familiar_o and_o to_o be_v assure_v that_o god_n will_v hear_v they_o for_o as_o saint_n paul_n teach_v we_o rom._n 4._o that_o that_o which_o be_v write_v of_o abraham_n faith_n which_o be_v impute_v

our_o lord_n from_o the_o dead_a so_o then_o hold_v certain_o that_o this_o benignity_n of_o our_o god_n in_o hear_v abraham_n demand_n that_o seem_v to_o be_v importunate_a be_v not_o propound_v only_o for_o abraham_n sake_n but_o for_o you_o also_o that_o believe_v that_o you_o may_v have_v this_o assurance_n that_o god_n be_v even_o delight_v and_o desire_v to_o be_v importune_v by_o his_o child_n and_o be_v not_o offend_v with_o this_o filial_a freedom_n which_o proceed_v from_o the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n that_o he_o love_v this_o holy_a obstinacy_n who_o according_a to_o jacob_n wrestle_v with_o he_o let_v he_o not_o go_v till_o it_o have_v get_v a_o blessing_n or_o after_o the_o example_n of_o the_o woman_n of_o canaan_n who_o be_v often_o repulse_v by_o jesus_n christ_n yea_o even_o so_o far_o as_o to_o be_v compare_v by_o he_o to_o a_o dog_n yet_o at_o last_o she_o obtain_v beside_o the_o cure_n of_o her_o daughter_n this_o testimony_n of_o christ_n that_o her_o faith_n be_v great_a and_o that_o he_o have_v not_o find_v so_o great_a a_o faith_n no_o not_o in_o israel_n and_o this_o be_v that_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n of_o freeness_n and_o liberty_n which_o make_v that_o as_o in_o affliction_n we_o have_v rather_o fall_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n then_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o man_n because_o his_o compassion_n be_v great_a and_o many_o so_o in_o matter_n of_o demand_n and_o request_v we_o dare_v ask_v of_o he_o such_o thing_n as_o we_o dare_v not_o ask_v of_o man_n because_o his_o grace_n and_o goodness_n be_v according_a to_o his_o

his_o freewill_n and_o without_o any_o constraint_n notwithstanding_o he_o will_v have_v we_o to_o think_v that_o he_o give_v it_o to_o our_o importunity_n and_o continuance_n in_o prayer_n as_o we_o

give_v he_o as_o many_o as_o he_o need_v and_o by_o the_o example_n of_o a_o unjust_a judge_n which_o dispatch_v the_o poor_a widow_n of_o her_o suit_n to_o deliver_v himself_o from_o her_o importunity_n whence_o christ_n say_v shall_v not_o god_n avenge_v his_o own_o elect_a which_o cry_v day_n and_o night_n unto_o he_o though_o he_o bear_v long_o with_o they_o this_o confidence_n and_o familiarity_n of_o pray_v unto_o god_n shall_v no_o more_o bar_n humility_n than_o it_o do_v in_o abraham_n who_o amidst_o his_o request_n full_a of_o liberty_n acknowledge_v himself_o notwithstanding_o to_o be_v naught_o but_o dust_n and_o ash_n there_o be_v a_o humble_a familiarity_n a_o humility_n with_o freeness_n which_o be_v draw_v to_o by_o love_n diminish_v not_o the_o
