i_o shall_v take_v up_o from_o the_o place_n and_o end_v this_o discourse_n and_o the_o general_a point_n be_v this_o doct._n that_o faithful_a come_n unto_o jesus_n christ_n do_v sometime_o prevail_v even_o in_o corporal_a case_n this_o woman_n of_o canaan_n come_v to_o christ_n and_o she_o come_v in_o faith_n here_o be_v a_o faithful_a comer_n to_o the_o lord_n jesus_n and_o she_o prevail_v for_o

history_n of_o the_o gospel_n give_v we_o instance_n that_o faithful_a come_n to_o christ_n do_v sometime_o prevail_v with_o he_o for_o corporal-mercy_n as_o well_o as_o for_o spiritual_a mercy_n a_o

be_v there_o say_v great_a multitude_n come_v to_o he_o have_v with_o they_o those_o that_o be_v lame_a blind_a dumb_a maim_v and_o many_o other_o and_o cast_v they_o down_o at_o jesus_n foot_n and_o

the_o palsy_n and_o jesus_n see_v their_o faith_n heal_v he_o but_o now_o here_o be_v one_o objection_n against_o this_o object_n but_o you_o will_v say_v this_o be_v true_a of_o the_o time_n wherein_o christ_n live_v christ_n when_o he_o be_v upon_o earth_n heal_v simon_n peter_n wife_n mother_n of_o a_o fever_n and_o such_o a_o one_o daughter_n and_o such_o a_o one_o son_n but_o now_o he_o be_v in_o heaven_n such_o thing_n be_v not_o to_o beee_v expect_v so_o some_o do_v think_v answ_n for_o answer_v first_o if_o we_o speak_v of_o his_o miraculous_a way_n of_o heal_a than_o it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o miraculous_a way_n of_o heal_a disease_n be_v a_o mercy_n more_o eminent_o put_v forth_o in_o those_o day_n of_o christ_n be_v in_o the_o flesh_n but_o if_o you_o speak_v of_o the_o thing_n itself_o heal_v disease_n cure_v of_o body_n i_o doubt_v not_o but_o we_o may_v expect_v the_o same_o mercy_n from_o jesus_n christ_n now_o that_o they_o do_v then_o and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o there_o be_v the_o same_o ground_n for_o christ_n to_o show_v corporal_a kindness_n now_o which_o be_v then_o where_o the_o ground_n of_o a_o thing_n be_v perpetual_a moral_a and_o eternal_o the_o same_o in_o all_o age_n the_o same_o thing_n may_v be_v do_v upon_o the_o same_o ground_n but_o etc._n etc._n i_o find_v in_o the_o gospel_n a_o double_a ground_n why_o christ_n do_v heal_v corporal_a disease_n the_o first_o ground_n be_v his_o pity_n and_o sympathy_n and_o second_o to_o fulfil_v prophecy_n and_o promise_n upon_o these_o two_o ground_n do_v christ_n heal_v either_o upon_o the_o ground_n of_o pity_n and_o compassion_n as_o a_o man_n or_o else_o upon_o the_o ground_n of_o prophecy_n or_o promise_n for_o the_o first_o ground_n you_o have_v it_o in_o matth._n 14.14_o it_o be_v say_v jesus_n go_v forth_o and_o see_v a_o great_a multitude_n and_o be_v move_v with_o compassion_n towards_o they_o and_o he_o heal_v their_o sick_a compassion_n do_v move_v christ_n and_o therefore_o he_o heal_v they_o now_o observe_v jesus_n christ_n now_o in_o heaven_n have_v the_o same_o compassion_n that_o he_o have_v here_o on_o earth_n and_o that_o be_v found_v upon_o his_o keep_n or_o retain_v of_o his_o humane_a nature_n still_o if_o christ_n have_v not_o now_o in_o heaven_n our_o humane_a nature_n he_o will_v not_o have_v have_v this_o compassion_n for_o you_o shall_v find_v that_o the_o compassion_n that_o be_v in_o christ_n it_o be_v not_o build_v upon_o his_o godhead_n but_o upon_o his_o humane_a nature_n and_o therefore_o in_o heb._n 2.16_o 17._o it_o be_v say_v christ_n take_v not_o on_o he_o the_o nature_n of_o angel_n but_o he_o take_v on_o he_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n why_o so_o that_o he_o may_v be_v a_o merciful_a and_o faithful_a high_a priest_n etc._n etc._n he_o do_v therefore_o take_v man_n nature_n that_o he_o may_v have_v compassion_n now_o this_o jesus_n retain_v for_o ever_o and_o he_o have_v the_o same_o compassion_n now_o he_o be_v in_o heaven_n that_o he_o have_v when_o he_o be_v upon_o the_o earth_n the_o second_o ground_n be_v that_o which_o i_o find_v in_o isa_n 53.4_o compare_v with_o matth._n 8.17_o i_o pray_v mind_n it_o for_o it_o be_v good_a to_o know_v what_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o faith_n in_o isa_n 53._o say_v the_o prophet_n there_o sure_o he_o have_v bear_v our_o grief_n

