Healing

"I know men's atheism and infidelity will never lack somewhat to say against the most eminent providences, though they were miracles... but when mercies [i.e. of healing] are granted in the very time of prayer, and when, to reason, there is no hope, and without the use or help of any other means... is not this as plain as if God from Heaven should say to us: I am fulfilling to thee the true word of my promise in Christ my Sonne? How many times have I known the prayer of faith to save the sick when all physicians have given them up as dead!"
Richard Baxter, When The Spirit Comes With Power, p. 20.
