they_o so_o they_o may_v be_v rid_v of_o the_o exclamation_n and_o outcry_n that_o she_o make_v after_o they_o to_o cause_v all_o the_o world_n to_o wonder_v at_o they_o three_o christ_n grant_v nothing_o at_o their_o request_n but_o rather_o flat_o deny_v that_o he_o will_v have_v any_o thing_n to_o do_v with_o she_o four_o if_o she_o have_v pray_v to_o they_o and_o they_o make_v intercession_n for_o she_o and_o obtain_v their_o desire_n yet_o there_o be_v great_a difference_n between_o pray_v to_o they_o that_o be_v dead_a and_o pray_v to_o they_o that_o be_v alive_a and_o therefore_o it_o be_v marvel_v what_o they_o mean_v to_o gather_v a_o argument_n for_o the_o invocation_n of_o dead_a saint_n out_o of_o this_o place_n where_o neither_o the_o woman_n pray_v to_o the_o apostle_n nor_o the_o apostle_n pray_v for_o she_o nor_o christ_n grant_v any_o thing_n at_o their_o request_n and_o beside_o all_o this_o the_o apostle_n be_v not_o dead_a but_o alive_a they_o shall_v have_v small_a comfort_n i_o trow_v in_o this_o example_n yet_o such_o for_o all_o the_o world_n be_v the_o rest_n of_o their_o argument_n the_o virgin_n mary_n pray_v for_o the_o bridegroom_n when_o she_o say_v 2_o they_o have_v no_o wine_n if_o this_o be_v a_o request_n what_o be_v her_o answer_n woman_n what_o have_v i_o to_o do_v with_o thou_o 11._o but_o above_o the_o rest_n they_o have_v one_o notable_a example_n of_o the_o rich_a man_n that_o be_v in_o the_o torment_n of_o hell_n pray_v unto_o abraham_n no_o doubt_v a_o worthy_a example_n for_o we_o to_o follow_v that_o of_o a_o damn_a spirit_n in_o hell_n we_o must_v learn_v to_o make_v our_o prayer_n unto_o saint_n in_o heaven_n by_o such_o authority_n the_o doctrine_n of_o devil_n may_v well_o be_v establish_v but_o the_o child_n of_o god_n be_v teach_v a_o other_o form_n of_o prayer_n by_o their_o heavenly-schoole_n master_n but_o what_o remedy_n find_v the_o rich_a man_n by_o pray_v to_o abraham_n that_o we_o may_v be_v encourage_v by_o his_o example_n to_o pray_v to_o saint_n he_o make_v two_o request_n and_o neither_o of_o they_o both_o be_v grant_v alas_o what_o comfort_n shall_v any_o man_n take_v by_o these_o example_n to_o pray_v to_o dead_a saint_n and_o yet_o these_o be_v the_o best_a reason_n they_o have_v out_o of_o the_o scripture_n sure_o it_o be_v a_o pitiful_a case_n that_o man_n will_v leave_v god_n who_o have_v command_v we_o to_o call_v upon_o he_o and_o promise_v to_o hear_v we_o to_o call_v upon_o dead_a man_n to_o who_o we_o have_v no_o commandment_n nor_o example_n of_o any_o godly_a person_n to_o pray_v neither_o have_v they_o make_v any_o promise_n neither_o if_o they_o have_v make_v any_o promise_n be_v they_o able_a to_o perform_v it_o but_o let_v we_o leave_v the_o papist_n with_o their_o woeful_a argument_n and_o return_v to_o the_o apostle_n in_o their_o request_n make_v unto_o christ_n dismiss_v she_o say_v they_o for_o she_o cry_v after_o us._n by_o these_o word_n we_o may_v easy_o perceive_v how_o importunate_o she_o continue_v her_o suit_n although_o he_o hold_v his_o peace_n &_o answer_v she_o not_o one_o word_n for_o still_o she_o cry_v and_o be_v nothing_o discourage_v whereby_o we_o see_v that_o this_o first_o repulse_n do_v so_o little_o diminish_v her_o desire_n that_o it_o kindle_v it_o more_o &_o more_o and_o so_o do_v god_n oftentime_o in_o suspending_a and_o defer_v the_o answer_n and_o effect_n of_o our_o prayer_n provoke_v we_o most_o earnest_o to_o pray_v both_o that_o we_o may_v know_v of_o who_o we_o have_v receive_v a_o benefit_n and_o that_o we_o may_v the_o more_o esteem_v it_o when_o we_o have_v it_o and_o so_o render_v worthy_a thanks_n to_o he_o that_o be_v the_o author_n of_o it_o for_o such_o be_v our_o malignity_n that_o if_o we_o be_v prevent_v with_o god_n benefit_n as_o oftentime_o we_o be_v or_o else_o obtain_v they_o immediate_o upon_o our_o request_n we_o forget_v that_o we_o receive_v they_o of_o god_n and_o so_o become_v unthankful_a for_o they_o also_o we_o do_v not_o great_o esteem_v those_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v not_o long_o want_v nor_o much_o desire_a whereby_o as_o for_o small_a benefit_n and_o not_o great_a gift_n we_o render_v slender_a thanks_n to_o god_n therefore_o god_n in_o great_a wisdom_n prolong_v sometime_o the_o performance_n of_o his_o promise_a