eat_v of_o the_o crumb_n which_o fall_v from_o their_o master_n table_n the_o lord_n have_v in_o a_o manner_n call_v her_o dog_n and_o say_v it_o be_v not_o for_o dog_n to_o have_v child_n bread_n she_o do_v not_o deny_v it_o but_o she_o grapple_v with_o grace_n and_o say_v truth_n lord_n yet_o dog_n may_v have_v a_o crumb_n etc._n etc._n i_o shall_v put_v all_o that_o be_v speak_v here_o of_o her_o carriage_n into_o one_o lesson_n but_o before_o i_o do_v that_o i_o shall_v name_v two_o other_o observable_a point_n the_o first_o be_v this_o a_o right_a faith_n come_v and_z carrying_z of_o the_o soul_n to_o christ_n be_v a_o resolute_a faith_n that_o be_v one_o point_n i_o will_v name_v pray_v mark_v it_o the_o lord_n jesus_n seem_v to_o put_v she_o off_o he_o give_v she_o nothing_o that_o be_v a_o visible_a encouragement_n yet_o she_o will_v go_v on_o and_o yet_o she_o will_v not_o be_v put_v off_o when_o the_o soul_n come_v to_o christ_n he_o come_v as_o one_o that_o need_v a_o christ_n and_o want_v a_o christ_n will_v have_v and_o as_o one_o that_o must_v have_v a_o christ_n and_o what_o then_o he_o will_v have_v a_o christ_n before_o he_o go_v away_o though_o he_o have_v not_o evidence_n he_o will_v have_v adherence_n though_o the_o soul_n can_v see_v nothing_o and_o though_o no_o hope_n yet_o he_o will_v be_v resolute_a although_o christ_n will_v not_o smile_v though_o conscience_n be_v not_o quiet_a though_o the_o wound_n be_v not_o heal_v though_o the_o lord_n put_v off_o angry_o yet_o the_o soul_n keep_v resolute_a to_o he_o and_o will_v not_o be_v send_v away_o empty_a faith_n if_o right_a be_v still_o resolute_a the_o second_o point_n that_o i_o shall_v name_v be_v this_o that_o a_o right_a faith_n know_v how_o to_o confess_v and_o believe_v at_o once_o a_o true_a believer_n will_v not_o conceal_v his_o sin_n yet_o will_v close_v with_o jesus_n christ_n a_o right_a faith_n will_v deny_v nothing_o and_o yet_o it_o will_v believe_v all_o thing_n my_o brethren_n mark_v it_o a_o little_a there_o be_v a_o company_n of_o vile_a people_n that_o be_v as_o they_o say_v all_o for_o faith_n and_o nothing_o for_o confession_n and_o what_o say_v they_o believer_n it_o be_v not_o for_o they_o to_o come_v and_o confess_v sin_n why_o a_o believer_n will_v confess_v sin_n do_v the_o lord_n say_v dog_n yes_o truth_n lord_n i_o be_o a_o dog_n will_v the_o soul_n say_v as_o this_o woman_n do_v there_o be_v other_o that_o will_v confess_v and_o not_o believe_v oh_o they_o cry_v out_o they_o must_v confess_v and_o bewail_v and_o lie_v low_a and_o humble_v themselves_o etc._n etc._n but_o they_o can_v believe_v they_o dare_v not_o believe_v confession_n be_v their_o work_n etc._n etc._n why_o poor_a heart_n you_o may_v do_v both_o you_o may_v say_v lord_n i_o be_o a_o sinner_n yet_o i_o believe_v for_o mercy_n be_v for_o sinner_n i_o be_o ungodly_a yet_o i_o believe_v for_o abraham_n believe_v in_o he_o who_o justifi_v the_o ungodly_a i_o be_o a_o dog_n as_o thou_o say_v lord_n yet_o i_o believe_v a_o dog_n may_v gather_v up_o a_o crumb_n well_o remember_v it_o true_a faith_n do_v not_o hinder_v confession_n nor_o confession_n shall_v not_o hinder_v faith_n but_o the_o particular_a lesson_n of_o the_o place_n be_v this_o namely_o that_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n the_o wisdom_n the_o glory_n of_o poor_a soul_n to_o carry_v it_o holy_o and_o humble_o unto_o christ_n when_o christ_n seem_v to_o carry_v it_o harsh_o unto_o they_o so_o do_v this_o poor_a woman_n or_o if_o you_o will_v take_v it_o short_o thus_o it_o become_v christian_n to_o carry_v it_o real_o well_o when_o christ_n carry_v it_o seem_o ill_n i_o know_v my_o brethren_n this_o be_v a_o hard_a work_n but_o as_o hard_o as_o it_o be_v we_o must_v learn_v it_o and_o i_o will_v assure_v you_o if_o ever_o god_n intend_v to_o do_v you_o good_a though_o flesh_n and_o blood_n murmur_v yet_o the_o lord_n will_v whip_v you_o into_o this_o lesson_n but_o he_o will_v make_v you_o learn_v it_o namely_o to_o carry_v it_o holy_o to_o he_o when_o he_o carry_v it_o seem_o harsh_a to_o you_o i_o remember_v that_o passage_n in_o 1_o pet._n 2.18_o servant_n be_v obedient_a to_o your_o master_n not_o only_o to_o the_o good_a and_o gentle_a but_o also_o to_o the_o froward_a it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o a_o servant_n profess_v the_o name_n of_o god_n though_o he_o have_v a_o froward_a master_n yet_o he_o must_v carry_v it_o well_o now_o mark_v it_o be_v it_o the_o duty_n of_o a_o servant_n to_o carry_v it_o well_o to_o a_o bad_a master_n and_o be_v it_o not_o the_o duty_n of_o saint_n to_o carry_v it_o well_o to_o christ_n we_o be_v the_o servant_n he_o be_v the_o master_n so_o in_o heb._n 12.9_o mark_v the_o apostle_n argumentation_n say_v he_o we_o have_v have_v father_n of_o our_o flesh_n which_o correct_v we_o and_o we_o give_v they_o reverence_n shall_v we_o not_o much_o rather_o be_v in_o subjection_n unto_o the_o father_n of_o spirit_n and_o l●ve_v mark_v there_o be_v life_n in_o this_o our_o life_n depend_v on_o our_o reverend_a carriage_n in_o this_o case_n alas_o if_o christ_n be_v go_v our_o life_n go_v with_o he_o carry_v it_o well_o therefore_o if_o thou_o love_v thy_o life_n you_o must_v be_v subject_a and_o submissive_a even_o when_o he_o seem_v to_o be_v sharp_a otherwise_o death_n be_v at_o the_o door_n mind_v it_o then_o will_v you_o have_v a_o pardon_n and_o do_v christ_n seem_v to_o deny_v you_o where_o can_v you_o go_v for_o it_o but_o to_o he_o and_o when_o you_o come_v if_o you_o submit_v there_o it_o be_v soul_n in_o the_o point_n be_v your_o life_n therefore_o mark_v the_o lesson_n well_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n wisdom_n and_o glory_n of_o saint_n to_o carry_v it_o well_o to_o christ_n when_o he_o carry_v it_o seem_o ill_a to_o they_o there_o be_v four_o person_n in_o the_o book_n of_o god_n record_v that_o god_n do_v seem_v to_o deal_v very_o hardly_o withal_o and_o of_o