corporal_n and_o this_o be_v the_o ground_n why_o he_o do_v heal_v disease_n in_o the_o time_n of_o his_o flesh_n matth._n 8.17_o it_o be_v say_v he_o heal_v all_o that_o be_v sick_a that_o it_o may_v be_v fulfil_v which_o be_v speak_v by_o isaiah_n the_o prophet_n say_v himself_o take_v our_o infirmity_n and_o bear_v our_o sickness_n here_o be_v the_o ground_n why_o christ_n do_v heal_v then_o because_o it_o be_v prophesy_v he_o shall_v bear_v our_o sickness_n now_o this_o prophecy_n be_v a_o eternal_a truth_n and_o if_o in_o the_o time_n of_o his_o flesh_n he_o do_v show_v corporal_a

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

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

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

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

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

to_o bring_v your_o soul_n to_o christ_n consider_v first_o possible_o yea_o probable_o the_o lord_n do_v therefore_o send_v such_o a_o sickness_n to_o thy_o soul_n that_o he_o may_v bring_v thou_o

send_v for_o you_o and_o it_o stand_v you_o upon_o to_o go_v to_o he_o therefore_o now_o brethren_n look_v about_o you_o if_o ever_o god_n send_v a_o messenger_n of_o a_o particular_a errant_a if_o

and_o yet_o my_o brethren_n this_o be_v a_o case_n that_o sometime_o have_v befall_v many_o and_o may_v befall_v we_o we_o have_v a_o notable_a instance_n of_o it_o before_o we_o in_o this_o story_n

