5 Doctrine. The LORD healed all Davids diseases.
Here we have three things to be explained.
1 Wherein this healing consists. As be∣fore it was said of diseases, so (there being the same reason of contraries) healing also [〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉] bath for its proper subject the body naturall ill affected by some disease or wound; but by Metaphor it may be transferred to other things also. For as in the proper sense he is said to heale, who takes away that which hinders the health of the body so in the me∣taphoricall, he who takes away from any thing that which hinders the well being of it.
