but_o also_o and_o especial_o for_o their_o soul_n this_o be_v the_o first_o particular_a but_o the_o second_o be_v that_o which_o i_o will_v stand_v upon_o consider_v that_o this_o distemper_n upon_o

himself_o the_o great_a mean_n the_o stand_a ordinance_n by_o which_o the_o lord_n bring_v soul_n to_o himself_o be_v the_o word_n and_o the_o word_n preach_v but_o yet_o i_o say_v beside_o that_o the_o lord_n be_v please_v sometime_o to_o make_v use_n of_o other_o mean_n and_o among_o the_o rest_n sometime_o the_o lord_n do_v sanctify_v external_a affliction_n to_o bring_v home_o poor_a soul_n to_o himself_o there_o be_v two_o thing_n in_o all_o external_a affliction_n that_o i_o will_v have_v all_o to_o mind_n first_o god_n send_v second_o god_n sanctify_v of_o these_o affliction_n first_o you_o shall_v observe_v that_o god_n send_v they_o affliction_n do_v not_o arise_v out_o of_o the_o dust_n if_o any_o evil_a be_v in_o the_o city_n or_o family_n it_o be_v the_o finger_n of_o the_o lord_n it_o do_v not_o come_v by_o chance_n or_o fortune_n it_o come_v from_o god_n and_o we_o ought_v to_o behold_v he_o in_o it_o but_o than_o second_o observe_v the_o lord_n sanctify_v affliction_n the_o lord_n do_v not_o always_o sanctify_v affliction_n where_o he_o send_v it_o but_o sometime_o god_n do_v sanctify_v it_o unto_o many_o good_a and_o gracious_a end_n and_o purpose_n and_o in_o particular_a i_o say_v god_n do_v sometime_o to_o some_o soul_n sanctify_v affliction_n to_o this_o end_n to_o bring_v home_o the_o poor_a soul_n to_o himself_o there_o be_v three_o come_n unto_o jesus_n christ_n in_o all_o which_o the_o lord_n do_v sometime_o to_o some_o person_n make_v use_n of_o corporal_a affliction_n first_o there_o be_v that_o which_o we_o call_v our_o first_o fundamental_a come_v to_o jesus_n christ_n when_o the_o soul_n do_v first_o come_v to_o jesus_n christ_n from_o his_o wander_a rebellious_a estate_n and_o condition_n when_o it_o be_v first_o bring_v out_o of_o the_o wilderness_n second_o there_o be_v our_o gradual_a come_v to_o christ_n when_o the_o soul_n that_o be_v come_v to_o christ_n in_o a_o good_a measure_n come_v a_o little_a near_o he_o come_v from_o strength_n to_o strength_n and_o so_o by_o degree_n appear_v before_o god_n in_o zion_n jacob_n ladder_n have_v many_o staff_n and_o come_v to_o christ_n have_v many_o step_n and_o

which_o be_v as_o it_o be_v our_o come_n near_a and_o near_o three_o there_o be_v our_o come_v to_o christ_n which_o be_v our_o return_n after_o some_o eminent_a revolt_n when_o a_o soul_n have_v leave_v its_o first_o love_n now_o in_o all_o these_o and_o unto_o all_o these_o the_o lord_n do_v sometime_o sanctify_v external_a affliction_n the_o lord_n do_v sometime_o sanctify_v external_a affliction_n to_o bring_v the_o soul_n home_o to_o himself_o as_o poverty_n the_o lord_n make_v many_o a_o one_o poor_a that_o they_o may_v look_v after_o a_o rich_a christ_n and_o disgrace_v from_o creature_n the_o lord_n permit_v and_o sanctify_v that_o to_o make_v the_o soul_n long_o and_o labour_v that_o they_o may_v be_v precious_a in_o his_o sight_n and_o sickness_n upon_o we_o and_o we_o the_o lord_n do_v sometime_o kill_v the_o child_n body_n to_o save_v the_o mother_n soul_n take_v away_o the_o husband_n the_o he_o may_v bring_v the_o wife_n home_o to_o himself_o we_o may_v give_v many_o notable_a instance_n as_o in_o matth._n 8.2_o there_o you_o find_v a_o leper_n come_v to_o christ_n and_o what_o occasion_n bring_v he_o true_o this_o man_n leprosy_n bring_v he_o to_o christ_n and_o for_o aught_o we_o know_v have_v not_o this_o man_n be_v a_o leper_n he_o have_v never_o come_v to_o christ_n in_o matth._n 9.27_o there_o we_o hear_v blind_a man_n call_v after_o jesus_n christ_n but_o why_o you_o shall_v see_v in_o that_o place_n their_o blindness_n upon_o their_o eye_n make_v they_o look_v after_o christ_n and_o matth._n 21.14_o the_o blind_a and_o lame_a come_v

