eat_v of_o the_o crumb_n which_o fall_v from_o their_o master_n table_n the_o lord_n have_v in_o a_o manner_n call_v her_o dog_n and_o say_v it_o be_v not_o for_o dog_n to_o have_v child_n bread_n

her_o carriage_n into_o one_o lesson_n but_o before_o i_o do_v that_o i_o shall_v name_v two_o other_o observable_a point_n the_o first_o be_v this_o a_o right_a faith_n come_v and_z carrying_z of_o the_o soul_n to_o christ_n be_v a_o resolute_a faith_n that_o be_v one_o point_n i_o will_v name_v pray_v mark_v it_o the_o lord_n jesus_n seem_v to_o put_v she_o off_o he_o give_v she_o nothing_o that_o be_v a_o visible_a encouragement_n yet_o she_o will_v go_v on_o and_o yet_o she_o will_v not_o be_v put_v off_o when_o the_o soul_n come_v to_o christ_n he_o come_v as_o one_o that_o need_v a_o christ_n and_o want_v a_o christ_n will_v have_v and_o as_o one_o that_o must_v have_v a_o christ_n and_o what_o then_o he_o will_v have_v a_o christ_n before_o he_o go_v away_o though_o he_o have_v not_o evidence_n he_o will_v have_v adherence_n though_o the_o soul_n can_v see_v nothing_o and_o though_o no_o hope_n yet_o he_o will_v be_v resolute_a although_o christ_n will_v not_o smile_v though_o conscience_n be_v not_o quiet_a though_o the_o wound_n be_v not_o heal_v though_o the_o lord_n put_v off_o angry_o yet_o the_o soul_n keep_v resolute_a to_o he_o and_o will_v not_o be_v send_v away_o empty_a faith_n if_o right_a be_v still_o resolute_a the_o second_o point_n that_o i_o shall_v name_v be_v this_o that_o a_o right_a faith_n know_v how_o to_o confess_v and_o believe_v at_o once_o a_o true_a believer_n will_v not_o conceal_v his_o sin_n yet_o will_v close_v with_o jesus_n christ_n a_o right_a faith_n will_v deny_v nothing_o and_o yet_o it_o will_v believe_v all_o thing_n my_o brethren_n mark_v it_o a_o little_a there_o be_v a_o company_n of_o vile_a people_n that_o be_v as_o they_o say_v all_o for_o faith_n and_o nothing_o for_o confession_n and_o what_o say_v they_o believer_n it_o be_v not_o for_o they_o to_o come_v and_o confess_v sin_n why_o a_o believer_n will_v confess_v sin_n do_v the_o lord_n say_v dog_n yes_o truth_n lord_n i_o be_o a_o dog_n will_v the_o soul_n say_v as_o this_o woman_n do_v there_o be_v other_o that_o will_v confess_v and_o not_o believe_v oh_o they_o cry_v out_o they_o must_v confess_v and_o bewail_v and_o lie_v low_a and_o humble_v themselves_o etc._n etc._n but_o they_o can_v believe_v they_o dare_v not_o believe_v confession_n be_v their_o work_n etc._n etc._n why_o poor_a heart_n you_o may_v do_v both_o you_o may_v say_v lord_n i_o be_o a_o sinner_n yet_o i_o believe_v for_o mercy_n be_v for_o sinner_n i_o be_o ungodly_a yet_o i_o believe_v for_o abraham_n believe_v in_o he_o who_o justifi_v the_o ungodly_a i_o be_o a_o dog_n as_o thou_o say_v lord_n yet_o i_o believe_v a_o dog_n may_v gather_v up_o a_o crumb_n well_o remember_v it_o true_a faith_n do_v not_o hinder_v confession_n nor_o confession_n shall_v not_o hinder_v faith_n but_o the_o particular_a lesson_n of_o the_o place_n be_v this_o namely_o that_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n the_o wisdom_n the_o glory_n of_o poor_a soul_n to_o carry_v it_o holy_o and_o humble_o unto_o christ_n when_o christ_n seem_v to_o carry_v it_o harsh_o unto_o they_o so_o do_v this_o poor_a woman_n or_o if_o you_o will_v take_v it_o short_o thus_o it_o become_v christian_n to_o carry_v it_o real_o well_o when_o christ_n carry_v it_o seem_o ill_n i_o know_v my_o brethren_n this_o be_v a_o hard_a work_n but_o as_o hard_o as_o it_o be_v we_o must_v learn_v it_o and_o i_o will_v assure_v you_o if_o ever_o god_n intend_v to_o do_v you_o good_a though_o flesh_n and_o blood_n murmur_v yet_o the_o lord_n will_v whip_v you_o into_o this_o lesson_n but_o he_o will_v make_v you_o learn_v it_o namely_o to_o carry_v it_o holy_o to_o he_o when_o he_o carry_v it_o seem_o harsh_a to_o you_o i_o remember_v that_o passage_n in_o 1_o pet._n 2.18_o servant_n be_v obedient_a to_o your_o master_n not_o only_o to_o the_o good_a and_o gentle_a but_o also_o to_o the_o froward_a it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o a_o servant_n profess_v the_o name_n of_o god_n though_o he_o have_v a_o froward_a master_n yet_o he_o must_v carry_v it_o well_o now_o mark_v it_o be_v it_o the_o duty_n of_o a_o servant_n to_o carry_v it_o well_o to_o a_o bad_a master_n and_o be_v it_o not_o the_o duty_n of_o saint_n to_o carry_v it_o well_o to_o christ_n we_o be_v the_o servant_n he_o be_v the_o master_n so_o in_o heb._n 12.9_o mark_v the_o apostle_n argumentation_n say_v he_o we_o have_v have_v father_n of_o our_o flesh_n which_o correct_v we_o and_o we_o give_v they_o reverence_n shall_v we_o not_o much_o rather_o be_v in_o subjection_n unto_o the_o father_n of_o spirit_n and_o lâ—ve_v mark_v there_o be_v life_n in_o this_o our_o life_n depend_v on_o our_o reverend_a carriage_n in_o this_o case_n alas_o if_o christ_n be_v go_v our_o life_n go_v with_o he_o carry_v it_o well_o therefore_o if_o thou_o love_v thy_o life_n you_o must_v be_v subject_a and_o submissive_a even_o when_o he_o seem_v to_o be_v sharp_a otherwise_o death_n be_v at_o the_o