benefit_n that_o man_n may_v acknowledge_v of_o who_o they_o obtain_v they_o worthy_o esteem_v they_o thankful_o receive_v they_o and_o profitable_o employ_v they_o but_o now_o let_v we_o see_v what_o answer_n our_o saviour_n christ_n make_v to_o the_o request_n of_o his_o disciple_n i_o be_o not_o send_v say_v he_o but_o unto_o the_o lose_a sheep_n of_o the_o house_n of_o israel_n a_o uncomfortable_a answer_n doubtless_o to_o the_o poor_a woman_n whereby_o he_o pronounce_v that_o he_o have_v no_o commission_n of_o god_n to_o do_v any_o thing_n for_o she_o in_o as_o much_o as_o his_o vocation_n extend_v only_o to_o the_o israelite_n and_o she_o be_v one_o of_o the_o gentile_n and_o a_o cananite_n it_o be_v a_o great_a temptation_n unto_o she_o before_o that_o he_o in_o who_o all_o health_n be_v promise_v and_o which_o willing_o offer_v himself_o to_o all_o other_o and_o by_o his_o comfortable_a voice_n do_v call_v all_o that_o be_v oppress_v unto_o he_o keep_v silence_n to_o she_o alone_o and_o be_v so_o earnest_o entreat_v to_o extend_v his_o favour_n towards_o she_o yet_o answer_v she_o not_o one_o word_n but_o it_o be_v ten_o time_n great_a that_o now_o when_o he_o be_v urge_v by_o his_o disciple_n to_o speak_v he_o seem_v to_o put_v she_o out_o of_o all_o hope_n and_o comfort_n because_o he_o be_v not_o send_v but_o unto_o the_o lose_a sheep_n of_o the_o house_n of_o israel_n of_o which_o number_n she_o be_v none_o and_o therefore_o may_v not_o look_v for_o any_o favour_n at_o his_o hand_n and_o this_o answer_n which_o he_o make_v be_v not_o a_o pretend_a answer_n to_o serve_v for_o the_o time_n but_o it_o be_v most_o true_a indeed_o for_o although_o he_o be_v not_o send_v only_o to_o the_o jew_n yet_o be_v he_o send_v first_o unto_o the_o jew_n and_o that_o wall_n of_o separation_n which_o divide_v the_o jew_n from_o the_o gentile_n 2._o be_v not_o break_v down_o before_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ._n and_o therefore_o in_o the_o ten_o of_o this_o gospel_n he_o forbid_v his_o disciple_n to_o go_v into_o the_o way_n of_o the_o gentile_n nor_o the_o city_n of_o the_o samaritan_n but_o go_v rather_o say_v he_o unto_o the_o lose_a sheep_n of_o the_o house_n of_o israel_n even_o so_o he_o say_v now_o true_o i_o be_o not_o send_v but_o unto_o the_o lose_a sheep_n of_o the_o house_n of_o israel_n 10._o first_o therefore_o let_v we_o consider_v the_o sense_n of_o these_o word_n and_o afterward_o the_o weight_n of_o the_o temptation_n therefore_o that_o he_o say_v he_o be_v not_o send_v he_o mean_v not_o that_o he_o be_v not_o send_v at_o all_o but_o that_o as_o yet_o it_o pertain_v not_o to_o his_o vocation_n to_o call_v the_o gentile_n but_o the_o jew_n only_o for_o that_o he_o be_v also_o send_v unto_o the_o gentile_n appear_v plain_o by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n where_o the_o lord_n speak_v unto_o our_o saviour_n christ_n in_o the_o person_n of_o a_o mediator_n it_o be_v a_o small_a thing_n that_o thou_o shall_v be_v my_o servant_n 45._o to_o raise_v up_o the_o tribe_n of_o jacob_n and_o the_o desolation_n of_o israel_n i_o will_v also_o give_v thou_o for_o a_o light_n unto_o the_o gentile_n that_o thou_o may_v be_v my_o salvation_n unto_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n whereunto_o the_o prophet_n simeon_n agree_v in_o his_o canticle_n say_v 2._o my_o eye_n have_v see_v thy_o salvation_n which_o thou_o have_v prepare_v before_o the_o face_n of_o all_o people_n to_o be_v a_o light_n to_o lighten_v the_o gentile_n and_o to_o be_v the_o glory_n of_o thy_o people_n israel_n these_o word_n of_o his_o therefore_o must_v be_v understand_v of_o that_o present_a time_n in_o which_o he_o speak_v they_o for_o as_o then_o he_o be_v not_o send_v unto_o the_o gentile_n but_o unto_o the_o lose_a sheep_n only_o of_o the_o house_n of_o israel_n by_o the_o lose_a sheep_n of_o the_o house_n of_o israel_n he_o mean_v not_o the_o elect_a only_o but_o all_o the_o whole_a nation_n of_o the_o jew_n with_o who_o god_n make_v the_o covenant_n and_o unto_o who_o the_o redemption_n be_v promise_v for_o unto_o they_o all_o it_o be_v first_o offer_v which_o because_o it_o be_v of_o they_o refuse_v it_o be_v afterward_o make_v common_a unto_o the_o gentile_n for_o our_o saviour_n christ_n acknowledge_v a_o little_a before_o his_o passion_n that_o he_o
