they_o and_o by_o who_o mean_n it_o seem_v to_o be_v so_o long_o continue_v the_o man_n that_o say_v in_o the_o first_o verse_n of_o this_o chapter_n be_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o king_n himself_o as_o the_o lord_n god_n of_o israel_n live_v before_o who_o i_o stand_v there_o shall_v not_o be_v dew_n nor_o rain_v these_o year_n but_o according_a to_o my_o word_n he_o that_o have_v say_v thus_o will_v you_o think_v that_o his_o mouth_n shall_v be_v hear_v and_o feed_v too_o and_o with_o that_o food_n that_o be_v therefore_o want_v to_o herself_o will_v you_o think_v that_o her_o

upon_o they_o it_o be_v a_o wonder_n she_o fall_v not_o about_o his_o ear_n or_o at_o least_o that_o she_o do_v not_o raise_v up_o the_o people_n against_o he_o to_o apprehend_v he_o and_o take_v away_o his_o life_n that_o bring_v they_o all_o in_o danger_n of_o they_o but_o in_o that_o she_o conceal_v he_o in_o that_o she_o obey_v he_o in_o that_o she_o save_v his_o life_n and_o save_v it_o with_o the_o hazard_n of_o she_o own_o and_o her_o child_n can_v there_o be_v any_o other_o circumstance_n add_v to_o this_o wonder_n 3._o yes_o there_o can_v be_v so_o for_o as_o i_o tell_v you_o all_o this_o refer_v unto_o he_o but_o now_o something_o there_o be_v that_o amplify_v the_o action_n itself_o from_o the_o order_n and_o the_o manner_n of_o it_o 1._o abiit_fw-la &_o fecit_fw-la that_o be_v she_o do_v it_o with_o alacrity_n and_o chearfulnesse_n wherein_o the_o life_n of_o every_o good_a action_n consist_v without_o any_o more_o ado_n without_o any_o further_a dispute_n as_o soon_o as_o she_o know_v his_o mind_n she_o go_v about_o it_o fecit_fw-la juxta_fw-la verbum_fw-la eliae_fw-la that_o be_v she_o do_v it_o in_o that_o order_n that_o he_o will_v have_v it_o to_o

follow_v that_o order_n that_o the_o man_n of_o god_n prescribe_v she_o by_o special_a dispensation_n first_o and_o present_o to_o begin_v with_o he_o and_o thus_o you_o see_v in_o all_o there_o be_v three_o several_a way_n by_o which_o we_o may_v perceive_v the_o true_a extent_n of_o her_o charity_n now_o to_o look_v upon_o they_o more_o distinct_o 1._o i_o will_v begin_v first_o with_o those_o that_o reflect_v upon_o herself_o and_o in_o that_o rank_n first_o to_o consider_v she_o as_o a_o woman_n she_o go_v and_o do_v according_a to_o the_o word_n of_o elijah_n we_o be_v here_o provoke_v

rank_n so_o here_o in_o the_o work_n of_o charity_n we_o have_v a_o copy_n set_v by_o a_o silly_a woman_n i_o will_v not_o say_v that_o the_o great_a lady_n and_o dame_n may_v learn_v to_o take_v out_o but_o i_o will_v say_v more_o that_o never_o any_o of_o the_o noble_a sex_n have_v come_v so_o near_o as_o to_o express_v it_o in_o all_o thing_n to_o the_o life_n and_o i_o will_v they_o have_v only_o outstrip_v we_o in_o charity_n to_o which_o be_v more_o tender_a heart_a perhaps_o we_o may_v persuade_v they_o that_o they_o be_v more_o inclinable_a by_o nature_n but_o i_o fear_v they_o have_v sometime_o have_v the_o happiness_n to_o be_v able_a to_o instance_n a_o pre-eminence_n in_o something_o else_o i_o will_v not_o conceal_v what_o saint_n chrysostome_n say_v of_o his_o time_n

great_a prophet_n elijah_n but_o only_o that_o of_o obadiah_n that_o hide_v so_o many_o prophet_n in_o a_o cave_n and_o this_o of_o the_o woman_n to_o who_o elijah_n come_v and_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o chrysostome_n be_v of_o opinion_n that_o in_o some_o respect_n she_o exceed_v the_o great_a elijah_n and_o obadiah_n too_o for_o he_o seem_v to_o conceive_v elijah_n carry_v a_o little_a too_o far_o in_o his_o zeal_n and_o perhaps_o bring_v hither_o to_o be_v school_v of_o this_o woman_n not_o so_o much_o by_o observe_v her_o want_n and_o milery_n as_o by_o see_v her_o wonderful_a and_o