submit_v there_o it_o be_v soul_n in_o the_o point_n be_v your_o life_n therefore_o mark_v the_o lesson_n well_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n wisdom_n and_o glory_n of_o saint_n to_o carry_v it_o well_o to_o christ_n when_o he_o carry_v it_o seem_o ill_a to_o they_o there_o be_v four_o person_n in_o the_o book_n of_o god_n record_v that_o god_n do_v seem_v to_o deal_v very_o hardly_o withal_o and_o

of_o job_n in_o the_o first_o and_o second_o chapter_n you_o may_v read_v and_o see_v that_o god_n carry_v it_o strange_o to_o he_o yet_o it_o be_v say_v in_o all_o this_o job_n carry_v it_o very_o

according_a to_o our_o doctrine_n three_o our_o lord_n mother_n carry_v it_o well_o to_o the_o lord_n when_o he_o seem_v to_o carry_v it_o harsh_a to_o she_o in_o john_n 2.3_o there_o you_o have_v

it_o nothing_o but_o faith_n will_v do_v it_o i_o will_v give_v you_o but_o a_o instance_n of_o it_o self_n do_v hinder_v come_v to_o christ_n two_o way_n 1_o either_o by_o too_o much_o diffidence_n 2_o or_o too_o much_o confidence_n one_o while_o it_o be_v too_o high_a and_o will_v nor_o stoop_v to_o come_v to_o christ_n another_o while_n too_o low_a it_o can_v be_v raise_v up_o to_o such_o a_o

proud_a self_n so_o as_o that_o arrogancy_n shall_v not_o hinder_v the_o soul_n come_v and_o close_v with_o christ_n and_o for_o diffidence_n and_o the_o work_n of_o self_n that_o way_n why_o faith_n do_v evident_o carry_v the_o soul_n over_o that_o hindrance_n for_o faith_n see_v the_o arm_n of_o christ_n stretch_v forth_o to_o receive_v the_o feeble_a soul_n faith_n tell_v the_o weak_a heart_n that_o christ_n will_v come_v to_o it_o if_o it_o can_v go_v to_o he_o faith_n assure_v the_o soul_n that_o christ_n will_v enable_v it_o to_o embrace_v himself_o faith_n show_v christ_n as_o able_a

to_o proceed_v second_o satan_n he_o binder_n and_o remember_v it_o satan_n do_v more_o oppose_v your_o go_n to_o christ_n than_o he_o do_v oppose_v your_o leave_v of_o sin_n if_o thou_o will_v

above_o all_o take_v the_o shield_n of_o faith_n whereby_o you_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o quench_v the_o fiery_a dart_n of_o the_o devil_n let_v satan_n do_v his_o worst_a faith_n will_v carry_v on_o

this_o be_v the_o victory_n that_o overcome_v the_o world_n even_o our_o faith_n and_o then_o last_o christ_n himself_o seem_v to_o oppose_v the_o lord_n do_v not_o speak_v and_o that_o be_v sad_a

