death_n to_o life_n to_o fulfil_v his_o promise_n &_o therefore_o doubt_v not_o to_o obey_v the_o commandment_n of_o god_n in_o sacrifice_v he_o so_o this_o woman_n doubt_v not_o but_o god_n must_v needs_o find_v a_o mean_a whereby_o his_o promise_n may_v be_v verify_v to_o she_o howsoever_o christ_n be_v not_o send_v but_o to_o the_o lose_a sheep_n of_o the_o house_n of_o israel_n and_o therefore_o as_o she_o do_v not_o reason_n nor_o dispute_v against_o the_o word_n of_o god_n so_o she_o do_v still_o simple_o continue_v her_o suit_n and_o say_v lord_n help_v i_o which_o import_v as_o much_o as_o if_o she_o have_v say_v although_o thou_o be_v not_o send_v to_o offer_v thy_o grace_n unto_o the_o gentile_n but_o unto_o the_o jew_n only_o yet_o in_o as_o much_o as_o god_n have_v promise_v that_o whosoever_o put_v his_o trust_n in_o thou_o shall_v not_o be_v confound_v and_o i_o be_o one_o of_o 28._o those_o that_o put_v my_o trust_n in_o thou_o thou_o can_v not_o send_v i_o away_o confound_v and_o therefore_o help_v i_o for_o god_n promise_n must_v needs_o be_v true_a let_v we_o learn_v here_o so_o firm_o to_o hold_v the_o general_a principle_n of_o our_o salvation_n that_o we_o admit_v nothing_o that_o may_v seem_v contrary_a unto_o they_o for_o of_o this_o we_o may_v be_v assure_v that_o how_o soever_o any_o thing_n may_v seem_v contrary_a unto_o they_o yet_o from_o god_n proceed_v nothing_o either_o in_o word_n or_o deed_n that_o be_v contrary_a unto_o they_o and_o as_o for_o all_o the_o creature_n of_o y●_n world_n beside_o if_o they_o shall_v oppose_v &_o set_v themselves_o against_o they_o they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o prevail_v therefore_o saint_n paul_n say_v with_o great_a confidence_n i_o be_o persuade_v 8._o that_o neither_o death_n nor_o life_n neither_o angel_n nor_o principality_n nor_o power_n nor_o thing_n present_a nor_o thing_n to_o come_v neither_o height_n nor_o depth_n nor_o any_o creature_n can_v separate_v we_o from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n which_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n our_o lord_n for_o if_o god_n be_v on_o our_o side_n who_o can_v be_v against_o we_o or_o if_o any_o be_v against_o we_o how_o can_v they_o be_v able_a to_o hurt_v we_o but_o if_o god_n himself_o seem_v to_o be_v against_o we_o who_o have_v we_o then_o to_o comfort_v we_o for_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n pronounce_v damnation_n to_o all_o that_o transgress_v his_o law_n but_o for_o asmuch_o as_o god_n of_o his_o infinite_a mercy_n have_v promise_v salvation_n to_o all_o penitent_a sinner_n he_o have_v find_v a_o mean_a by_o which_o both_o his_o justice_n be_v satisfy_v &_o yet_o no_o penitent_a sinner_n that_o believe_v his_o promise_n shall_v be_v damn_v this_o only_a means_n be_v christ_n our_o saviour_n who_o by_o his_o obedience_n have_v thorough_o satisfy_v for_o all_o our_o disobedience_n and_o transgression_n as_o many_o as_o believe_v to_o have_v remission_n of_o our_o sin_n by_o he_o see_v therefore_o we_o have_v not_o only_o the_o general_a promise_n of_o god_n contain_v in_o the_o old_a testament_n but_o also_o the_o full_a execution_n per_fw-la formance_n &_o establishment_n of_o they_o in_o christ_n what_o shame_n be_v it_o for_o we_o to_o be_v find_v inferior_a in_o faith_n to_o his_o cananitish_a woman_n which_o have_v no_o more_o but_o the_o first_o whereunto_o nevertheless_o she_o clean_v so_o fast_o that_o by_o no_o mean_n she_o will_v be_v draw_v from_o they_o and_o sure_o even_o the_o very_a general_a promise_n of_o god_n be_v sufficient_a that_o our_o faith_n be_v build_v upon_o they_o shall_v never_o be_v remove_v for_o by_o they_o god_n have_v so_o bind_v himself_o unto_o we_o that_o by_o no_o mean_n he_o