When the plague of leprosy is in a man
He has all the signs of it, and it is pretty manifest both to
himself and others that it is upon him;
then he shall be brought unto the priest;
by his friends and neighbours, if he is not willing to come of
himself: a sinner insensible of the leprosy of sin, and of his
unclean and miserable state through it, has no will to come to
Christ the great High Priest for cleansing; but one that is
sensible of it, and of Christ's ability to help and cleanse him,
will come freely and gladly, and importunately seek to him for
it; though indeed such an one is brought by powerful and
efficacious grace to him, yet not against, but with his full
will; see ( John 5:40 ) ( John 6:37 John 6:44 ) ; compare
with this ( Matthew
8:1-3 ) ( Luke
17:12-14 ) .