by_o god_n my_o belove_a faith_n do_v therefore_o carry_v we_o out_o through_o all_o because_o it_o be_v that_o grace_n that_o god_n alone_o have_v appoint_v read_v the_o gospel_n or_o the_o prophet_n and_o you_o will_v find_v they_o speak_v of_o these_o two_o great_a truth_n first_o that_o christ_n be_v the_o only_a one_o that_o be_v appoint_v to_o bring_v we_o to_o salvation_n there_o be_v no_o name_n but_o he_o act._n 4.12_o second_o that_o faith_n be_v the_o only_a grace_n appoint_v to_o bring_v we_o to_o christ_n you_o have_v our_o lord_n short_o in_o one_o place_n speak_v of_o both_o in_o john_n 6.40_o and_o this_o be_v the_o will_n of_o he_o that_o send_v i_o that_o every_o one_o which_o see_v the_o son_n and_o believe_v on_o he_o may_v have_v everlasting_a life_n and_o i_o will_v raise_v he_o up_o at_o the_o last_o day_n there_o be_v a_o great_a question_n among_o divine_n why_o faith_n rather_o than_o charity_n patience_n or_o gospel-obedâ—ence_a shall_v be_v the_o great_a instrument_n of_o justification_n and_o my_o beloved_n this_o be_v the_o absolute_a answer_n to_o the_o question_n because_o god_n have_v only_o appoint_v it_o there_o may_v be_v some_o conjectural_a reason_n why_o god_n have_v appoint_v faith_n but_o the_o chief_a reason_n be_v because_o god_n have_v appoint_v it_o now_o divine_a institution_n be_v upon_o faith_n thence_o it_o be_v that_o faith_n do_v the_o work_n it_o be_v not_o from_o any_o inherent_a worth_n in_o the_o grace_n alas_o what_o be_v the_o worth_n of_o a_o sinner_n hand_n to_o take_v a_o glorious_a christ_n but_o it_o be_v only_o from_o god_n pleasure_n and_o appointment_n that_o faith_n alone_o shall_v be_v the_o grace_n to_o carry_v the_o soul_n to_o and_o help_v the_o soul_n in_o its_o receive_n of_o christ_n god_n have_v appoint_v no_o other_o leg_n to_o carry_v we_o and_o because_o he_o have_v appoint_v these_o he_o will_v bless_v his_o own_o appointment_n to_o effect_v the_o work_n the_o lord_n appointment_n make_v all_o thing_n operative_a therefore_o second_o the_o reason_n be_v from_o the_o operation_n of_o faith_n in_o we_o by_o virtue_n of_o that_o appointment_n my_o belove_a faith_n it_o be_v a_o work_a grace_n and_o faith_n be_v our_o great_a strength_n in_o every_o work_a grace_n it_o convey_v strength_n unto_o all_o grace_n there_o be_v a_o threefold_a operation_n of_o faith_n to_o carry_v the_o soul_n through_o all_o difficulty_n and_o discouragement_n in_o its_o go_n to_o christ_n viz._n a_o enlighten_v a_o enliven_a and_o a_o embrace_v work_n in_o the_o bless_a business_n of_o close_v with_o christ_n i_o will_v a_o little_a open_v they_o all_o three_o first_o faith_n have_v a_o enlighten_v work_n a_o enlighten_v work_n be_v that_o which_o carry_v a_o man_n through_o many_o difficulty_n and_o discouragement_n in_o psal_n 34._o you_o have_v a_o fine_a expression_n where_o david_n be_v speak_v of_o his_o and_o other_o seek_v god_n and_o of_o their_o encouragement_n in_o that_o work_n say_v he_o in_o vers_fw-la 5._o they_o look_v unto_o he_o and_o be_v lighten_v and_o their_o face_n be_v not_o ashamed_a by_o faith_n the_o soul_n see_v the_o necessity_n of_o christ_n the_o inclinableness_n of_o the_o heart_n of_o christ_n etc._n etc._n and_o this_o carry_v the_o soul_n through_o all_o difficulty_n say_v faith_n look_v yonder_o there_o and_o there_o alone_o be_v the_o rock_n of_o safety_n and_o if_o you_o be_v not_o there_o you_o must_v sink_v this_o make_v the_o soul_n swim_v amain_o and_o look_v say_v faith_n there_o be_v a_o safe_a land_n christ_n