CHAPTER V.

6. Q. _What learn you from CHRIST’s asking this question? “Wilt thou be made whole?”_

_A._ That he will know our wants from ourselves.

8. Q. _What learn you from CHRIST’s bidding him to take up his bed and walk?_

_A._ That though CHRIST is the first mover in recovering us from our natural and spiritual impotency, yet we must concur in the use of means.

9. Q. _What learn you from CHRIST’s doing so many works on the Sabbath?_

_A._ That doing good, is a proper way of sanctifying the Sabbath.

13. Q. _What learn you by CHRIST’s conveying himself from the multitude?_

_A._ That we should do good, but endeavour at the same time to avoid the praise of man.

14. Q. _What learn you from CHRIST’s finding the man that was healed, in the temple?_

_A._ That it is good to see people, after they are recovered from their sickness, going to the temple to return thanks unto GOD.

Q. _What learn you from the latter part of this verse?_

_A._ That sickness is often sent as a punishment for sin. That if we do not mend when GOD chastises us with whips, or light afflictions, we must expect to be chastised with scorpions, or greater trials.

18. Q. _What learn you from the latter part of this verse?_

_A._ That the _Jews_ thought, though the Arians deny it, that JESUS CHRIST believed and made himself to be very GOD.

35. Q. _What learn you hence?_

_A._ That people generally like a good minister for a little while, but afterwards familiarity breeds contempt.

41. Q. _What learn you hence, and in the 44th verse?_

_A._ That we should seek that honour only which cometh from GOD, as also that it is impossible to be a christian, if we seek to please the world.