be_v of_o concernment_n for_o we_o to_o consider_v that_o whensoever_o it_o will_v befall_v any_o of_o we_o upon_o any_o account_n we_o may_v know_v how_o to_o carry_v ourselves_o as_o she_o have_v do_v in_o these_o two_o verse_n we_o have_v her_o carriage_n and_o after_o we_o have_v open_v that_o we_o gather_v up_o all_o into_o this_o one_o observation_n viz._n doct._n that_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n the_o wisdom_n the_o glory_n of_o a_o christian_a to_o carry_v it_o unto_o christ_n very_o holy_o when_o he_o seem_v to_o carry_v it_o to_o the_o soul_n very_o harsh_o or_o short_o thus_o we_o must_v carry_v it_o real_o well_o when_o christ_n carry_v it_o seem_o ill_n there_o be_v but_o two_o principal_a thing_n which_o i_o say_v be_v necessary_a to_o be_v handle_v in_o the_o explication_n of_o the_o point_n the_o first_o be_v what_o this_o good_a carriage_n be_v wherein_o this_o holy_a and_o bless_a behaviour_n to_o jesus_n christ_n do_v lie_v and_o second_o upon_o what_o account_n it_o be_v our_o duty_n and_o glory_n to_o have_v this_o carriage_n now_o for_o the_o open_n of_o both_o of_o these_o i_o do_v only_o confine_v myself_o to_o the_o example_n in_o hand_n to_o see_v how_o the_o woman_n carry_v it_o and_o to_o see_v from_o she_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o do_v prevail_v with_o she_o to_o carry_v it_o thus_o to_o christ_n here_o be_v six_o thing_n wherein_o this_o good_a thing_n viz._n this_o good_a carriage_n of_o this_o good_a woman_n appear_v first_o though_o the_o lord_n deal_v rough_o with_o she_o she_o keep_v up_o honourable_a thought_n of_o he_o second_o we_o show_v she_o do_v not_o sudden_o nor_o sullen_o go_v away_o but_o still_o she_o cry_v after_o he_o and_o three_o she_o speak_v to_o christ_n as_o profess_v her_o only_a hope_n in_o his_o help_n four_o she_o deny_v nothing_o that_o christ_n speak_v against_o she_o christ_n seem_v to_o say_v to_o she_o first_o that_o she_o be_v a_o dog_n and_o then_o second_o that_o she_o shall_v have_v nothing_o truth_n lord_n say_v she_o five_o she_o do_v gather_v upon_o jesus_n christ_n and_o by_o that_o very_a hand_n which_o he_o thrust_v she_o off_o she_o gather_v hope_n last_o she_o be_v content_a to_o have_v a_o little_a in_o the_o low_a manner_n when_o she_o may_v not_o have_v she_o first_o and_o great_a request_n in_o the_o high_a manner_n we_o do_v the_o last_o day_n open_v these_o more_o large_o but_o now_o whence_o be_v it_o that_o we_o must_v have_v and_o labour_n for_o this_o good_a carriage_n or_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n we_o shall_v carry_v it_o thus_o holy_o to_o christ_n though_o he_o seem_v to_o carry_v it_o rough_o to_o we_o i_o refer_v the_o reason_n of_o it_o to_o three_o head_n i_o tell_v you_o if_o we_o do_v consider_v either_o jesus_n christ_n or_o ourselves_o or_o the_o errand_n upon_o which_o we_o come_v to_o he_o at_o any_o time_n we_o shall_v see_v great_a reason_n to_o carry_v it_o well_o to_o christ_n howsoever_o he_o may_v seem_v to_o carry_v it_o ill_o to_o we_o and_o all_o these_o three_o consideration_n we_o have_v here_o in_o the_o woman_n first_o consider_v who_o jesus_n christ_n be_v when_o you_o go_v to_o he_o why_o true_o my_o brethren_n he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o david_n and_o our_o lord_n because_o he_o be_v our_o lord_n therefore_o we_o must_v worship_v he_o it_o be_v because_o master_n be_v master_n therefore_o servant_n must_v carry_v it_o well_o we_o do_v open_a that_o and_o therefore_o shall_v not_o repeat_v it_o now_o but_o second_o consider_v we_o ourselves_o who_o we_o be_v that_o go_v to_o jesus_n christ_n and_o my_o brethren_n you_o will_v see_v that_o such_o as_o we_o be_v come_v to_o christ_n shall_v carry_v it_o very_o well_o to_o he_o though_o he_o shall_v seem_v to_o carry_v it_o ill_o to_o we_o alas_o what_o be_v this_o woman_n certain_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v help_v she_o to_o look_v within_o to_o see_v herself_o as_o she_o be_v viz._n a_o poor_a woman_n a_o woman_n of_o

if_o you_o look_v upon_o your_o heart_n as_o she_o be_v so_o be_v we_o you_o will_v see_v all_o the_o reason_n in_o the_o world_n to_o carry_v it_o holy_o and_o humble_o to_o jesus_n christ_n though_o