say_v faith_n stand_v with_o outstretch_v arm_n of_o power_n and_o love_n to_o embrace_v thou_o and_o faith_n realize_v such_o a_o fight_n evidence_v it_o to_o the_o soul_n and_o so_o enable_v the_o soul_n to_o see_v it_o help_v the_o soul_n to_o go_v to_o christ_n second_o faith_n have_v not_o only_o a_o enlighten_v work_n but_o a_o inlve_a work_n my_o belove_a other_o grace_n stir_v we_o up_o and_o put_v we_o on_o to_o go_v to_o christ_n but_o faith_n do_v only_o enliven_v we_o love_n and_o humility_n do_v marvellous_o stir_v up_o the_o soul_n to_o go_v to_o jesus_n christ_n and_o so_o do_v other_o grace_n i_o but_o these_o do_v not_o feed_v the_o soul_n nor_o strengthen_v there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o difference_n between_o the_o whip_n and_o the_o meat_n you_o give_v the_o horse_n a_o whip_n a_o blow_n that_o stir_v it_o but_o do_v not_o strengthen_v it_o a_o conviction_n of_o need_n a_o fear_n of_o hell_n stir_v we_o to_o go_v to_o christ_n but_o it_o do_v not_o enable_v we_o or_o inlve_v we_o my_o belove_a faith_n be_v the_o strengthen_v grace_n the_o just_a shall_v live_v by_o faith_n heb._n 10._o there_o say_v he_o you_o have_v need_n of_o patience_n that_o after_o you_o have_v do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n you_o may_v receive_v the_o promise_n etc._n etc._n now_o the_o just_a shall_v live_v by_o faith_n 36_o 37_o &_o 38._o verse_n do_v not_o cast_v away_o your_o confidence_n what_o then_o you_o have_v need_n of_o patience_n etc._n etc._n do_v he_o stay_v there_o no_o but_o add_v the_o just_a shall_v live_v by_o faith_n true_a you_o will_v need_v patience_n if_o you_o go_v to_o christ_n but_o you_o will_v live_v alone_o by_o faith_n we_o need_v patience_n to_o tarry_v the_o lord_n leisure_n to_o bear_v the_o lord_n frown_n to_o tarry_v till_o he_o come_v but_o how_o shall_v we_o live_v in_o the_o mean_a time_n oh_o the_o just_a shall_v live_v by_o faith_n faith_n be_v a_o enlighten_v grace_n therefore_o it_o be_v a_o enliven_a grace_n faith_n it_o find_v honey_n as_o jonathan_n and_o faith_n it_o find_v a_o promise_n and_o dip_v in_o the_o finger_n and_o take_v a_o little_a and_o that_o enlivens_fw-la and_o strengthen_v the_o soul_n nay_o i'faith_o though_o it_o be_v full_a of_o fear_n it_o be_v a_o soul-enlivening-grace_n take_v that_o instance_n of_o the_o woman_n with_o a_o bloody_a issue_n in_o luke_n 8.44_o compare_v with_o vers_n 46._o it_o be_v clear_a she_o have_v a_o faith_n and_o she_o have_v fear_n and_o she_o have_v virtue_n for_o this_o faith_n full_a of_o fear_n do_v gather_v virtue_n from_o jesus_n christ_n so_o thy_o faith_n that_o be_v full_a of_o fear_n may_v gather_v virtue_n from_o jesus_n christ_n and_o therefore_o be_v it_o that_o it_o carry_v we_o through_o all_o difficulty_n in_o our_o go_n to_o christ_n three_o faith_n it_o have_v a_o embrace_a work_n these_o all_o die_v in_o faith_n not_o have_v receive_v the_o promise_n what_o then_o how_o can_v they_o live_v but_o have_v see_v they_o afar_o off_o embrace_v they_o heb._n 11.13_o my_o belove_a faith_n it_o have_v a_o embrace_a work_n of_o the_o promise_n and_o because_o faith_n can_v embrace_v the_o promise_n therefore_o can_v it_o carry_v the_o soul_n through_o all_o the_o difficulty_n that_o it_o meet_v with_o in_o the_o way_n to_o christ_n what_o be_v the_o anchor_n at_o the_o end_n of_o a_o cable_n one_o ship_n will_v carry_v a_o thousand_o anchor_n but_o one_o anchor_n will_v hold_v the_o ship_n because_o it_o have_v a_o fasten_n power_n faith_n be_v but_o a_o

