help_v my_o unbelief_n the_o occasion_n of_o these_o word_n be_v declare_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o history_n which_o be_v this_o that_o a_o certain_a man_n have_v a_o child_n possess_v by_o the_o devil_n which_o have_v make_v he_o dumb_a and_o deaf_a and_o that_o from_o his_o childhood_n in_o so_o much_o that_o he_o can_v never_o speak_v nor_o hear_v in_o all_o his_o life_n this_o man_n in_o the_o absence_n of_o christ_n bring_v he_o to_o his_o disciple_n hear_v that_o they_o have_v dispossess_v other_o and_o therefore_o hope_v to_o find_v the_o like_a success_n for_o himself_o but_o when_o they_o have_v make_v trial_n they_o find_v themselves_o unable_a to_o cast_v the_o devil_n out_o of_o his_o child_n whereupon_o their_o adversary_n be_v ready_a to_o insult_v and_o triumph_v over_o they_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n our_o saviour_n come_v among_o they_o ready_a to_o undertake_v the_o cause_n of_o his_o poor_a disciple_n against_o their_o enemy_n the_o father_n of_o this_o distress_a child_n do_v forthwith_o hasten_v unto_o he_o and_o enter_v into_o speech_n with_o he_o now_o these_o word_n do_v contain_v part_n of_o that_o conference_n which_o pass_v betwixt_o they_o wherein_o we_o may_v note_v these_o three_o thing_n 1_o 1._o first_o the_o petition_n of_o the_o man_n with_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o he_o beseech_v our_o saviour_n if_o he_o can_v do_v any_o thing_n that_o he_o will_v have_v compassion_n on_o he_o and_o his_o son_n and_o minister_v comfort_n unto_o he_o by_o give_v deliverance_n unto_o his_o child_n from_o his_o miserable_a estate_n wherein_o he_o be_v and_o to_o move_v he_o un_o to_o great_a commiseration_n he_o relate_v unto_o he_o in_o what_o sort_n satan_n do_v tyrannize_v over_o he_o cast_v he_o oft_o time_n into_o the_o fire_n to_o

thou_o can_v do_v any_o thing_n so_o he_o answer_v he_o with_o the_o like_a if_o thou_o can_v believe_v this_o that_o be_v if_o thou_o can_v be_v persuade_v of_o my_o power_n that_o i_o be_o able_a to_o do_v this_o thy_o son_n shall_v be_v help_v for_o that_o must_v needs_o be_v supply_v and_o he_o yield_v a_o reason_n thereof_o all_o thing_n be_v possible_a to_o the_o believer_n vers_fw-la 23_o and_o therefore_o this_o be_v be_v not_o impossible_a as_o if_o christ_n jesus_n shall_v have_v say_v whereas_o thou_o make_v question_n whether_o i_o can_v dispossess_v thy_o son_n or_o not_o know_v this_o that_o if_o there_o be_v any_o doubt_n it_o be_v on_o thy_o part_n not_o on_o i_o if_o thou_o can_v believe_v thou_o shall_v find_v that_o neither_o this_o nor_o any_o other_o matter_n be_v too_o difficult_a for_o i_o this_o our_o saviour_n speak_v for_o the_o help_a of_o his_o weak_a faith_n 3_o three_o we_o may_v note_v the_o reply_n of_o this_o man_n upon_o christ_n his_o speech_n he_o cry_v with_o tear_n say_v lord_n i_o believe_v help_v my_o unbelief_n vers_fw-la 24._o where_o we_o see_v that_o he_o acknowledge_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n that_o he_o do_v believe_v in_o part_n and_o withal_o his_o own_o weakness_n that_o he_o be_v trouble_v with_o unbelief_n against_o which_o he_o desire_v christ_n to_o help_v he_o that_o be_v to_o cure_v he_o of_o it_o to_o give_v he_o strength_n against_o it_o and_o deliverance_n from_o it_o and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o order_n and_o sense_n of_o the_o word_n verse_n 22._o and_o oft_o time_n he_o cast_v he_o into_o the_o fire_n and_o into_o the_o water_n to_o destroy_v he_o whence_o observe_v this_o doctrine_n that_o