from_o they_o and_o they_o have_v enough_o to_o satisfy_v they_o no_o man_n in_o the_o world_n can_v devise_v a_o more_o proper_a answer_n to_o avoid_v the_o objection_n of_o christ_n for_o although_o

unto_o the_o gentile_n and_o although_o the_o bread_n be_v prepare_v according_a to_o god_n dispensation_n only_o for_o the_o child_n yet_o it_o can_v not_o so_o spare_o be_v part_v among_o they_o but_o some_o crumb_n may_v fall_v from_o their_o table_n unto_o the_o dog_n that_o lay_v under_o and_o wait_v for_o they_o for_o naaman_n the_o syrian_a the_o woman_n of_o samaria_n the_o centurion_n &_o some_o such_o other_o be_v refresh_v with_o some_o crumb_n that_o fall_v from_o the_o table_n of_o the_o child_n of_o god_n the_o israelite_n even_o at_o such_o time_n when_o god_n be_v know_v

under_o the_o table_n here_o also_o we_o may_v note_v the_o true_a humility_n that_o follow_v this_o certain_a persuasion_n of_o god_n mercy_n this_o woman_n confess_v herself_o to_o be_v no_o better_o than_o a_o dog_n and_o yet_o she_o trust_v in_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n by_o this_o place_n also_o we_o may_v perceive_v what_o horrible_a punishment_n the_o jew_n deserve_v at_o god_n

even_o with_o the_o crumb_n that_o fall_v from_o their_o table_n and_o we_o ourselves_o also_o have_v two_o matter_n here_o to_o consider_v first_o the_o unspeakable_a goodness_n of_o god_n which_o of_o cur-dog_n have_v make_v we_o his_o own_o child_n by_o adoption_n &_o of_o such_o as_o have_v no_o place_n in_o the_o house_n of_o god_n but_o of_o great_a favour_n to_o lie_v under_o the_o table_n of_o his_o child_n have_v convert_v we_o from_o dog_n into_o his_o child_n have_v advance_v we_o to_o sit_v at_o his_o own_o high_a table_n with_o his_o child_n even_o with_o abraham_n isaak_n

here_o to_o consider_v be_v that_o we_o be_v turn_v from_o dog_n into_o god_n child_n do_v not_o retain_v still_o the_o nature_n of_o dog_n 2_o that_o be_v to_o return_v again_o to_o their_o filthy_a

unreverent_o unthankeful_o unho_o but_o as_o it_o become_v the_o child_n of_o god_n the_o table_n of_o god_n the_o presence_n of_o god_n with_o all_o reverence_n obedience_n and_o thankfulness_n to_o express_v the_o nature_n of_o god_n child_n 22_o unto_o which_o honour_n we_o be_v all_o call_v yea_o know_v the_o punishment_n of_o he_o which_o presume_v to_o sit_v down_o at_o the_o marriage_n feast_n without_o his_o wedding_n garment_n he_o be_v pull_v out_o by_o the_o ear_n &_o thrust_v into_o utter_a darkness_n where_o shall_v be_v weep_v and_o gnash_n of_o tooth_n and_o the_o same_o penalty_n remain_v to_o all_o hipocrit_n which_o intrude_a themselves_n into_o the_o church_n of_o god_n never_o care_v for_o repentance_n newness_n of_o life_n holiness_n &_o righteousness_n whereunto_o we_o be_v call_v of_o god_n and_o not_o to_o uncleanness_n and_o filthiness_n remember_v 4_o that_o which_o be_v read_v in_o the_o first_o lesson_n this_o day_n at_o morning_n prayer_n