in_o that_o very_a thing_n carry_v the_o soul_n to_o christ_n through_o all_o difficulty_n well_o i_o pray_v mind_n and_o meditate_v a_o little_a upon_o these_o thing_n for_o they_o be_v of_o the_o

now_o the_o promise_n be_v not_o the_o object_n of_o faith_n it_o be_v true_a the_o object_n of_o faith_n be_v in_o the_o promise_n but_o the_o promise_n itself_o be_v not_o the_o object_n of_o

my_o brethren_n the_o soul_n be_v apt_a to_o linger_v in_o the_o matter_n of_o take_v christ_n but_o when_o christ_n

shall_v stand_v off_o that_o will_v make_v the_o soul_n come_v on_o more_o hasty_o jesus_n christ_n do_v catch_v we_o by_o craft_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v 2_o cor._n 12.16_o true_o christ_n do_v

catch_v by_o craft_n well_o this_o be_v the_o account_n of_o the_o reason_n wherefore_o it_o be_v that_o sometime_o christ_n be_v seem_o harsh_a to_o some_o soul_n there_o be_v but_o three_o use_v i_o aim_v at_o in_o this_o doctrine_n use_v 1_o the_o first_o use_n be_v to_o let_v we_o all_o see_v that_o christ_n be_v not_o so_o easy_o come_v by_o as_o the_o generality_n of_o people_n do_v think_v all_o have_v christ_n free_o but_o not_o easy_o mind_v it_o my_o brethren_n i_o think_v and_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o my_o thought_n because_o it_o may_v awaken_v you_o and_o do_v you_o good_a i_o think_v many_o will_v go_v to_o hell_n as_o upon_o other_o mistake_n so_o upon_o this_o that_o they_o do_v think_v it_o easy_a to_o go_v to_o heaven_n and_o easy_a to_o come_v by_o jesus_n christ_n but_o if_o it_o be_v true_a that_o christ_n stand_v a_o loof_o off_o from_o a_o poor_a soul_n than_o it_o will_v appear_v to_o be_v a_o hard_a work_n to_o come_v by_o he_o remember_v this_o you_o will_v find_v three_o thing_n will_v make_v it_o hard_a work_n ere_o jesus_n christ_n and_o you_o be_v bring_v together_o 1_o the_o backwardness_n of_o your_o own_o heart_n 2_o the_o many_o hinder_a ance_n and_o put_v in_o of_o satan_n 3_o and_o the_o seem_a backwardness_n of_o jesus_n christ_n first_o your_o own_o heart_n will_v be_v backward_o ah_o soul_n unless_o the_o lord_n make_v it_o a_o day_n of_o his_o power_n they_o be_v not_o a_o willing_a people_n psa_n 110._o he_o that_o talk_v of_o freewill_n i_o be_o afraid_a be_v never_o sensible_a of_o freegrace_n nor_o of_o the_o backwardness_n of_o his_o own_o heart_n second_o the_o devil_n make_v it_o hard_a work_n too_o very_o when_o the_o soul_n will_v go_v to_o christ_n the_o devil_n will_v hinder_v and_o set_v one_o to_o hinder_v another_o to_o keep_v the_o soul_n off_o from_o go_v to_o jesus_n christ_n but_o three_o and_o especial_o the_o seem_a harsh_a deal_v of_o jesus_n christ_n make_v it_o very_o hard_a work_n oh_o say_v some_o poor_a soul_n my_o think_v the_o lord_n make_v i_o willing_a and_o hunger_a after_o a_o christ_n but_o when_o i_o come_v to_o christ_n christ_n hang_v off_o my_o think_v god_n the_o father_n be_v willing_a i_o shall_v have_v christ_n he_o have_v send_v he_o the_o spirit_n be_v willing_a he_o have_v reveal_v christ_n to_o i_o and_o my_o heart_n be_v willing_a but_o i_o come_v to_o christ_n and_o he_o do_v not_o hear_v i_o very_o here_o you_o will_v find_v difficulty_n and_o it_o will_v much_o pazzle_v and_o try_v faith_n to_o believe_v upon_o and_o close_o with_o a_o christ_n who_o seem_v to_o stand_v at_o a_o distance_n his_o seem_a harsh_a deal_v will_v make_v it_o real_a hard_a believe_a use_v 2._o the_o second_o use_n be_v of_o caution_n i_o pray_v learn_v by_o this_o to_o take_v heed_n how_o you_o provoke_v the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n to_o deal_v thus_o harsh_o with_o any_o of_o you_o my_o brethren_n the_o lord_n christ_n can_v frown_v and_o look_v bitter_o and_o deal_v severe_o etc._n etc._n and_o beware_v how_o you_o provoke_v he_o so_o to_o do_v the_o truth_n be_v there_o be_v some_o soul_n that_o rational_o i_o mean_v religious_o rational_o can_v expect_v otherwise_o that_o if_o christ_n do_v receive_v they_o he_o shall_v receive_v they_o very_o harsh_o let_v i_o in_o a_o word_n touch_v upon_o this_o and_o do_v you_o remember_v it_o two_o word_n i_o will_v speak_v my_o mind_n in_o that_o i_o may_v not_o be_v mistake_v first_o this_o i_o do_v not_o say_v that_o there_o be_v any_o soul_n that_o have_v reason_n to_o think_v jesus_n

you_o to_o conclude_v that_o there_o be_v no_o come_n to_o the_o lord_n but_o this_o i_o say_v second_o that_o though_o you_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o think_v he_o will_v cast_v you_o off_o yet_o you_o have_v reason_n to_o think_v he_o will_v deal_v harsh_o with_o you_o you_o may_v have_v reason_n to_o fear_v he_o will_v not_o present_o entertain_v you_o first_o i_o think_v there_o be_v some_o

yet_o he_o may_v set_v they_o stand_v all_o night_n some_o soul_n christ_n may_v let_v they_o be_v hoarse_a with_o cry_v and_o yet_o jesus_n christ_n may_v stand_v off_o second_o there_o be_v some_o soul_n that_o may_v expect_v that_o though_o he_o shall_v let_v they_o in_o yet_o it_o may_v be_v with_o they_o as_o with_o some_o child_n the_o child_n be_v let_v in_o and_o he_o sit_v at_o the_o

it_o may_v be_v three_o there_o be_v some_o soul_n that_o may_v expect_v that_o though_o christ_n will_v give_v they_o mercy_n yet_o he_o will_v dispure_v it_o out_o with_o they_o that_o they_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

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

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

that_o though_o the_o lord_n may_v make_v use_n of_o and_o sanctify_v affliction_n as_o sickness_n upon_o we_o and_o we_o to_o bring_v we_o home_o to_o himself_o yet_o it_o be_v very_o rare_o without_o the_o word_n there_o be_v two_o consideration_n in_o particular_a that_o i_o will_v have_v you_o mind_n first_o many_o time_n affliction_n as_o poverty_n and_o sickness_n do_v make_v a_o word_n to_o work_v a_o word_n that_o we_o have_v hear_v the_o word_n of_o the_o wise_a say_v solomon_n they_o be_v as_o nail_n fasten_v now_o it_o may_v be_v the_o lord_n fasten_v or_o rather_o put_v in_o a_o nail_n in_o the_o assembly_n by_o his_o word_n and_o the_o poor_a soul_n run_v away_o now_o the_o lord_n send_v a_o affliction_n after_o he_o to_o fasten_v the_o nail_n and_o the_o man_n be_v cast_v upon_o a_o sickbed_n and_o now_o say_v he_o i_o remember_v such_o a_o instruction_n affliction_n bring_v home_o and_o drive_v home_o a_o word_n former_o preach_v unto_o we_o which_o we_o hear_v and_o do_v not_o regard_n or_o remember_v but_o now_o by_o a_o affliction_n be_v make_v to_o do_v both_o i_o have_v think_v affliction_n do_v that_o which_o posset-drink_a do_v in_o physic_n it_o be_v a_o plain_a similitude_n yet_o mark_v it_o a_o man_n take_v physic_n and_o it_o work_v not_o then_o give_v he_o a_o draught_n of_o posset-drink_a and_o that_o make_v it_o work_n that_o help_v it_o on_o so_o it_o be_v here_o a_o word_n be_v give_v out_o and_o it_o work_v not_o than_o the_o lord_n send_v affliction_n and_o that_o make_v it_o work_v but_o still_o it_o be_v the_o word_n that_o work_v the_o word_n former_o hear_v etc._n etc._n you_o know_v what_o be_v say_v in_o psal_n 141.6_o it_o be_v say_v there_o when_o they_o be_v overthrow_v in_o stony_a place_n they_o shall_v hear_v

