he_o command_v and_o it_o stand_v fast_o and_o this_o truth_n that_o jesus_n christ_n can_v by_o speak_v a_o word_n command_n and_o create_v the_o cure_n he_o prove_v by_o a_o argument_n take_v from_o the_o less_o to_o the_o great_a ver_fw-la 9_o for_o i_o be_o a_o man_n under_o authority_n have_v soldier_n under_o i_o etc._n etc._n you_o may_v easy_o see_v the_o strength_n of_o this_o argument_n in_o this_o plain_a paraphrase_n i_o be_o but_o a_o man_n and_o thou_o be_v the_o true_a god_n i_o be_o under_o authority_n but_o all_o the_o power_n in_o heaven_n and_o in_o earth_n be_v thou_o i_o have_v soldier_n and_o servant_n under_o i_o and_o thou_o have_v all_o thing_n under_o thou_o now_o say_v he_o if_o i_o bid_v my_o soldier_n go_v and_o march_v to_o such_o a_o place_n he_o go_v and_o if_o i_o command_v another_o to_o come_v from_o quarter_a in_o such_o a_o place_n he_o come_v and_o if_o i_o say_v to_o my_o servant_n do_v such_o a_o business_n he_o do_v it_o thus_o all_o sickness_n and_o disease_n be_v under_o thy_o command_n if_o thou_o say_v to_o a_o fever_n go_v and_o turn_v the_o moisture_n of_o such_o a_o one_o into_o the_o drought_n in_o summer_n it_o go_v and_o to_o the_o

command_v back_o a_o disease_n and_o say_v come_v away_o and_o spare_v the_o life_n of_o such_o a_o one_o it_o present_o come_v and_o again_o if_o thou_o bid_v any_o disease_n do_v this_o make_v such_o a_o father_n childless_a such_o a_o wife_n a_o widow_n such_o child_n fatherless_a it_o present_o do_v it_o and_o thus_o he_o wise_o and_o strong_o plead_v that_o all_o disease_n be_v at_o the_o will_n of_o jesus_n christ_n so_o that_o a_o word_n from_o he_o make_v they_o go_v and_o come_v and_o do_v what_o he_o will_n obs_n 4._o christ_n carriage_n after_o the_o centurion_n speech_n ver_fw-la 10._o when_o jesus_n hear_v it_o he_o marvel_v that_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o marvellous_a faith_n which_o make_v jesus_n christ_n himself_o to_o marvel_n 2._o he_o high_o commend_v the_o

of_o a_o gentile_a and_o this_o christ_n seem_v to_o intend_v by_o compare_v it_o with_o and_o prefer_v it_o before_o the_o faith_n of_o his_o israel_n say_v i_o have_v not_o find_v so_o great_a faith_n no_o not_o in_o israel_n 2._o because_o he_o do_v believe_v a_o great_a truth_n this_o be_v a_o great_a truth_n worthy_a of_o thy_o strong_a faith_n to_o be_v exercise_v in_o that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v that_o god_n who_o command_v and_o rule_v all_o the_o disease_n and_o sickness_n of_o man_n 3._o because_o of_o the_o great_a power_n and_o life_n which_o appear_v in_o the_o grace_n itself_o now_o the_o might_n and_o strength_n of_o his_o faith_n be_v see_v both_o because_o by_o it_o he_o see_v the_o substance_n of_o the_o truth_n with_o so_o much_o evidence_n and_o clearness_n and_o certainty_n as_o he_o do_v he_o do_v as_o plain_o see_v that_o christ_n have_v the_o command_n of_o disease_n as_o that_o he_o himself_o have_v the_o command_n of_o his_o soldier_n and_o servant_n belove_a the_o strong_a faith_n be_v the_o more_o plain_a and_o pierce_a insight_n it_o have_v into_o its_o object_n and_o the_o great_a power_n of_o his_o faith_n appear_v in_o believe_v this_o truth_n at_o such_o a_o time_n when_o the_o infinite_a power_n and_o eternal_a godhead_n of_o christ_n be_v so_o little_o know_v and_o believe_v in_o the_o world_n and_o last_o by_o the_o strong_a plead_n of_o his_o heart_n ground_v upon_o this_o truth_n whereby_o he_o draw_v virtue_n and_o power_n from_o christ_n to_o heal_v his_o die_a servant_n so_o that_o you_o see_v great_a reason_n why_o our_o saviour_n commend_v the_o greatness_n of_o the_o centurion_n faith_n 3._o our_o saviour_n from_o hence_o take_v occasion_n to_o teach_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o conversion_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o rejection_n of_o the_o gentile_n ver_fw-la 11_o 12._o and_o christ_n make_v this_o seasonable_a digression_n into_o this_o doctrine_n because_o at_o this_o time_n a_o poor_a gentile_n excel_v ever_o a_o jew_n of_o his_o age_n in_o believe_v the_o power_n of_o jesus_n christ_n last_o christ_n command_v the_o sick_a servant_n cure_v he_o speak_v