body_n doct._n 1._o satan_n malice_n be_v bend_v even_o against_o man_n body_n satan_n be_v not_o only_o a_o enemy_n unto_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n but_o also_o unto_o their_o body_n he_o do_v not_o only_o seek_v their_o destruction_n spiritual_o by_o draw_v god_n wrath_n upon_o they_o but_o also_o corporal_o by_o bring_v affliction_n &_o misery_n upon_o they_o as_o here_o we_o may_v see_v by_o his_o cruel_a deal_n towards_o this_o child_n albeit_o he_o have_v get_v a_o habitation_n in_o he_o which_o be_v a_o thing_n wherein_o he_o much_o delight_v 8._o mark_n 5._o 8._o as_o may_v appear_v by_o this_o that_o he_o count_v it_o a_o torment_n to_o be_v cast_v out_o where_o once_o he_o have_v take_v possession_n yet_o he_o use_v great_a violence_n towards_o he_o cast_v he_o into_o the_o fire_n and_o into_o the_o water_n be_v content_a to_o relinquish_v and_o lose_v his_o hold_n so_o that_o the_o child_n may_v be_v destroy_v 5._o mark_n 5._o 5._o the_o like_a we_o may_v read_v in_o this_o same_o evangelist_n in_o his_o first_o chapter_n where_o mention_n be_v make_v of_o one_o possess_v who_o the_o devil_n cause_v to_o fly_v from_o and_o to_o eschew_v the_o company_n of_o man_n and_o to_o live_v in_o the_o mountain_n and_o in_o the_o grave_n and_o to_o knock_v himself_o with_o stone_n and_o so_o to_o abuse_v that_o strength_n which_o he_o have_v give_v he_o to_o his_o own_o great_a hurt_n and_o torment_n so_o also_o in_o his_o deal_n with_o job_n 1._o job._n 1._o and_o with_o his_o child_n and_o servant_n we_o may_v observe_v how_o willing_a he_o be_v to_o take_v liberty_n to_o hurt_v man_n body_n when_o it_o please_v the_o lord_n to_o grant_v it_o unto_o he_o and_o for_o the_o further_a confirmation_n of_o this_o point_n 1._o reason_n 1._o let_v we_o first_o take_v experience_n for_o one_o reason_n to_o convince_v we_o of_o the_o truth_n hereof_o and_o that_o in_o the_o limb_n of_o satan_n who_o be_v lead_v by_o his_o spirit_n do_v plain_o manifest_v of_o what_o disposition_n their_o master_n be_v now_o concern_v they_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o work_n of_o their_o father_n they_o will_v do_v and_o of_o satan_n it_o be_v say_v 44._o john_n 8._o 44._o that_o he_o be_v a_o murderer_n from_o the_o beginning_n whence_o it_o may_v be_v conclude_v that_o the_o more_o devilish_a man_n be_v the_o more_o murderous_a and_o bloody_a mind_n they_o carry_v and_o therefore_o when_o the_o devil_n be_v enter_v into_o judas_n he_o present_o fall_v to_o practise_v against_o his_o master_n 12._o 1._o john_n 3._o 12._o and_o cain_n be_v of_o that_o evil_a one_o slay_v his_o brother_n 11._o 1._o sam._n 18._o 10._o 11._o and_o when_o the_o evil_a

of_o such_o a_o cowardly_a heart_n as_o when_o we_o have_v speak_v well_o or_o do_v well_o to_o deprave_v the_o same_o by_o say_v that_o we_o be_v no_o better_a than_o hypocrite_n or_o by_o confess_v in_o word_n or_o writing_n that_o we_o be_v faulty_a nay_o let_v we_o never_o forgo_v our_o righteousness_n but_o justify_v ourselves_o in_o our_o righteous_a way_n and_o work_n and_o acknowledge_v with_o thankfulness_n and_o humility_n whatsoever_o good_a thing_n the_o lord_n have_v wrought_v in_o we_o or_o by_o we_o that_o so_o he_o may_v have_v his_o due_a praise_n and_o we_o such_o find_v