well_o mind_n this_o though_o affliction_n work_v it_o be_v rather_o as_o a_o help_n to_o the_o word_n than_o of_o itself_o without_o the_o word_n this_o be_v one_o consideration_n second_o another_o consideration_n be_v this_o that_o most_o the_o lord_n make_v use_v of_o affliction_n if_o not_o to_o back_o what_o we_o have_v hear_v yet_o to_o bring_v they_o to_o hear_v mind_v it_o many_o a_o time_n the_o poor_a creature_n have_v live_v without_o sermon-hearing_a all_o his_o day_n and_o affliction_n come_v and_o that_o drive_v he_o to_o the_o word_n now_o the_o soul_n will_v go_v to_o

without_o it_o i_o pray_v then_o mark_v these_o consideration_n to_o keep_v up_o your_o high_a thought_n of_o the_o word_n and_o that_o preach_v as_o the_o prime_a mean_n very_o experience_n seal_v to_o these_o two_o thing_n that_o the_o work_n of_o affliction_n rather_o second_v a_o word_n hear_v or_o bring_v the_o soul_n to_o hear_v the_o word_n than_o simple_o work_v without_o it_o now_o then_o for_o the_o application_n of_o this_o there_o be_v five_o uses_n that_o i_o shall_v lay_v before_o you_o first_o do_v the_o lord_n this_o way_n use_n and_o sanctify_v sickness_n and_o affliction_n sometime_o upon_o we_o or_o we_o then_o look_v about_o you_o and_o see_v whether_o god_n have_v sanctify_v any_o affliction_n upon_o you_o we_o live_v in_o a_o sickly_a time_n it_o may_v be_v sickness_n have_v be_v in_o all_o your_o family_n have_v this_o like_o the_o woman_n of_o canaan_n bring_v you_o to_o christ_n do_v the_o sickness_n of_o thy_o body_n advance_v thy_o foot_n to_o

in_o a_o soul-way_n in_o a_o soul_n saving-way_n quest_n how_o shall_v i_o know_v that_o answ_n let_v i_o propose_v two_o thing_n to_o you_o to_o let_v you_o try_v first_o when_o any_o affliction_n bring_v a_o soul_n to_o christ_n beside_o the_o material_a sickness_n or_o affliction_n that_o be_v upon_o the_o outward_a man_n the_o soul_n be_v sensible_a of_o something_o like_o it_o light_v upon_o the_o inward_a man._n there_o be_v a_o sense_n of_o the_o same_o spiritual_o as_o well_o as_o corporal_o as_o now_o when_o sickness_n bring_v a_o man_n to_o christ_n he_o speak_v thus_o i_o be_o sick_a my_o head_n ache_v i_o and_o say_v the_o man_n my_o heart_n ache_v too_o oh_o wife_n i_o be_o a_o poor_a sinner_n i_o cry_v first_o out_o i_o be_o sick_a in_o body_n but_o now_o i_o be_o sick_a in_o soul_n still_o the_o soul_n see_v something_o like_o it_o in_o spiritual_n if_o his_o sickness_n bring_v he_o to_o christ_n if_o thou_o only_o be_v sensible_a of_o a_o corporal_a disease_n and_o go_v to_o christ_n for_o that_o than_o it_o be_v but_o a_o corporal_a come_n not_o a_o soul_n nor_o a_o save_a come_n unto_o christ_n but_o when_o thy_o sick_a body_n lead_v thou_o to_o the_o sense_n of_o a_o sick_a soul_n when_o thy_o fever_n thy_o ague_n bring_v thou_o to_o feel_v the_o like_a distemper_n in_o thy_o soul_n and_o thou_o thereupon_o wente_v unto_o christ_n for_o that_o than_o be_v sickness_n indeed_o sanctify_v in_o a_o soul-saving-way_n second_o observe_v this_o he_o that_o by_o any_o affliction_n or_o sickness_n be_v bring_v home_o to_o christ_n whatever_o the_o issue_n of_o the_o affliction_n may_v be_v his_o heart_n be_v for_o certain_a move_a still_o towards_o christ_n even_o after_o the_o sickness_n be_v go_v you_o may_v have_v a_o man_n while_o the_o sickness_n be_v upon_o he_o than_o he_o may_v be_v up_o in_o prayer_n with_o his_o lord_n have_v mercy_n etc._n etc._n but_o when_o it_o be_v go_v his_o sickness_n be_v go_v and_o devotion_n be_v go_v too_o but_o if_o this_o bring_v he_o to_o christ_n though_o the_o sickness_n be_v go_v yet_o the_o man_n follow_v after_o christ_n still_o and_o mind_n he_o the_o soul_n after_o sickness_n be_v as_o he_o luk._n 8.38_o who_o beseech_v the_o lord_n that_o he_o may_v be_v with_o he_o o_o soul_n if_o thou_o come_v to_o christ_n sick_a thou_o desire_v to_o be_v with_o christ_n well_o i_o pray_v then_o look_v to_o it_o see_v if_o your_o affliction_n have_v be_v sanctify_v