such_o a_o word_n as_o the_o centurion_n do_v pray_v that_o he_o will_v and_o believe_v that_o he_o can_v speak_v ver_fw-la 13._o and_o jesus_n say_v unto_o the_o centurion_n go_v thy_o way_n and_o as_o thou_o have_v believe_v so_o be_v it_o do_v unto_o thou_o and_o his_o servant_n be_v heal_v in_o the_o selfsame_a hour_n and_o thus_o christ_n be_v honour_v for_o his_o miracle_n the_o centurion_n be_v honour_v for_o his_o faith_n and_o the_o poor_a die_a servant_n have_v the_o comfort_n of_o both_o i_o shall_v now_o pass_v by_o all_o other_o observation_n that_o may_v be_v make_v out_o of_o this_o text_n and_o only_o insist_v upon_o this_o one_o doctrine_n which_o i_o have_v choose_v to_o be_v the_o subject_n of_o this_o discourse_n viz._n doct._n that_o all_o sickness_n and_o disease_n be_v at_o the_o will_n and_o under_o the_o command_n and_o government_n of_o jesus_n christ_n so_o that_o he_o bid_v they_o go_v and_o come_v and_o do_v what_o he_o will_v to_o the_o child_n of_o man_n this_o doctrine_n be_v ground_v upon_o the_o centurion_n plead_v with_o christ_n that_o all_o disease_n be_v under_o his_o command_n and_o government_n as_o the_o centurion_n soldier_n be_v under_o he_o and_o also_o upon_o this_o that_o christ_n testify_v the_o truth_n of_o this_o in_o commend_v the_o centurion_n for_o the_o greatness_n of_o his_o faith_n in_o believe_v this_o truth_n and_o improve_n it_o as_o he_o do_v to_o prevent_v the_o misunderstanding_n of_o this_o doctrine_n i_o shall_v premise_v these_o three_o caution_n 1._o that_o i_o do_v not_o hereby_o deny_v the_o power_n and_o influence_n that_o inferior_a cause_n may_v have_v in_o bring_v disease_n upon_o we_o for_o i_o know_v that_o many_o sickness_n come_v from_o god_n through_o the_o hand_n of_o angel_n and_o devil_n and_o that_o other_o man_n and_o also_o ourselves_o and_o that_o unwholesome_a diet_n the_o season_n of_o the_o year_n and_o divers_a other_o thing_n may_v be_v the_o instrument_n and_o mean_n of_o disease_n unto_o we_o but_o yet_o god_n be_v the_o first_o and_o chief_a cause_n of_o all_o disease_n for_o it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o power_n of_o any_o creature_n to_o suspend_v or_o withhold_v that_o divine_a power_n and_o influence_n which_o cause_v our_o health_n but_o this_o be_v continue_v or_o deny_v unto_o we_o according_a to_o the_o will_n and_o pleasure_n of_o god_n and_o no_o creature_n can_v cause_v our_o trouble_n without_o god_n for_o without_o he_o a_o creature_n can_v neither_o be_v nor_o work_n but_o fall_v to_o nothing_o and_o so_o can_v do_v good_a or_o evil_n 2._o i_o do_v not_o exclude_v the_o art_n of_o physician_n nor_o deny_v the_o virtue_n that_o be_v in_o any_o medicine_n for_o the_o heal_n of_o disease_n know_v that_o the_o same_o god_n who_o have_v ordain_v food_n for_o our_o health_n have_v also_o ordain_v physic_n for_o we_o in_o our_o sickness_n but_o still_o the_o first_o and_o chief_a of_o all_o be_v jesus_n christ_n 3._o i_o do_v not_o exclude_v the_o power_n of_o god_n the_o father_n or_o of_o god_n the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o because_o i_o find_v that_o by_o disease_n god_n do_v execute_v great_a judgement_n in_o the_o world_n and_o that_o he_o be_v please_v to_o make_v great_a use_n of_o these_o in_o his_o government_n both_o of_o his_o church_n and_o of_o his_o enemy_n and_o that_o the_o father_n have_v commit_v all_o judgement_n to_o the_o son_n joh._n 5.22_o and_o because_o this_o command_n and_o government_n be_v ascribe_v to_o christ_n in_o the_o text_n therefore_o i_o shall_v frequent_o mention_v the_o name_n and_o authority_n of_o jesus_n christ_n god_n redeemer_n in_o this_o case_n now_o in_o the_o handle_n of_o the_o doctrine_n i_o shall_v follow_v this_o familiar_a method_n 1._o i_o shall_v explain_v the_o term_n 2._o i_o shall_v show_v for_o what_o end_v jesus_n christ_n do_v thus_o cause_n and_o command_v disease_n last_o i_o shall_v make_v use_n and_o application_n for_o the_o first_o in_o the_o explication_n i_o shall_v tell_v you_o what_o i_o mean_v by_o sickness_n and_o then_o explain_v the_o exercise_n of_o christ_n government_n and_o command_n of_o disease_n in_o those_o act_n of_o it_o