reason_n why_o the_o lord_n do_v this_o the_o first_o relate_v to_o we_o the_o second_o unto_o himself_o first_o of_o all_o i_o say_v the_o lord_n do_v sometime_o take_v this_o course_n upon_o our_o

affliction_n i_o think_v i_o hear_v the_o lord_n sometime_o speak_v of_o a_o poor_a creature_n after_o this_o manner_n there_o be_v such_o a_o one_o who_o so_o long_o as_o he_o can_v be_v well_o and_o

of_o spirit_n they_o avoid_v by_o close_v with_o christ_n betimes_o my_o think_v i_o see_v some_o soul_n under_o such_o a_o condition_n you_o have_v stay_v out_o all_o day_n and_o come_v home_o at_o

tell_v but_o you_o may_v for_o their_o soul_n then_o i_o beseech_v you_o all_o in_o the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n phil._n 4.6_o compare_v with_o verse_n 19_o be_v careful_a for_o nothing_o but_o in_o every_o thing_n by_o prayer_n and_o supplication_n with_o thanksgiving_n let_v your_o request_n be_v make_v know_v unto_o god_n my_o god_n shall_v supply_v all_o your_o need_n according_a to_o his_o riches_n in_o glory_n by_o christ_n jesus_n whatever_o your_o condition_n be_v be_v not_o over_o careful_a go_v to_o the_o lord_n jesus_n and_o he_o will_v supply_v all_o thy_o want_n he_o will_v give_v a_o pardon_n to_o thy_o soul_n and_o a_o plaster_n to_o thy_o body_n and_o to_o thy_o child_n body_n too_o you_o may_v go_v to_o jesus_n christ_n for_o what_o you_o will_v in_o a_o way_n of_o believe_a and_o to_o be_v sure_a you_o shall_v always_o prevail_v in_o spiritual_n and_o sometime_o in_o corporal_n but_o there_o be_v two_o question_n that_o we_o must_v answer_v first_o but_o in_o what_o case_n may_v it_o be_v lawful_a to_o put_v prayer_n and_o faith_n a_o work_n in_o go_v to_o christ_n for_o corporal_a kindness_n second_o when_o may_v we_o hope_v that_o we_o may_v prevail_v with_o christ_n for_o corporal_a kindness_n first_o in_o what_o case_n may_v we_o go_v to_o the_o lord_n jesus_n and_o set_v prayer_n and_o faith_n on_o work_n for_o corporal_a kindness_n it_o be_v a_o case_n of_o conscience_n which_o be_v not_o oftentimes_o touch_v upon_o three_o thing_n i_o shall_v tell_v you_o to_o regulate_v you_o and_o then_o in_o any_o case_n you_o may_v go_v to_o christ_n and_o act_v faith_n for_o corporal_a mercy_n first_o when_o the_o thing_n be_v lawful_a that_o you_o ask_v there_o be_v many_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o we_o to_o ask_v like_o nero_n mother_n ask_v and_o say_v i_o will_v have_v my_o son_n king_n though_o i_o die_v for_o it_o you_o may_v not_o beg_v of_o the_o lord_n that_o your_o child_n may_v be_v thus_o great_a or_o thus_o honourable_a but_o you_o may_v beg_v of_o the_o lord_n life_n and_o health_n creature_n accommodation_n so_o far_o as_o necessary_a these_o thing_n you_o may_v beg_v and_o go_v to_o christ_n for_o second_o you_o must_v look_v that_o your_o spirit_n be_v not_o inordinate_o set_v upon_o the_o thing_n when_o ever_o thou_o find_v thy_o heart_n inordinate_o set_v upon_o any_o thing_n then_o do_v not_o pray_v for_o it_o and_o then_o three_o when_o you_o can_v appeal_v to_o jesus_n christ_n that_o the_o end_n for_o which_o you_o beg_v a_o corporal_a kindness_n it_o be_v for_o his_o glory_n than_o you_o may_v beg_v it_o as_o david_n there_o in_o psa_n 119.17_o deal_v bountiful_o with_o thy_o servant_n that_o i_o may_v live_v and_o keep_v thy_o word_n you_o may_v go_v and_o say_v lord_n jesus_n let_v my_o child_n live_v for_o what_o end_n that_o he_o may_v be_v a_o great_a man_n a_o rich_a man_n etc._n etc._n no_o the_o lord_n will_v abhor_v it_o but_o that_o my_o child_n may_v live_v to_o serve_v the_o lord_n if_o that_o be_v your_o end_n you_o may_v pray_v for_o it_o and_o then_o quest_n 2._o but_o you_o will_v say_v when_o shall_v i_o know_v or_o may_v i_o guess_v that_o i_o shall_v prevail_v with_o christ_n what_o