general_a way_n bid_v she_o take_v all_o thing_n any_o thing_n which_o she_o can_v desire_v take_v what_o thou_o will_v as_o thou_o will_v but_o to_o proceed_v to_o the_o last_o question_n the_o three_o and_o last_o question_n be_v why_o do_v the_o lord_n give_v this_o in_o the_o last_o place_n her_o daughter_n be_v make_v whole_a one_o will_v have_v think_v this_o shall_v have_v be_v the_o first_o word_n woman_n go_v thy_o way_n thy_o daughter_n be_v whole_a but_o first_o he_o speak_v of_o her_o faith_n and_o then_o to_o her_o soul_n desire_v why_o do_v christ_n so_o that_o be_v the_o question_n answ_n now_o the_o answer_n hereunto_o be_v easy_a and_o it_o may_v be_v this_o our_o lord_n jesus_n be_v wise_a and_o gracious_a and_o therefore_o know_v what_o we_o need_v most_o and_o what_o be_v best_a to_o bestow_v upon_o we_o he_o do_v still_o give_v that_o first_o which_o be_v most_o necessary_a and_o which_o be_v the_o chief_a my_o belove_a i_o pray_v remember_v it_o the_o lord_n love_v to_o give_v the_o best_a mercy_n first_o her_o daughter_n be_v possess_v with_o a_o devil_n but_o that_o be_v but_o a_o corporal_a infirmity_n her_o own_o soul_n be_v more_o under_o the_o power_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o the_o deliverance_n of_o that_o most_o needful_a therefore_o he_o give_v the_o more_o necessary_a thing_n first_o o_o my_o beloved_n you_o have_v a_o wise_a christ_n a_o good_a christ_n he_o will_v satisfy_v particular_a desire_n but_o he_o will_v first_o do_v the_o best_a thing_n indeed_o christ_n reach_v we_o to_o beg_v the_o best_a thing_n first_o seek_v you_o first_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o therefore_o first_o pray_v thy_o kingdom_n come_v but_o we_o be_v ignorant_a and_o apt_a to_o mistake_v we_o often_o ask_v the_o best_a thing_n last_v now_o christ_n will_v give_v the_o best_a first_o therefore_o he_o begin_v to_o speak_v to_o the_o mother_n soul_n here_o before_o he_o mention_n her_o daughter_n distemper_n but_o let_v this_o suffice_v for_o these_o question_n to_o come_v to_o the_o word_n there_o be_v many_o point_n observable_a from_o this_o place_n particular_a note_n i_o shall_v take_v in_o by_o the_o by_o and_o therefore_o shall_v not_o touch_v upon_o they_o neither_o shall_v i_o press_v the_o word_n too_o hard_a there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o it_o this_o text_n like_o a_o brave_a hony-comb_n drop_v out_o in_o three_o thing_n like_o honey_n without_o any_o press_n first_o observe_v here_o what_o it_o be_v that_o carry_v the_o woman_n on_o and_o through_o all_o this_o while_n what_o bladder_n keep_v his_o woman_n from_o sink_v it_o be_v faith_n o_o woman_n great_a be_v thy_o faith_n second_o observe_v what_o rich_a bounty_n be_v here_o here_o be_v glorious_a grace_n rich_a grace_n have_v what_o thou_o will_v and_o then_o three_o observe_v that_o she_o have_v a_o particular_a grant_n of_o her_o special_a request_n her_o daughter_n be_v make_v whole_a it_o be_v the_o second_o thing_n i_o do_v principal_o aim_v at_o but_o shall_v speak_v of_o the_o two_o other_o and_o first_o observe_v from_o the_o first_o that_o it_o be_v true_a faith_n alone_o that_o carry_v the_o soul_n through_o all_o difficulty_n and_o discouragement_n in_o the_o way_n to_o christ_n i_o shall_v not_o be_v large_a in_o the_o handle_n of_o this_o point_n i_o have_v often_o speak_v of_o faith_n and_o the_o work_n of_o faith_n as_o it_o do_v receive_v christ_n how_o that_o be_v perform_v etc._n etc._n therefore_o i_o shall_v confine_v myself_o to_o the_o text_n and_o the_o boundary_n of_o it_o to_o show_v that_o in_o all_o the_o difficulty_n the_o soul_n meet_v withal_o in_o come_v to_o christ_n faith_n bear_v the_o soul_n up_o under_o all_o and_o pray_v mark_v what_o i_o say_v i_o say_v true_a faith_n nor_o strong_a faith_n neither_o do_v i_o say_v a_o degree_n of_o faith_n but_o a_o true_a faith_n it_o be_v true_a this_o woman_n have_v great_a faith_n and_o she_o need_v it_o for_o she_o have_v great_a difficulty_n but_o the_o point_n lie_v positive_o thus_o faith_n if_o it_o be_v true_a it_o be_v that_o and_o that_o alone_a that_o carry_v up_o the_o soul_n above_o all_o difficulty_n and_o discouragement_n in_o its_o come_n to_o christ_n i_o suppose_v i_o need_v not_o tell_v you_o that_o there_o be_v difficulty_n in_o the_o way_n of_o come_v to_o christ_n this_o woman_n know_v there_o be_v difficulty_n and_o discouragement_n but_o what_o carry_v she_o through_o do_v her_o patience_n carry_v she_o through_o she_o have_v that_o do_v her_o reverend_a esteem_n of_o christ_n carry_v she_o through_o she_o have_v that_o do_v the_o pinch_n of_o her_o want_n carry_v she_o through_o no_o christ_n do_v not_o say_v oh_o woman_n great_a be_v thy_o patience_n or_o great_a be_v thy_o esteem_n of_o i_o or_o great_a be_v thy_o want_n but_o o_o woman_n great_a be_v thy_o faith_n it_o be_v the_o woman_n faith_n that_o carry_v she_o through_o these_o difficulty_n i_o will_v demonstrate_v this_o doctrine_n by_o some_o instance_n and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v mention_v some_o of_o the_o difficulty_n which_o be_v in_o our_o way_n to_o christ_n and_o