tell_v you_o the_o way_n to_o christ_n be_v open_a to_o all_o but_o then_o how_o do_v she_o come_v she_o come_v with_o much_o affection_n she_o cry_v lord_n and_o she_o come_v for_o mere_a mercy_n justify_v faith_n still_o go_v to_o free_a grace_n and_o mere_a mercy_n and_o she_o come_v to_o he_o as_o he_o be_v the_o messiah_n the_o son_n of_o david_n she_o do_v and_o we_o must_v eye_n christ_n as_o he_o be_v in_o all_o our_o address_n last_o but_o what_o bring_v the_o good_a woman_n here_o why_o true_o it_o be_v a_o sick_a child_n at_o home_n that_o be_v sore_o sick_a that_o bring_v she_o

mind_n it_o for_o my_o brethren_n we_o have_v live_v for_o some_o month_n under_o one_o sickness_n or_o other_o but_o now_o let_v i_o ask_v you_o the_o question_n have_v you_o do_v like_o the_o woman_n of_o cannon_n have_v you_o go_v to_o jesus_n christ_n not_o only_o for_o they_o but_o have_v you_o go_v for_o your_o soul_n to_o jesus_n christ_n mother_n have_v thy_o sick_a child_n bring_v

or_o any_o of_o you_o which_o as_o the_o woman_n of_o canaan_n bring_v you_o home_o to_o jesus_n christ_n therefore_o i_o shall_v press_v it_o home_o a_o little_a further_o in_o four_o thing_n by_o way_n of_o consideration_n for_o you_o to_o take_v the_o more_o special_a heed_n unto_o the_o thing_n which_o i_o then_o speak_v and_o you_o hear_v viz._n the_o improvement_n of_o all_o affliction_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 home_o to_o himself_o the_o lord_n see_v nothing_o else_o will_v do_v thou_o good_a and_o therefore_o send_v that_o thou_o be_v it_o may_v be_v a_o poor_a vain_a creature_n that_o can_v scoff_v at_o a_o sermon_n and_o no_o preach_v will_v do_v thou_o good_a now_o it_o may_v be_v the_o lord_n send_v sickness_n to_o bring_v thou_o in_o he_o do_v by_o sickness_n as_o by_o a_o special_a servant_n 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 the_o messenger_n have_v not_o his_o answer_n woe_n be_v to_o you_o it_o be_v a_o great_a evil_a to_o neglect_v any_o of_o the_o lord_n messenger_n second_o it_o be_v certain_a we_o have_v all_o more_o reason_n to_o go_v to_o christ_n for_o our_o soul_n than_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o any_o sickness_n for_o our_o body_n our_o soul_n be_v our_o high_a concernment_n and_o there_o be_v more_o

soul_n be_v better_a than_o their_o body_n indeed_o we_o read_v of_o one_o he_o have_v a_o holy_a soul_n but_o a_o weak_a body_n holy_a gaius_n in_o the_o three_o epistle_n of_o john_n but_o general_o our_o soul_n be_v worse_o than_o our_o body_n and_o therefore_o we_o have_v more_o reason_n to_o go_v for_o our_o soul_n the_o fever_n it_o may_v be_v be_v upon_o thy_o body_n and_o be_v it_o not_o in_o thy_o soul_n the_o devil_n possess_v thy_o child_n body_n do_v he_o not_o possess_v thy_o own_o soul_n oh_o therefore_o consider_v you_o have_v more_o reason_n to_o go_v for_o your_o soul_n than_o your_o body_n set_v every_o thing_n be_v sanctify_v in_o you_o and_o have_v that_o work_n upon_o you_o three_o the_o lord_n jesus_n have_v more_o bowel_n and_o he_o be_v easy_a prevail_v withal_o to_o do_v for_o the_o soul_n than_o in_o any_o case_n for_o our_o body_n or_o for_o the_o body_n of_o our_o relation_n you_o never_o read_v of_o any_o that_o come_v to_o christ_n for_o

say_v god_n i_o have_v command_v it_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o be_v it_o unto_o thou_o my_o belove_a jesus_n christ_n at_o last_o will_v say_v i_o command_v every_o ordinance_n every_o creature_n

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 we_o may_v expect_v it_o object_n but_o we_o have_v know_v many_o a_o parent_n that_o have_v go_v in_o faith_n to_o jesus_n christ_n for_o a_o poor_a child_n that_o never_o have_v prevail_v how_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 hard_a but_o yet_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o hear_v he_o you_o have_v the_o story_n in_o 2_o sam._n 12.16_o david_n beseech_v god_n for_o the_o child_n and_o fast_v etc._n etc._n and_o if_o it_o be_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 good_a for_o david_n that_o the_o child_n shall_v live_v have_v the_o child_n live_v it_o will_v have_v be_v his_o father_n shame_n etc._n etc._n when_o thou_o go_v to_o god_n to_o beg_v the_o life_n 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 do_v hear_v david_n for_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o child_n i_o shall_v give_v you_o this_o account_n of_o it_o say_v david_n in_o v._o 23._o i_o shall_v go_v to_o he_o but_o he_o shall_v not_o return_v to_o i_o whither_o be_v that_o not_o so_o much_o i_o shall_v go_v to_o he_o in_o my_o body_n to_o the_o grave_n but_o in_o my_o soul_n to_o god_n and_o my_o belove_a that_o this_o be_v intend_v