because_o they_o do_v obstinate_o refuse_v the_o grace_n when_o it_o be_v offer_v and_o will_v not_o believe_v the_o promise_n when_o it_o be_v exhibit_v they_o be_v break_v off_o from_o the_o stock_n of_o israel_n and_o we_o that_o be_v stranger_n and_o branch_n of_o the_o wild_a olive_n by_o kind_n be_v graft_v into_o the_o tree_n by_o faith_n but_o so_o that_o if_o we_o fall_v from_o faith_n 11._o as_o saint_n paul_n say_v god_n shall_v no_o more_o spare_v we_o than_o he_o do_v spare_v they_o yea_o we_o shall_v be_v break_v off_o and_o they_o graff_v in_o again_o for_o god_n be_v able_a to_o graft_v they_o in_o again_o let_v we_o therefore_o continue_v in_o faith_n and_o show_v forth_o the_o fruit_n of_o faith_n for_o by_o the_o fruit_n the_o tree_n shall_v be_v know_v hitherto_o we_o have_v hear_v how_o the_o faith_n of_o this_o woman_n have_v be_v try_v to_o the_o uttermost_a which_o have_v three_o repulse_n even_o of_o christ_n himself_o yet_o cease_v not_o to_o put_v she_o trust_v in_o he_o now_o let_v we_o see_v what_o success_n she_o have_v in_o the_o end_n although_o she_o have_v never_o so_o many_o repulse_n and_o discouragement_n yet_o because_o she_o continue_v still_o constant_a &_o unmoveable_a in_o faith_n she_o depart_v not_o away_o confound_v she_o obtain_v her_o request_n she_o enjoy_v the_o promise_n that_o whosoever_o put_v their_o trust_n in_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v confound_v let_v we_o therefore_o with_o invincible_a courage_n of_o faith_n hold_v fast_o upon_o god_n promise_n and_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o we_o shall_v miss_v of_o eternal_a salvation_n but_o some_o will_v peradventure_o object_v she_o sue_v here_o but_o for_o a_o temporal_a benefit_n namely_o the_o recovery_n of_o her_o daughter_n what_o pertain_v this_o to_o eternal_a salvation_n i_o answer_v this_o temporal_a benefit_n be_v to_o her_o a_o confirmation_n and_o assurance_n of_o everlasting_a salvation_n which_o she_o have_v conceive_v by_o faith_n which_o thing_n the_o answer_n of_o christ_n plain_o declare_v who_o do_v not_o only_o grant_v unto_o this_o her_o faith_n the_o deliverance_n of_o her_o daughter_n from_o the_o devil_n but_o general_o whatsoever_o she_o will_v o_o woman_n say_v he_o great_a be_v thy_o faith_n be_v it_o unto_o thou_o even_o as_o thou_o will_v first_o he_o commend_v the_o greatness_n of_o her_o faith_n by_o which_o he_o be_v overcome_v that_o he_o can_v no_o long_o withhold_v his_o grace_n from_o she_o second_o he_o say_v be_v it_o unto_o thou_o whatsoever_o thou_o will_v who_o doubt_v but_o that_o she_o will_v as_o well_o have_v remission_n of_o her_o sin_n and_o assurance_n of_o eternal_a life_n as_o the_o health_n of_o her_o daughter_n and_o rather_o too_o therefore_o he_o say_v be_v it_o unto_o thou_o even_o as_o thou_o will_v as_o though_o he_o will_v say_v with_o this_o faith_n thou_o may_v obtain_v whatsoever_o thou_o will_v let_v we_o therefore_o bring_v such_o a_o faith_n to_o god_n and_o we_o shall_v obtain_v whatsoever_o we_o will_n 9_o if_o it_o be_v true_a will_v some_o man_n say_v that_o i_o may_v have_v whatsoever_o i_o will_v i_o will_v wish_v to_o have_v this_o church_n full_a of_o gold_n or_o some_o such_o like_a matter_n but_o you_o must_v remember_v that_o christ_n here_o speak_v of_o faith_n which_o be_v ground_v only_o upon_o god_n promise_n &_o therefore_o whatsoever_o you_o will_v ask_v by_o faith_n that_o god_n have_v promise_v you_o shall_v obtain_v moreover_o they_o that_o be_v endue_v with_o true_a faith_n will_v wish_v nothing_o that_o be_v contrary_a to_o god_n glory_n &_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o such_o vain_a wish_v nor_o would_v with_o they_o and_o therefore_o whatsoever_o god_n have_v promise_v unto_o they_o they_o make_v their_o full_a account_n to_o obtain_v it_o that_o which_o he_o have_v not_o

