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.