show_v how_o that_o it_o be_v faith_n and_o faith_n alone_o by_o which_o the_o lord_n do_v use_v to_o help_v we_o against_o all_o these_o difficulty_n now_o therefore_o i_o pray_v mind_n it_o and_o you_o may_v most_o observe_v in_o our-coming_a to_o christ_n there_o be_v four_o way_n from_o whence_o our_o difficulty_n and_o discouragement_n do_v arise_v and_o you_o will_v see_v that_o true_a faith_n alone_o will_v carry_v the_o soul_n through_o all_o these_o the_o difficulty_n arise_v thus_o from_o 1_o self_n 2_o satan_n 3_o the_o world_n 4_o christ_n himself_o may_v do_v that_o seem_o which_o may_v and_o do_v make_v it_o difficult_a to_o come_v unto_o he_o but_o now_o yet_o see_v as_o to_o each_o how_o faith_n carry_v the_o soul_n through_o all_o these_o to_o begin_v with_o the_o first_o which_o be_v self_n that_o come_v in_o to_o oppose_v we_o and_o pray_v good_a people_n look_v about_o you_o yourselves_o be_v the_o great_a hindrance_n to_o keep_v you_o from_o christ_n now_o what_o shall_v carry_v we_o up_o above_o ourselves_o but_o faith_n by_o faith_n moses_n deny_v himself_o and_o say_v christ_n whoever_o will_v come_v after_o i_o must_v deny_v himself_o how_o shall_v he_o do_v
it_o with_o suggestion_n of_o sense_n or_o reason_n but_o then_o a_o second_o direction_n be_v let_v faith_n have_v its_o perfect_a work_n therefore_o as_o the_o apostle_n faith_n about_o patience_n so_o let_v faith_n have_v its_o perfect_a work_n faith_n go_v at_o first_o to_o half_a a_o promise_n but_o let_v it_o alone_o it_o know_v where_o to_o fetch_v a_o whole_a promise_n let_v faith_n alone_o it_o will_v go_v to_o a_o promise_n for_o what_o for_o refuge_n for_o help_v for_o all_o faith_n will_v go_v to_o and_o look_v upon_o abraham_n as_o isa_n 51.2_o and_o find_v encouragement_n from_o he_o nay_o it_o can_v run_v back_o to_o adam_n and_o help_v itself_o with_o the_o thought_n of_o his_o experience_n let_v faith_n have_v its_o course_n and_o it_o will_v carry_v you_o to_o every_o promise_n and_o example_n to_o encourage_v you_o if_o it_o have_v its_o perfect_a work_n it_o will_v gather_v strength_n from_o all_o the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o help_v you_o in_o your_o work_n of_o close_v with_o christ_n i_o beseech_v you_o in_o these_o direction_n strengthen_v and_o labour_v to_o encourage_v faith_n o_o soul_n mind_n it_o storm_n and_o trial_n may_v come_v and_o then_o you_o will_v need_v afresh_o to_o run_v to_o christ_n look_v to_o your_o leg_n your_o faith_n it_o be_v that_o must_v carry_v you_o if_o death_n come_v death_n and_o doubt_v will_v come_v together_o now_o remember_v what_o must_v carry_v you_o through_o nothing_o but_o faith_n trust_v to_o no_o part_n duty_n etc._n etc._n only_a trust_n to_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o way_n of_o faith_n i_o shall_v conclude_v with_o two_o thing_n first_o woe_n to_o thou_o poor_a soul_n whoever_o thou_o be_v that_o want_v faith_n i_o do_v not_o say_v woe_n to_o thou_o that_o be_v a_o poor_a man_n nor_o woe_n to_o thou_o if_o thou_o be_v mean_a in_o the_o world_n nor_o say_v i_o thou_o be_v a_o sick_a or_o weak_a man_n and_o therefore_o woe_n no_o no_o but_o be_v thou_o a_o unbeliever_n a_o soul_n without_o faith_n then_o woe_n indeed_o to_o thou_o ah_o woe_n be_v to_o that_o man_n that_o want_v faith_n for_o without_o faith_n it_o be_v not_o possible_a to_o please_v god_n or_o to_o go_v to_o christ_n and_o how_o sad_a be_v the_o state_n of_o that_o soul_n that_o can_v do_v neither_o woe_n to_o all_o unbeliever_n second_o bless_v be_v you_o that_o have_v faith_n i_o say_v not_o that_o have_v so_o great_a a_o faith_n but_o faith_n true_a faith_n i_o say_v bless_a be_v you_o that_o believe_v you_o that_o do_v believe_v though_o but_o a_o little_a yet_o your_o little_a faith_n will_v do_v this_o great_a work_n it_o will_v keep_v you_o from_o drown_v it_o will_v carry_v you_o to_o christ_n that_o little_a faith_n peter_n have_v for_o all_o his_o fear_n keep_v he_o up_o from_o sink_v i_o remember_v what_o our_o lord_n say_v to_o nathaniel_n who_o believe_v as_o i_o may_v say_v a_o little_a believe_v thou_o thou_o shall_v see_v great_a thing_n than_o these_o john_n 1.50_o do_v but_o go_v on_o believe_v and_o thou_o shall_v see_v great_a thing_n than_o yet_o thou_o have_v see_v two_o thing_n your_o faith_n will_v do_v first_o it_o will_v be_v your_o leg_n to_o carry_v you_o to_o christ_n and_o that_o through_o all_o difficulty_n so_o you_o see_v it_o do_v this_o woman_n and_o second_o it_o will_v if_o i_o may_v say_v so_o compel_v as_o it_o be_v christ_n to_o entertain_v you_o after_o all_o denial_n ah_o soul_n what_o a_o glorious_a entertainment_n do_v christ_n give_v this_o poor_a woman_n at_o last_o well_o therefore_o strengthen_v faith_n and_o that_o will_v help_v you_o to_o do_v as_o this_o woman_n do_v and_o than_o you_o shall_v in_o the_o issue_n speed_n even_o as_o she_o do_v but_o of_o that_o in_o the_o next_o christ_n will_v be_v certain_o kind_a at_o last_o the_o seven_o sermon_n matthew_z 15._o vers_n 28._o then_o jesus_n answer_v and_o say_v unto_o she_o o_o woman_n great_a be_v thy_o faith_n be_v it_o unto_o thou_o even_o as_o

