For with the highest propriety the\r\nhelp of bodily diseases is called the healing art—an art acquired by\r\nhuman skill. But the paternal Word is the only Pæonian physician of\r\nhuman infirmities, and the holy charmer of the sick soul. “Save,” it is\r\nsaid, “Thy servant, O my God, who trusteth in Thee. Pity me, O Lord;\r\nfor I will cry to Thee all the day.”<a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_163\" id=\"FNanchor_163\">[163]</a> For a while the “physician’s\r\nart,” according to Democritus, “heals the diseases of the body; wisdom\r\nfrees the soul from passion.” But the good Instructor, the Wisdom, the\r\nWord of the Father, who made man, cares for the whole nature of His\r\ncreature; the all-sufficient Physician of humanity, the Saviour, heals\r\nboth body and soul. “Rise up,” He said to the paralytic; “take the\r\nbed on which thou liest, and go away home;”<a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_164\" id=\"FNanchor_164\">[164]</a><span class=\"pagenum\" id=\"Page_117\">[117]</span> and straightway the\r\ninfirm man received strength. And to the dead He said, “Lazarus, go\r\nforth;” and the dead man issued from his coffin such as he was ere he\r\ndied, having undergone resurrection. Further, He heals the soul itself\r\nby precepts and gifts—by precepts indeed, in course of time, but being\r\nliberal in His gifts, He says to us sinners, “Thy sins be forgiven\r\nthee.”<a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_165\" id=\"FNanchor_165\">[165]</a></p>","headings":["THE WRITINGS OF CLEMENT OF ALEXANDRIA.","THE INSTRUCTOR.","BOOK I.","CHAPTER II.