can_v revoke_v his_o promise_a salvation_n and_o yet_o for_o more_o confirmation_n and_o to_o take_v away_o all_o scruple_n of_o doubt_n and_o waver_a as_o the_o apostle_n say_v to_o the_o hebrew_n he_o have_v establish_v they_o with_o a_o oath_n that_o by_o two_o thing_n immutable_a in_o which_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o god_n shall_v lie_v we_o may_v have_v consolation_n &_o comfort_n as_o many_o as_o flee_v for_o refuge_n to_o take_v hold_n of_o the_o hope_n that_o be_v propound_v and_o set_v forth_o unto_o us._n therefore_o the_o anchor_n of_o our_o faith_n have_v then_o most_o unchangeable_a hold_n namely_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n and_o the_o oath_n of_o god_n in_o both_o which_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o god_n shall_v lie_v for_o as_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o god_n shall_v lie_v when_o he_o simple_o affirm_v so_o be_v it_o more_o impossible_a if_o there_o may_v be_v degree_n in_o impossibility_n that_o god_n shall_v lie_v when_o he_o sware_v and_o as_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o god_n shall_v lie_v or_o be_v forswear_v so_o be_v it_o impossible_a that_o any_o man_n or_o woman_n which_o take_v hold_v of_o god_n promise_n by_o faith_n shall_v miss_v the_o performance_n of_o they_o whatsoever_o seem_v to_o be_v let_n or_o impediment_n unto_o they_o for_o there_o can_v be_v no_o let_v or_o impediment_n so_o great_a as_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o compel_v god_n to_o lie_v or_o perjury_n which_o be_v as_o great_a impossibility_n as_o can_v be_v think_v of_o for_o if_o the_o general_a or_o universal_a promise_n of_o god_n shall_v not_o be_v grant_v to_o any_o one_o person_n that_o embrace_v they_o by_o faith_n god_n shall_v be_v no_o more_o true_a of_o his_o word_n &_o his_o oath_n which_o be_v as_o impossible_a as_o that_o god_n shall_v be_v no_o more_o god_n for_o example_n sing_v god_n have_v say_v whosoever_o call_v 2._o upon_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n shall_v be_v save_v if_o i_o poor_a wretch_n embrace_v this_o promise_n of_o god_n by_o faith_n do_v call_v upon_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n whatsoever_o let_v or_o impediment_n be_v in_o the_o way_n it_o be_v impossible_a but_o that_o i_o shall_v be_v save_v therefore_o if_o all_o the_o angel_n in_o heaven_n shall_v tell_v i_o on_o their_o own_o credit_n or_o as_o it_o be_v by_o god_n commandment_n that_o i_o shall_v be_v damn_v i_o must_v hold_v they_o all_o accurse_v rather_o than_o to_o grant_v that_o god_n shall_v be_v a_o liar_n or_o perjure_a person_n and_o for_o asmuch_o as_o christ_n have_v say_v who_o soever_o believe_v and_o be_v baptize_v shall_v be_v save_v if_o i_o be_v baptize_v into_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n repose_v my_o whole_a trust_n &_o confidence_n in_o he_o whatsoever_o can_v be_v object_v against_o i_o i_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v save_v for_o neither_o the_o justice_n of_o the_o law_n nor_o the_o gyltynes_n of_o my_o sin_v nor_o the_o accusation_n of_o the_o devil_n nor_o witness_n of_o my_o own_o conscience_n shall_v be_v able_a to_o condemn_v i_o so_o long_o as_o i_o depend_v upon_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n for_o there_o be_v now_o no_o condemnation_n 8._o to_o they_o that_o be_v in_o christ_n jesu._n for_o what_o soever_o can_v be_v object_v out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n how_o soever_o contrary_a at_o the_o first_o sight_n it_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v yet_o it_o be_v not_o in_o deed_n direct_o contrary_a to_o these_o &_o such_o like_a general_a promise_n as_o these_o say_n they_o that_o be_v in_o