A54583	A learned, pious, and practical commentary, upon the Gospel according to St. Mark wherein the sacred text is logically analyzed; the meaning of the holy Spirit clearly and soundly opened: doctrines naturally raised, strongly confirmed, vindicated from exceptions, and excellent inferences deduced from them: all seeming differences in the history between this and the other evangelists fairly reconciled: many important cases of conscience, judiciously, succinctly, and perspicuously solved. By that laborious and faithful servant of Christ, Mr. George Petter, late Minister of the Gospel at Bread in Sussex.	Petter, George.	1661 (1661)	Wing P1888; ESTC R220413	2,138,384	918

child_n viz._n 1._o our_o saviour_n come_n back_o again_o to_o his_o disciple_n after_o his_o transfigurarion_n together_o with_o those_o accident_n which_o thereupon_o immediate_o happen_v ver_fw-la

our_o saviour_n christ_n ●eeing_v the_o child_n to_o be_v in_o such_o a_o miserable_a case_n and_o have_v also_o be_v so_o earnest_o seek_v unto_o by_o the_o father_n of_o the_o child_n to_o show_v mercy_n on_o he_o shall_v yet_o make_v further_a delay_n and_o instead_o of_o dispossess_v and_o heal_v the_o child_n shall_v stand_v question_v thus_o about_o the_o time_n how_o long_o he_o have_v be_v so_o etc._n etc._n which_o may_v seem_v impertinent_a and_o unseasonable_a at_o this_o time_n as_o if_o one_o come_v to_o quench_v a_o house_n on_o fire_n shall_v not_o set_v to_o his_o help_a hand_n present_o but_o stand_v question_v how_o the_o fire_n come_v or_o how_o long_o it_o have_v continue_v etc._n etc._n but_o all_o this_o be_v do_v and_o this_o delay_n make_v by_o our_o saviour_n for_o just_a and_o good_a cause_n partly_o for_o the_o more_o thorough_a trial_n and_o exercise_n of_o the_o faith_n of_o this_o father_n of_o the_o child_n and_o partly_o that_o by_o this_o mean_v the_o long_a continuance_n of_o this_o heavy_a affliction_n and_o misery_n of_o the_o child_n and_o consequent_o the_o grievousness_n thereof_o be_v by_o the_o father_n answer_n make_v know_v the_o greatness_n of_o the_o miracle_n and_o of_o christ_n power_n therein_o show_v may_v the_o more_o appear_v now_o further_o whereas_o ou●_n saviour_n do_v ask_v this_o question_n how_o long_o this_o child_n have_v be_v in_o this_o case_n this_o be_v not_o because_o he_o be_v ignorant_a hereof_o before_o he_o ask_v for_o by_o his_o divine_a spirit_n as_o he_o be_v god_n he_o know_v it_o already_o but_o hereby_o to_o give_v occasion_n to_o the_o father_n of_o the_o child_n to_o relate_v the_o matter_n to_o this_o end_n that_o both_o himself_o may_v be_v the_o more_o affect_v with_o the_o grievousness_n of_o his_o son_n misery_n be_v of_o so_o long_a continuance_n and_o also_o that_o by_o this_o mean_v the_o power_n and_o goodness_n of_o christ_n may_v the_o more_o appear_v in_o help_v and_o deliver_v he_o at_o last_o and_o so_o the_o weak_a faith_n of_o the_o father_n may_v be_v the_o more_o confirm_v when_o he_o shall_v afterward_o see_v his_o son_n deliver_v from_o so_o grievous_a a_o affliction_n which_o have_v be_v so_o long_o upon_o he_o observe_v observe_v the_o lord_n do_v sometime_o delay_n and_o put_v off_o the_o deliverance_n of_o his_o child_n and_o servant_n out_o of_o their_o trouble_n though_o he_o have_v a_o purpose_n to_o deliver_v they_o and_o that_o not_o long_o after_o perhaps_o yet_o he_o do_v in_o the_o mean_a time_n delay_n and_o put_v off_o the_o time_n of_o deliverance_n hold_v they_o still_o under_o the_o cross_n and_o suffer_v their_o affliction_n to_o continue_v still_o either_o in_o their_o own_o person_n or_o in_o such_o as_o belong_v unto_o they_o yea_o even_o then_o when_o their_o affliction_n do_v grow_v more_o and_o more_o sharp_a and_o grievous_a yet_o still_o he_o do_v make_v delay_n thus_o our_o saviour_n deal_v with_o this_o father_n of_o the_o child_n possess_v though_o he_o see_v his_o child_n more_o and_o more_o torment_v by_o the_o devil_n which_o can_v not_o but_o more_o increase_v the_o affliction_n and_o grief_n of_o the_o father_n yet_o for_o all_o this_o he_o do_v make_v further_a delay_n by_o ask_v this_o question_n of_o he_o about_o the_o time_n how_o long_o etc._n etc._n so_o we_o hear_v

ver_fw-la 22._o of_o the_o first_o part_n and_o he_o say_v of_o a_o child_n or_o from_o his_o childhood_n or_o infancy_n now_o this_o by_o the_o way_n show_v that_o this_o possess_a party_n be_v no_o