through_o all_o difficulty_n and_o discouragement_n in_o the_o way_n to_o christ_n only_a faith_n remember_v it_o sir_n some_o of_o you_o have_v a_o little_a knowledge_n and_o other_o of_o you_o

even_o for_o a_o ishmael_n i._n e._n for_o a_o child_n yea_o a_o carnal_a child_n and_o this_o be_v certain_a even_o bad_a child_n have_v many_o corporal_a mercy_n for_o their_o parent_n sake_n and_o

then_o can_v you_o build_v we_o up_o in_o this_o truth_n when_o we_o see_v the_o contrary_a answ_n i_o answer_v if_o thou_o go_v to_o the_o lord_n and_o pray_v for_o a_o child_n and_o do_v not_o prevail_v god_n deal_v no_o worse_o with_o thou_o than_o he_o deal_v with_o thy_o better_n david_n who_o be_v a_o man_n after_o god_n own_o heart_n go_v to_o god_n for_o a_o child_n and_o he_o pray_v

so_o with_o you_o yet_o be_v you_o as_o well_o in_o this_o respect_n as_o david_n be_v but_o more_o full_o to_o answer_v the_o objection_n i_o pray_v mark_v it_o that_o in_o that_o place_n there_o be_v two_o thing_n may_v satisfy_v david_n and_o so_o any_o in_o the_o like_a case_n first_o it_o be_v not_o good_a for_o david_n that_o the_o child_n shall_v live_v i_o make_v that_o appear_v thus_o what_o be_v the_o child_n that_o david_n do_v desire_n may_v live_v you_o know_v the_o story_n it_o be_v the_o base-begotten_a child_n which_o he_o get_v upon_o bathsheba_n certain_o it_o be_v not_o

of_o thy_o child_n if_o thy_o child_n do_v not_o live_v what_o be_v the_o reason_n he_o may_v live_v to_o be_v thy_o shame_n some_o have_v beg_v of_o god_n the_o life_n of_o a_o child_n what_o ever_o come_v of_o it_o god_n have_v give_v it_o as_o a_o curse_n and_o the_o child_n life_n have_v be_v a_o monument_n of_o their_o shame_n and_o a_o perpetual_a heart-breaking_n to_o the_o parent_n all_o their_o day_n as_o a_o good_a woman_n once_o sad_o say_v so_o that_o be_v one_o thing_n it_o may_v be_v for_o good_a to_o the_o parent_n that_o god_n shall_v not_o hear_v prayer_n for_o a_o child_n life_n and_o then_o that_o may_v satisfy_v we_o if_o he_o do_v not_o but_o then_o second_o though_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o hear_v david_n for_o the_o life_n of_o the_o child_n i_o persuade_v i_o he_o
