the_o deep_a root_a oak_n be_v with_o the_o blast_n of_o every_o little_a gale_n it_o be_v strange_a and_o surpass_v the_o amazement_n of_o reason_n that_o our_o saviour_n christ_n shall_v give_v

now_o when_o a_o silly_a needy_a weak_a woman_n ask_v seek_v knock_v and_o cry_v out_o aloud_o he_o be_v as_o one_o dumb_a and_o tongue_n tie_v there_o be_v three_o sort_n of_o answer_n which_o in_o

not_o because_o he_o can_v or_o because_o he_o will_v not_o speak_v but_o there_o be_v four_o divine_a reason_n in_o his_o heavenly_a wisdom_n that_o lead_v he_o thereunto_o first_o because_o the_o vehemency_n of_o our_o long_a desire_n by_o this_o forbearance_n shall_v be_v the_o more_o incense_a for_o a_o joy_n defer_v though_o for_o a_o time_n ●●_o p●ou_fw-fr ●●_o it_o breed_v the_o faint_a of_o the_o soul_n yet_o when_o it_o come_v it_o be_v a_o tree_n of_o life_n so_o use_v our_o smith_n to_o throw_v water_n upon_o their_o burn_a forge_n that_o by_o the_o blast_n of_o the_o bellows_n the_o enclose_a fire_n may_v rage_v the_o hot_a and_o thus_o the_o lord_n seem_v not_o to_o regard_v those_o outcry_n which_o the_o people_n throw_v up_o into_o the_o heaven_n when_o they_o be_v in_o that_o extreme_a exigent_n upon_o the_o bank_n of_o the_o red_a sea_n shore_n that_o their_o miraculous_a deliverance_n may_v be_v celebrate_v with_o the_o great_a triumph_n the_o second_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o benefit_n which_o be_v with_o many_o cry_n &_o much_o sweat_v obtain_v be_v the_o high_o esteem_v for_o that_o proverb_n hold_v true_a easie_n get_v be_v soon_o forget_v this_o make_v the_o haven_n so_o welcome_a to_o the_o seafaring_a man_n who_o have_v be_v deep_o endanger_v with_o many_o a_o tempestuous_a storm_n and_o this_o make_v the_o day_n of_o david_n coronation_n and_o establishment_n in_o the_o throne_n of_o israel_n so_o triumphant_a when_o through_o so_o many_o cross_n and_o calamity_n at_o the_o last_o he_o come_v to_o it_o so_o be_v peace_n the_o sweet_a after_o war_n and_o pine_a hunger_n make_v homely_a fare_n very_o toothsome_a the_o three_o reason_n be_v because_o our_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n will_v thus_o manifest_o convince_v the_o stubborn_a froward_a heart_a jew_n who_o he_o pardon_v blaspheme_v he_o who_o he_o satisfi_v tempt_v he_o and_o unto_o who_o he_o sing_v sweet_o when_o they_o stop_v up_o their_o ear_n against_o he_o here_o they_o see_v he_o not_o answer_v she_o that_o cry_v out_o unto_o he_o for_o help_v &_o there_o she_o see_v they_o not_o answer_v he_o that_o night_n &_o day_n stretch_v out_o his_o hand_n to_o embrace_v they_o and_z lifteth_z up_o his_o voice_n like_o a_o trumpet_n sound_v unto_o they_o that_o will_v not_o hear_v he_o so_o shall_v sodom_n condemn_v jerusalem_n and_o tirus_fw-la and_o sidon_n confound_v the_o pride_n of_o capernaum_n in_o the_o reveal_n day_n of_o god_n justice_n and_o so_o i_o fear_v the_o religious_a devotion_n of_o our_o ignorant_a papist_n will_v convince_v we_o of_o stony_a coldness_n towards_o the_o truth_n of_o our_o religion_n the_o four_o and_o last_o reason_n be_v because_o our_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n thus_o teach_v we_o that_o in_o many_o case_n he_o will_v not_o hear_v not_o answer_v we_o but_o at_o the_o importunate_a suit_n of_o our_o incessant_a prayer_n for_o so_o he_o signify_v unto_o we_o by_o that_o parable_n of_o that_o unrighteous_a judge_n who_o neither_o 2._o luke_n 18._o 2._o fear_v god_n nor_o regard_v man_n for_o thus_o he_o conclude_v shall_v not_o god_n hear_v his_o elect_a which_o cry_n night_n and_o day_n unto_o he_o though_o he_o suffer_v long_o i_o tell_v you_o he_o will_v hear_v &_o revenge_v they_o and_o that_o quick_o some_o devil_n will_v not_o be_v cast_v out_o but_o with_o long_o