god_n promise_n 1._o and_o have_v receive_v such_o abundance_n of_o the_o immortal_a seed_n to_o bring_v forth_o so_o small_a fruit_n that_o we_o be_v discourage_v to_o continue_v our_o prayer_n if_o we_o find_v not_o present_a help_n as_o soon_o as_o we_o begin_v to_o pray_v and_o that_o we_o doubt_v in_o our_o heart_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n promise_n because_o we_o feel_v not_o the_o execution_n and_o fulfil_n of_o they_o even_o at_o such_o time_n as_o we_o will_v appoint_v ourselves_o not_o remember_v that_o he_o which_o have_v promise_v to_o hear_v we_o when_o we_o pray_v have_v command_v we_o to_o be_v importunate_a in_o prayer_n and_o have_v set_v before_o we_o the_o example_n of_o the_o poor_a widow_n to_o be_v follow_v which_o have_v a_o matter_n to_o be_v hear_v before_o a_o wicked_a judge_n 18._o that_o fear_v neither_o god_n nor_o man_n yet_o at_o the_o length_n obtain_v justice_n at_o his_o hand_n through_o her_o importunity_n and_o shall_v not_o god_n much_o rather_o deliver_v his_o elect_n that_o cry_n unto_o he_o day_n and_o night_n who_o he_o have_v promise_v to_o hear_v and_o help_v if_o therefore_o we_o be_v not_o hear_v at_o the_o first_o we_o must_v not_o therefore_o give_v over_o pray_v but_o rather_o increase_v in_o study_n and_o zeal_n of_o prayer_n know_v that_o it_o be_v god_n pleasure_n in_o such_o a_o case_n to_o be_v overcome_v by_o importunate_a suit_n for_o if_o the_o thing_n we_o pray_v for_o be_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o those_o thing_n which_o he_o have_v promise_v to_o grant_v he_o can_v no_o more_o deny_v our_o request_n than_o he_o can_v deny_v himself_o if_o we_o continue_v in_o prayer_n but_o flesh_n and_o blood_n will_v here_o object_v to_o weaken_v our_o faith_n what_o comfort_n have_v i_o to_o pray_v when_o i_o shall_v be_v hear_v i_o can_v tell_v when_o for_o i_o have_v pray_v long_o and_o find_v no_o release_n of_o my_o trouble_n but_o rather_o increase_v and_o while_o he_o deferrth_o his_o help_n i_o know_v not_o for_o what_o cause_n so_o long_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n i_o shall_v perish_v i_o be_v better_a therefore_o to_o see_v if_o i_o can_v find_v any_o comfort_n else_o where_o for_o none_o i_o find_v in_o he_o for_o answer_v we_o must_v consider_v thus_o much_o that_o if_o we_o look_v to_o obtain_v any_o help_n at_o god_n hand_n by_o our_o prayer_n we_o must_v give_v god_n this_o honour_n that_o he_o know_v better_a than_o we_o ourselves_o both_o what_o be_v meet_v for_o we_o and_o also_o at_o what_o time_n it_o be_v best_o to_o bestow_v it_o upon_o us._n for_o he_o which_o know_v all_o thing_n know_v when_o it_o be_v most_o convenient_a both_o for_o his_o glory_n and_o for_o our_o profit_n to_o grant_v we_o that_o which_o we_o pray_v for_o and_o there_o be_v no_o love_a child_n of_o god_n if_o these_o two_o may_v be_v separate_v but_o will_v prefer_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n before_o his_o own_o profit_n and_o there_o be_v no_o wise_a man_n that_o will_v take_v upon_o he_o to_o know_v better_o when_o his_o profit_n be_v to_o be_v procure_v than_o god_n who_o be_v the_o only_a wisdom_n himself_o but_o see_v these_o two_o thing_n be_v always_o link_v together_o namely_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o our_o salvation_n we_o need_v no_o more_o to_o doubt_n that_o god_n will_v be_v less_o careful_a for_o our_o salvation_n than_o he_o be_v zealous_a for_o his_o own_o glory_n therefore_o it_o be_v a_o vain_a objection_n and_o suppose_v a_o mere_a impossibillity_n that_o we_o shall_v perish_v before_o he_o send_v his_o deliverance_n for_o god_n can_v no_o more_o forget_v our_o deliverance_n in_o due_a time_n than_o he_o can_v deface_v his_o own_o glory_n and_o touch_v the_o mean_a time_n in_o which_o he_o suffer_v we_o to_o be_v afflict_v that_o all_o shall_v turn_v to_o our_o everlasting_a comfort_n for_o thereby_o he_o try_v our_o faith_n patience_n obedience_n &_o other_o virtue_n and_o the_o trial_n of_o our_o faith_n as_o s._n

appear_v of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n and_o lest_o we_o shall_v doubt_v to_o faint_v in_o trouble_n we_o be_v teach_v that_o god_n be_v faithful_a 10._o and_o will_v not_o suffer_v we_o to_o be_v tempt_v above_o our_o strength_n but_o in_o all_o perplexity_n and_o most_o desperate_a case_n will_v open_v a_o way_n how_o we_o shall_v avoid_v they_o for_o as_o he_o send_v we_o affliction_n and_o temptation_n with_o the_o one_o hand_n so_o he_o will_v send_v we_o strength_n and_o comfort_n with_o the_o other_o hand_n and_o this_o be_v lively_o figure_v in_o the_o wrestle_n of_o god_n with_o jacob_n 23._o where_o the_o lord_n by_o wrestle_v and_o strive_v with_o he_o seem_v to_o fight_v with_o he_o with_o one_o hand_n and_o by_o give_v he_o strength_n not_o only_o to_o abide_v

discomfort_a if_o god_n himself_o seem_v to_o wrestle_v with_o we_o and_o to_o fight_v against_o we_o by_o send_v we_o great_a trouble_n and_o temptation_n for_o his_o purpose_n be_v in_o this_o most_o noble_a combat_n both_o to_o give_v we_o strength_n to_o overcome_v and_o also_o the_o praise_n of_o the_o victory_n as_o saint_n peter_n testify_v in_o the_o place_n even_o now_o allege_v

wonderful_a be_v the_o work_n of_o god_n that_o when_o all_o the_o glory_n of_o our_o salvation_n be_v proper_o his_o own_o yet_o he_o vouchsafe_v to_o give_v we_o such_o strength_n of_o faith_n that_o thereby_o we_o be_v receive_v into_o part_n of_o that_o praise_n which_o be_v due_a unto_o he_o but_o yet_o so_o that_o all_o the_o glory_n redound_v again_o from_o we_o unto_o he_o only_o to_o who_o proper_o it_o belong_v well_o hitherto_o we_o have_v hear_v that_o our_o saviour_n christ_n refuse_v to_o speak_v one_o word_n with_o his_o mouth_n and_o yet_o inward_o he_o speak_v by_o his_o
