8. Yea, so much power hath faith, that not
the believer only is saved, but some have been saved by others
believing. The paralytic in Capernaum was not a believer, but
they believed who brought him, and let him down through the
tiles Mark ii. 4.: for the sick man’s soul shared
the sickness of his body. And think not that I accuse him without
cause: the Gospel itself says, when Jesus saw, not his
faith, but their faith, He saith to the sick of the palsy,
Arise Matt. ix. 2, 6.! The bearers believed, and the sick of
the palsy enjoyed the blessing of the cure.
