffering of the Son of God?
What ungodliness can be healed if it be not healed by the love of the Son of God?
Finally, what fearfulness can be healed if it be not healed by the Resurrection of the body of Christ the Lord?
