long_a since_o repent_v in_o sackcloth_n and_o ash_n of_o the_o truth_n thereof_o christ_n give_v they_o a_o taste_n in_o this_o history_n and_o this_o have_v be_v a_o ancient_a practice_n of_o god_n

the_o conflict_n the_o conflict_n between_o two_o person_n which_o add_v some_o right_n unto_o the_o virtue_n for_o what_o be_v the_o virtue_n the_o one_o be_v a_o importunate_a faith_n and_o in_o

the_o nature_n of_o man_n which_o he_o undertake_v as_o saint_n paul_n speak_v that_o he_o may_v be_v tender_a heart_a towards_o man_n to_o do_v it_o when_o he_o come_v not_o to_o judge_v but_o save_v for_o such_o a_o person_n at_o such_o a_o time_n to_o use_v such_o delay_n so_o to_o reject_v a_o poor_a woman_n make_v the_o virtue_n of_o christ_n the_o more_o remarkable_a the_o more_o admirable_a but_o let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o conslict_n of_o these_o virtue_n the_o woman_n begin_v and_o set_v upon_o christ_n she_o cry_v and_o say_v have_v mercy_n on_o i_o o_o lord_n thou_o son_n of_o

worse_o than_o to_o be_v within_o the_o power_n of_o the_o devil_n such_o a_o case_n will_v melt_v a_o stony_a heart_n what_o wonder_n if_o it_o work_v so_o upon_o the_o tender_a heart_n of_o a_o mother_n but_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v earnest_a in_o our_o prayer_n according_a to_o the_o danger_n of_o our_o estate_n the_o more_o our_o danger_n the_o more_o our_o earnestness_n and_o we_o shall_v press_v the_o more_o upon_o god_n the_o more_o we_o be_v occasion_v by_o calamity_n that_o be_v lay_v upon_o we_o by_o he_o for_o therefore_o do_v he_o humble_v we_o to_o warm_v our_o cold_a devotion_n it_o be_v so_o in_o distress_n corporal_a but_o much_o more_o in_o our_o distress_n spiritual_a we_o must_v learn_v the_o one_o by_o this_o

but_o let_v we_o hear_v the_o woman_n first_o onset_n she_o make_v a_o short_a petition_n but_o it_o contain_v a_o most_o excellent_a confession_n if_o you_o look_v to_o the_o matter_n yea_o and_o a_o

both_o of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n she_o can_v not_o conceive_v less_o of_o christ_n when_o she_o desire_v he_o will_v show_v his_o power_n over_o the_o devil_n for_o how_o can_v he_o have_v power_n over_o the_o devil_n that_o be_v not_o lord_n paramount_n over_o all_o the_o world_n she_o acknowledge_v he_o then_o to_o be_v god_n and_o to_o be_v man_n also_o for_o she_o call_v he_o the_o son_n

that_o be_v christ_n be_v also_o to_o be_v jesus_n he_o be_v to_o save_v and_o so_o to_o show_v mercy_n his_o office_n be_v to_o be_v the_o mercy-seat_n of_o god_n the_o reliever_n of_o the_o