man_n their_o corruption_n and_o move_v they_o to_o seek_v help_n against_o they_o it_o be_v the_o property_n of_o grace_n to_o show_v man_n their_o corruption_n &_o to_o stir_v they_o up_o to_o seek_v help_n against_o the_o same_o as_o in_o this_o man_n it_o do_v evident_o appear_v who_o as_o he_o have_v infidelity_n in_o he_o so_o have_v faith_n withal_o have_v his_o infidelity_n discover_v and_o his_o heart_n move_v to_o seek_v unto_o christ_n jesus_n for_o strength_n against_o it_o the_o like_a may_v be_v observe_v in_o the_o prophet_n david_n who_o find_v his_o heart_n to_o be_v vex_v and_o turmoil_v within_o he_o first_o of_o all_o fall_v to_o reason_v the_o matter_n with_o his_o own_o soul_n say_v 6._o psal_n 42._o 5._o 6._o why_o be_v thou_o cast_v down_o my_o soul_n and_o why_o

raise_v up_o rebellion_n against_o the_o lord_n and_o therefore_o find_v his_o own_o disabilitie_n every_o way_n to_o encounter_v the_o same_o he_o in_o the_o next_o verse_n of_o that_o psalm_n put_v up_o his_o complaint_n unto_o the_o lord_n against_o it_o my_o god_n say_v he_o my_o soul_n be_v cast_v down_o within_o i_o etc._n etc._n as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v lord_n i_o find_v myself_o too_o weak_a to_o prevail_v against_o this_o corruption_n and_o therefore_o grant_v i_o strength_n to_o get_v the_o better_a of_o it_o again_o in_o another_o psalm_n to_o wit_n the_o 77._o 10._o psal_n 77._o 10._o he_o begin_v very_o lamentable_o as_o one_o utter_o out_o of_o heart_n almost_o conclude_v that_o the_o lord_n have_v quite_o forsake_v he_o and_o cast_v he_o out_o of_o his_o service_n but_o afterward_o he_o recover_v himself_o and_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v his_o infirmity_n so_o to_o imagine_v and_o thereupon_o labour_v to_o confirm_v his_o faith_n by_o consider_v of_o the_o time_n of_o old_a and_o of_o the_o wonderful_a work_n of_o god_n which_o he_o wrought_v for_o the_o good_a of_o his_o people_n in_o former_a age_n so_o also_o in_o the_o 73._o psalm_n 73._o psal_n 73._o we_o may_v note_v how_o the_o prophet_n take_v notice_n of_o his_o great_a infirmity_n in_o envy_v at_o wicked_a man_n prosperity_n and_o in_o the_o end_n go_v into_o the_o sanctuary_n to_o get_v help_n against_o it_o likewise_o in_o the_o prophecy_n of_o isaiah_n 63._o isaiah_n 63._o we_o may_v observe_v the_o like_a effect_n of_o grace_n in_o the_o people_n of_o god_n viz_o that_o they_o do_v discern_v of_o the_o hardness_n of_o their_o own_o heart_n and_o complain_v unto_o the_o lord_n against_o it_o reason_n reason_n now_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o point_n be_v these_o 1_o 1_o first_o because_o grace_n make_v man_n judicious_a and_o fill_v they_o full_a of_o knowledge_n and_o of_o heavenly_a understanding_n whereby_o they_o be_v enable_v to_o descry_v what_o be_v amiss_o within_o they_o god_n gracious_a spirit_n wheresoever_o it_o come_v bring_v a_o light_n in_o his_o hand_n whereby_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v noisome_a or_o unhandsome_a in_o the_o house_n be_v plain_o see_v and_o discover_v so_o that_o thereby_o man_n be_v make_v able_a to_o judge_v betwixt_o truth_n and_o falsehood_n and_o betwixt_o good_a and_o evil_a 2_o 2_o second_o as_o grace_n do_v inlighten_v the_o mind_n so_o do_v it_o also_o sanctify_v the_o affection_n of_o the_o party_n in_o who_o it_o be_v so_o that_o see_v what_o be_v good_a they_o shall_v long_o for_o it_o and_o earnest_o desire_v it_o &_o discern_v what_o be_v evil_a they_o shall_v hate_v it_o and_o fly_v from_o it_o as_o it_o bring_v light_a with_o it_o so_o it_o make_v man_n to_o be_v of_o a_o neat_a disposition_n that_o they_o can_v endure_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v fulsome_a and_o loathsome_a in_o their_o soul_n 5_o 5_o three_o grace_n make_v man_n industrious_a and_o ready_a to_o put_v
