Matthew9:13

Verse 13. They that be whole.] There are none such, but in conceit only. The civil [illegible: 1 word] ails nothing, complains of nothing, is as sound as a Roch: but no such sound heart can come to heaven: as (in another sense) none but sound can come there: only sensible sinners are capable of cure and comfort, such as see themselves Christ [illegible: 1 word] creatures. Need not the Physitian.] And the Physitian needs them as [illegible: 1 word]: he came not, oares not for them, they have as much help from him as they seek. Presumption is as a chain to their neck, and they believe their interest in Christ, when it is no such thing: They [illegible: 1 word] a bridge of their own shadow, and so fall into the brook; they perish by catching at their own catch, hanging on their own fancy, which they falsly call and count faith.