christ_n walk_v not_o after_o the_o flesh_n but_o after_o the_o spirit_n 8._o if_o christ_n be_v in_o you_o the_o body_n be_v dead_a unto_o sin_v they_o that_o be_v christ_n have_v crucify_v the_o flesh_n 5._o with_o the_o lust_n and_o concupiscence_n thereof_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o these_o and_o such_o like_a place_n be_v not_o to_o be_v understand_v of_o perfect_a innocency_n free_a from_o all_o sin_v but_o only_o of_o such_o innocency_n as_o be_v but_o inchoacted_a and_o begin_v in_o this_o life_n and_o make_v perfect_a in_o the_o life_n to_o come_v therefore_o if_o thou_o feel_v in_o thyself_o with_o thy_o faith_n in_o god_n a_o hatred_n of_o sin_v and_o a_o desire_n of_o righteousness_n which_o refrain_v thou_o from_o much_o wickedness_n &_o stir_v thou_o up_o to_o some_o work_n of_o virtue_n although_o there_o remain_v in_o thou_o the_o relic_n of_o sin_v yea_o a_o lust_n unto_o sin_v contrary_a to_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n which_o also_o break_v out_o some_o time_n into_o actual_a sin_v yet_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n that_o dwell_v in_o thou_o thy_o body_n be_v dead_a unto_o sin_n thou_o have_v crucify_v the_o flesh_n with_o the_o lust_n and_o concupiscence_n thereof_o thou_o walk_v in_o the_o spi_n rit_v &_o not_o in_o the_o flesh_n and_o therefore_o according_a to_o god_n promise_n thou_o shall_v be_v save_v through_o thy_o faith_n for_o thy_o sin_n and_o infirmity_n shall_v not_o 4_o be_v impute_v unto_o thou_o but_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n shall_v be_v impute_v to_o thou_o

it_o follow_v now_o in_o the_o text_n that_o his_o disciple_n come_v unto_o he_o &_o beseech_v he_o say_v send_v she_o away_o for_o she_o cry_v after_o us._n here_o his_o disciple_n do_v not_o entreat_v he_o to_o show_v she_o any_o favour_n but_o only_o to_o dispatch_v she_o either_o one_o way_n or_o other_o because_o she_o make_v such_o a_o bawl_a and_o cry_v after_o they_o that_o they_o be_v ashamed_a to_o hear_v she_o and_o herein_o as_o in_o many_o other_o thing_n reveal_v in_o the_o history_n of_o the_o gospel_n they_o take_v upon_o they_o to_o be_v wise_a they_o their_o master_n for_o if_o he_o have_v think_v it_o convenient_a he_o will_v have_v dispatch_v she_o soon_o for_o he_o hear_v her_o importunate_a outcry_n as_o well_o as_o they_o but_o he_o respect_v another_o matter_n which_o they_o can_v not_o conceive_v it_o be_v best_o therefore_o for_o man_n to_o let_v god_n alone_o with_o his_o own_o affair_n &_o not_o to_o presume_v to_o geve_v he_o counsel_v what_o he_o have_v to_o do_v but_o rather_o to_o look_v what_o he_o command_v they_o to_o do_v &_o therein_o to_o occupy_v their_o head_n &_o their_o hand_n but_o such_o curiosity_n reign_v in_o many_o man_n mind_n that_o they_o have_v rather_o take_v upon_o they_o to_o teach_v god_n how_o he_o shall_v govern_v the_o world_n then_o submit_v themselves_o quiet_o to_o obey_v his_o commandment_n but_o the_o papist_n be_v here_o to_o be_v pity_v that_o for_o lack_v of_o better_a argument_n to_o prove_v the_o invocation_n of_o saint_n be_v fain_o to_o abuse_v this_o place_n of_o the_o apostels_n request_n to_o have_v this_o woman_n dispatch_v but_o alas_o w_o what_o colour_n or_o likelihood_n of_o reason_n for_o first_o this_o woman_n desire_v none_o of_o they_o all_o to_o be_v her_o spokesman_n but_o cry_v unto_o the_o master_n himself_o oh_o lord_n thou_o son_n of_o david_n have_v mercy_n upon_o i_o second_o they_o make_v no_o intercession_n for_o she_o but_o only_o desire_v that_o she_o may_v be_v send_v away_o because_o she_o trouble_v they_o but_o whether_o she_o obtain_v her_o request_n or_o no_o all_o be_v one_o to_o they_o so_o they_o may_v be_v rid_v of_o the_o exclamation_n &_o outcry_n that_o she_o make_v after_o they_o to_o cause_v all_o the_o world_n to_o wonder_v at_o they_o three_o christ_n grant_v nothing_o at_o their_o request_n but_o rather_o flat_o deny_v that_o he_o will_v have_v any_o thing_n to_o do_v with_o she_o four_o if_o she_o have_v pray_v to_o they_o and_o they_o make_v intercession_n for_o she_o &_o obtain_v their_o desire_n yet_o there_o be_v great_a difference_n between_o pray_v to_o they_o that_o be_v dead_a &_o pray_v to_o they_o that_o be_v alive_a and_o therefore_o it_o be_v marvel_v what_o they_o mean_v to_o gather_v a_o argument_n for_o the_o invocation_n of_o dead_a saint_n out_o of_o this_o place_n where_o neither_o the_o woman_n pray_v to_o the_o apostle_n nor_o the_o apostle_n pray_v for_o she_o nor_o christ_n grant_v any_o thing_n at_o their_o request_n &_o beside_o all_o this_o the_o apostle_n be_v not_o dead_a but_o alive_a they_o shall_v have_v small_a comfort_n i_o trow_v in_o this_o example_n yet_o such_o for_o all_o the_o world_n be_v the_o rest_n of_o their_o argument_n the_o virgin_n mary_n pray_v for_o the_o bridegroom_n when_o she_o say_v they_o have_v no_o wine_n if_o this_o be_v a_o 2._o request_n what_o be_v her_o answer_n woman_n what_o have_v i_o to_o do_v with_o thou_o but_o above_o the_o rest_n they_o have_v one_o notable_a example_n of_o the_o rich_a man_n that_o be_v in_o the_o torment_n of_o hell_n pray_v luke_n unto_o abraham_n no_o doubt_v a_o worthy_a example_n for_o we_o to_o follow_v that_o of_o a_o damn_a spirit_n in_o hell_n we_o must_v learn_v to_o make_v our_o prayer_n to_o saint_n in_o heaven_n by_o such_o authority_n the_o doctrine_n of_o devil_n may_v well_o be_v establish_v but_o the_o child_n of_o god_n be_v teach_v a_o other_o form_n of_o prayer_n by_o their_o

request_n &_o neither_o of_o they_o both_o be_v grant_v alas_o what_o comfort_n shall_v any_o man_n take_v by_o these_o example_n to_o pray_v to_o dead_a saint_n &_o yet_o these_o be_v the_o best_a reason_n they_o have_v out_o of_o the_o scripture_n sure_o it_o be_v a_o pitiful_a case_n that_o man_n will_v leave_v god_n who_o have_v command_v we_o to_o call_v upon_o he_o &_o promise_v to_o hear_v we_o 50._o to_o call_v upon_o dead_a man_n to_o who_o we_o have_v no_o commaundenent_n nor_o example_n of_o any_o godly_a person_n to_o pray_v neither_o have_v they_o make_v any_o promise_n neither_o if_o they_o have_v make_v any_o promise_n be_v they_o able_a to_o perform_v it_o but_o let_v we_o leave_v the_o papist_n with_o their_o woeful_a argument_n &_o return_v to_o the_o apostle_n in_o their_o request_n make_v unto_o christ_n dismiss_v she_o say_v they_o for_o she_o cry_v after_o us._n by_o these_o word_n we_o may_v easy_o perceive_v how_o importunate_o she_o continue_v her_o suit_n although_o he_o hold_v his_o peace_n and_o answer_v she_o not_o one_o word_n for_o still_o she_o cry_v &_o be_v nothing_o discourage_v whereby_o we_o see_v that_o this_o first_o repulse_n do_v so_o little_o diminish_v her_o desire_n that_o it_o kindle_v it_o more_o &_o more_o and_o so_o do_v god_n often_o time_n in_o suspend_a &_o differ_v the_o answer_n &_o effect_v of_o our_o prayer_n

so_o render_v worthy_a thank_n to_o he_o that_o be_v the_o author_n of_o it_o for_o such_o be_v our_o malignity_n that_o if_o we_o be_v prevent_v with_o god_n benefit_n as_o often_o time_n we_o be_v or_o else_o obtain_v they_o immediate_o upon_o our_o request_n we_o forget_v that_o we_o receive_v they_o of_o god_n &_o so_o become_v unthankful_a for_o they_o also_o we_o do_v not_o great_o esteem_v those_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v not_o long_o want_v nor_o much_o desire_a whereby_o as_o for_o small_a benefit_n &_o not_o great_a gift_n we_o render_v slender_a thanks_n to_o god_n therefore_o
