In-Text To him alone must we fly as to the Physician of our Souls; who saith to us under the Gospel, as once to Israel under the Law, I am the Lord God that healeth thee, Exod. 15. 26. He alone (saith St. Peter ) is the Head-stone of the Corner, nor is there Salvation in any other, (Acts 4. 11, 12.) It pleased the Father, that in him should all Fulness dwell, (Coloss. 1. 19) And of his Fulness have all we received Grace for Grace, (John 1. 16.) All things necessary to life, and to life Eternal, are delivered to him of the Father, (Matth. 11. 27.) And this 'twill be easy out of Scripture, (for I am speaking to Believers, I should not else produce a Text,) to make apparent by an Induction. For first if we are hungry, He alone is the Bread of Life, which whoso eateth shall live for ever, (John 6. 58.) Next if we are thirsty, He alone is the living Water, which whoso drinketh shall never thirst, (John 4. 13.) Thirdly if we are foul, He alone has that Blood by which we may be cleansed from all our Sins, (1 John 1. 7.) Fourthly if we are foolish, He is the Wisdom of the Father, who hath laid up in Him all the Treasures of Knowledge, (Coloss. 2. 3.) He is Doctor Catholicus, and only He. For when he was transfigur'd upon Mount Tabor, a bright Cloud overshadow'd him, and behold a voice out of the Cloud, This is my beloved Son, Hunc Audite, Hear Him, (Matth. 17. 15.) It is the Top of that Wisdom which we are capable of on Earth, to sit with Mary at his Feet, and to hear his Word, (Luke 10. 39, 42.) Fifthly if we inquire for the only true way, which leadeth unto life, and to life Eternal, He alone is the Way, the Truth, To him alone must we fly as to the physician of our Souls; who Says to us under the Gospel, as once to Israel under the Law, I am the Lord God that heals thee, Exod 15. 26. He alone (Says Saint Peter) is the Headstone of the Corner, nor is there Salvation in any other, (Acts 4. 11, 12.) It pleased the Father, that in him should all Fullness dwell, (Coloss. 1. 19) And of his Fullness have all we received Grace for Grace, (John 1. 16.) All things necessary to life, and to life Eternal, Are Delivered to him of the Father, (Matthew 11. 27.) And this it'll be easy out of Scripture, (for I am speaking to Believers, I should not Else produce a Text,) to make apparent by an Induction. For First if we Are hungry, He alone is the Bred of Life, which whoso Eateth shall live for ever, (John 6. 58.) Next if we Are thirsty, He alone is the living Water, which whoso Drinketh shall never thirst, (John 4. 13.) Thirdly if we Are foul, He alone has that Blood by which we may be cleansed from all our Sins, (1 John 1. 7.) Fourthly if we Are foolish, He is the Wisdom of the Father, who hath laid up in Him all the Treasures of Knowledge, (Coloss. 2. 3.) He is Doctor Catholicus, and only He. For when he was transfigured upon Mount Tabor, a bright Cloud overshadowed him, and behold a voice out of the Cloud, This is my Beloved Son, Hunc Audite, Hear Him, (Matthew 17. 15.) It is the Top of that Wisdom which we Are capable of on Earth, to fit with Marry At his Feet, and to hear his Word, (Lycia 10. 39, 42.) Fifthly if we inquire for the only true Way, which leads unto life, and to life Eternal, He alone is the Way, the Truth, p-acp pno31 av-j vmb pns12 vvi a-acp p-acp dt n1 pp-f po12 n2; r-crq vvz p-acp pno12 p-acp dt n1, c-acp a-acp pc-acp np1 p-acp dt n1, pns11 vbm dt n1 np1 cst vvz pno21, np1 crd crd pns31 av-j (vvz n1 np1) vbz dt n1 pp-f dt n1, ccx vbz pc-acp n1 p-acp d n-jn, (n2 crd crd, crd) pn31 vvd dt n1, cst p-acp pno31 vmd av-d n1 vvi, (np1 crd crd) cc pp-f po31 n1 vhb d po12 j-vvn n1 p-acp n1, (np1 crd crd) d n2 j p-acp n1, cc p-acp n1 j, vbr vvn p-acp pno31 pp-f dt n1, (np1 crd crd) cc d pn31|vmb vbi j av pp-f n1, (c-acp pns11 vbm vvg p-acp n2, pns11 vmd xx av vvi dt n1,) pc-acp vvi j p-acp dt n1. p-acp ord cs pns12 vbr j, pns31 av-j vbz dt n1 pp-f n1, r-crq r-crq vvz vmb vvi p-acp av, (np1 crd crd) ord cs pns12 vbr j, pns31 av-j vbz dt j-vvg n1, r-crq r-crq vvz vmb av-x vvi, (np1 crd crd) ord cs pns12 vbr j, pns31 av-j vhz cst n1 p-acp r-crq pns12 vmb vbi vvn p-acp d po12 n2, (vvd np1 crd crd) ord cs pns12 vbr j, pns31 vbz dt n1 pp-f dt n1, r-crq vhz vvn a-acp p-acp pno31 d dt n2 pp-f n1, (np1 crd crd) pns31 vbz n1 np1, cc av-j pns31 c-acp c-crq pns31 vbds vvn p-acp n1 n1, dt j n1 vvn pno31, cc vvb dt n1 av pp-f dt n1, d vbz po11 j-vvn n1, fw-la fw-la, vvb pno31, (np1 crd crd) pn31 vbz dt vvb pp-f d n1 r-crq pns12 vbr j pp-f p-acp n1, pc-acp vvi p-acp uh p-acp po31 n2, cc p-acp vvb po31 n1, (n1 crd crd, crd) ord cs pns12 vvb p-acp dt j j n1, r-crq vvz p-acp n1, cc p-acp n1 j, pns31 av-j vbz dt n1, dt n1,