be_v the_o sign_n of_o the_o time_n and_o season_n when_o i_o may_v hope_v i_o shall_v prevail_v with_o christ_n for_o mercy_n &_o c_o answ_n i_o answer_v when_o the_o frame_n of_o your_o spirit_n be_v as_o the_o frame_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o woman_n of_o canaan_n i_o pray_v mark_v it_o a_o little_a what_o the_o frame_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o this_o woman_n be_v take_v it_o in_o some_o particular_n i_o will_v name_v only_o two_o viz._n first_o she_o have_v this_o frame_n of_o spirit_n that_o though_o she_o mention_v her_o child_n case_n yet_o she_o seem_v to_o mind_v she_o own_o soul_n most_o and_o second_o she_o have_v this_o as_o the_o frame_n of_o her_o spirit_n to_o believe_v for_o both_o now_o to_o urge_v it_o in_o a_o few_o word_n to_o you_o the_o first_o frame_n of_o her_o spirit_n be_v that_o though_o she_o do_v beg_v this_o mercy_n for_o her_o child_n yet_o the_o frame_n of_o her_o spirit_n be_v principal_o set_v upon_o her_o soul_n this_o poor_a woman_n do_v desire_v her_o daughter_n life_n but_o however_o lord_n bread_n for_o my_o poor_a soul_n oh_o sir_n when_o you_o can_v go_v to_o god_n and_o say_v lord_n i_o will_v have_v such_o a_o corpotal_a mercy_n but_o however_o lord_n soul-mercy_n when_o you_o can_v desire_v a_o sick_a child_n may_v be_v make_v well_o but_o especial_o a_o evil_a heart_n mend_v when_o your_o soul_n be_v set_v most_o upon_o your_o soul_n and_o its_o concernment_n then_o be_v you_o in_o a_o good_a frame_n second_o this_o woman_n be_v raise_v up_o to_o measure_n of_o faith_n indeed_o some_o great_a and_o considerate_a divine_n do_v think_v that_o that_o text_n of_o james_n 5._o where_o it_o be_v say_v the_o prayer_n of_o faith_n shall_v save_v the_o sick_a be_v to_o be_v understand_v in_o reference_n to_o a_o particular_a faith_n and_o my_o belove_a howsoever_o yet_o let_v i_o tell_v you_o it_o be_v not_o always_o necessary_a we_o shall_v have_v a_o particular_a persuasion_n yet_o when_o the_o lord_n do_v intend_v to_o answer_v in_o a_o corporal_a kindness_n he_o do_v secret_o either_o out_o of_o the_o word_n or_o by_o providence_n hint_n some_o word_n that_o may_v bring_v the_o soul_n to_o a_o believe_a frame_n something_o be_v present_v to_o we_o which_o raise_v up_o a_o faith_n in_o we_o so_o that_o when_o we_o be_v in_o such_o a_o frame_n of_o heart_n as_o to_o mind_v spiritual_a thing_n most_o and_o yet_o to_o believe_v that_o in_o a_o temporal_a thing_n god_n will_v gratify_v we_o then_o may_v we_o expect_v that_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v ashamed_a of_o our_o faith_n and_o that_o we_o shall_v have_v the_o particular_a corporal_a mercy_n grant_v to_o we_o but_o to_o end_v this_o be_v that_o i_o will_v press_v upon_o the_o whole_a as_o ever_o you_o will_v have_v mercy_n for_o body_n and_o soul_n go_v to_o jesus_n christ_n but_o now_o there_o be_v some_o general_a word_n that_o i_o will_v draw_v from_o the_o whole_a story_n we_o have_v now_o dispatch_v this_o whole_a discourse_n of_o the_o woman_n of_o canaan_n what_o be_v there_o that_o be_v upon_o my_o spirit_n to_o beg_v of_o the_o lord_n for_o you_o and_o for_o my_o own_o soul_n but_o this_o that_o this_o story_n may_v be_v always_o a_o good_a story_n to_o we_o first_o of_o all_o therefore_o i_o say_v look_v about_o you_o that_o the_o story_n of_o the_o woman_n of_o canaan_n may_v not_o be_v a_o sad_a story_n to_o any_o be_v there_o any_o such_o as_o may_v have_v cause_n to_o fear_v that_o you_o will_v say_v yes_o man_n or_o woman_n whoever_o thou_o be_v who_o do_v not_o faithful_o go_v to_o jesus_n christ_n the_o story_n of_o the_o woman_n of_o canaan_n shall_v condemn_v you_o you_o have_v no_o excuse_n to_o keep_v you_o off_o from_o go_v to_o jesus_n christ_n but_o this_o woman_n will_v condemn_v you_o
