Mt 8, Verses 14–15English original
And when Jesus was come into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother laid, and siek of a fever. And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them.
Or by Peter’s mother-in-law may be understood the Law, which according to the Apostle was made weak through the flesh, i. e. the carnal understanding. But when the Lord through the mystery of the Incarnation appeared visibly in the synagogue, and fulfilled the Law in action, and taught that it was to be understood spiritually; straightway it thus allied with the grace of the Gospel received such strength, that what had been the minister of death and punishment, became the minister of life and glory.