do_v appear_v upon_o this_o consideration_n nothing_o but_o this_o can_v have_v so_o quiet_v the_o heart_n of_o david_n that_o the_o child_n be_v happy_a indeed_o some_o think_v that_o the_o phrase_n i_o shall_v go_v to_o he_o be_v no_o more_o but_o i_o shall_v be_v dead_a as_o he_o be_v and_o they_o say_v david_n do_v acquiesce_v in_o this_o that_o the_o will_n of_o god_n be_v fulfil_v and_o therefore_o david_n comfort_v himself_o in_o this_o i_o shall_v go_v to_o he_o but_o if_o this_o have_v not_o be_v to_o heaven_n it_o can_v have_v be_v no_o great_a comfort_n alas_o what_o comfort_n be_v this_o bare_a thought_n to_o a_o mourn_a parent_n my_o child_n be_v dead_a and_o i_o shall_v die_v too_o david_n may_v have_v have_v that_o comfort_n in_o absalon_n death_n but_o here_o be_v his_o comfort_n i_o shall_v go_v to_o he_o i._n e._n to_o glory_n the_o bare_a grave_n be_v not_o comfort_n nor_o be_v it_o to_o david_n but_o the_o glory_n beyond_o the_o grave_n be_v and_o this_o be_v that_o comfort_n which_o do_v stay_v the_o heart_n i_o shall_v go_v to_o he_o though_o god_n do_v not_o hear_v he_o for_o his_o child_n life_n yet_o i_o think_v for_o his_o child_n soul_n so_o that_o be_v another_o thing_n to_o satisfy_v any_o christian_n in_o this_o case_n i_o say_v when_o christ_n do_v not_o hear_v prayer_n to_o restore_v a_o child_n to_o life_n and_o health_n yet_o in_o this_o case_n in_o particular_a go_v to_o the_o lord_n jesus_n you_o may_v go_v and_o you_o may_v prevail_v for_o corporal_a kindness_n for_o they_o and_o if_o not_o for_o their_o body_n who_o can_v tell_v but_o you_o may_v for_o their_o soul_n then_o i_o beseech_v you_o all_o in_o the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n phil._n 4.6_o compare_v with_o verse_n 19_o be_v careful_a for_o nothing_o but_o in_o every_o thing_n by_o prayer_n and_o supplication_n with_o thanksgiving_n let_v your_o request_n be_v make_v know_v unto_o god_n my_o god_n shall_v supply_v all_o your_o need_n according_a to_o his_o riches_n in_o glory_n by_o christ_n jesus_n whatever_o your_o condition_n be_v be_v not_o over_o careful_a go_v to_o the_o lord_n jesus_n and_o he_o will_v supply_v all_o thy_o want_n he_o will_v give_v a_o pardon_n to_o thy_o soul_n and_o a_o plaster_n to_o thy_o body_n and_o to_o thy_o child_n body_n too_o you_o may_v go_v to_o jesus_n christ_n for_o what_o you_o will_v in_o a_o way_n of_o believe_a and_o to_o be_v sure_a you_o shall_v always_o prevail_v in_o spiritual_n and_o sometime_o in_o corporal_n but_o there_o be_v two_o question_n that_o we_o must_v answer_v first_o but_o in_o what_o case_n may_v it_o be_v lawful_a to_o put_v prayer_n and_o faith_n a_o work_n in_o go_v to_o christ_n for_o corporal_a kindness_n second_o when_o may_v we_o hope_v that_o we_o may_v prevail_v with_o christ_n for_o corporal_a kindness_n first_o in_o what_o case_n may_v we_o go_v to_o the_o lord_n jesus_n and_o set_v prayer_n and_o faith_n on_o work_n for_o corporal_a kindness_n it_o be_v a_o case_n of_o conscience_n which_o be_v not_o oftentimes_o touch_v upon_o three_o thing_n i_o shall_v tell_v you_o to_o regulate_v you_o and_o then_o in_o any_o case_n you_o may_v go_v to_o christ_n and_o act_v faith_n for_o corporal_a mercy_n first_o when_o the_o thing_n be_v lawful_a that_o you_o ask_v there_o be_v many_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o we_o to_o ask_v like_o nero_n mother_n ask_v and_o say_v i_o will_v have_v my_o son_n king_n though_o i_o die_v for_o it_o you_o may_v not_o beg_v of_o the_o lord_n that_o your_o child_n may_v be_v thus_o great_a or_o thus_o honourable_a but_o you_o may_v beg_v of_o the_o lord_n life_n and_o health_n creature_n accommodation_n so_o far_o as_o necessary_a these_o thing_n you_o may_v beg_v and_o go_v to_o christ_n for_o second_o you_o must_v look_v that_o your_o spirit_n be_v not_o inordinate_o set_v upon_o the_o thing_n when_o ever_o thou_o find_v thy_o heart_n inordinate_o set_v upon_o any_o thing_n then_o do_v not_o pray_v for_o it_o and_o then_o three_o when_o you_o can_v appeal_v to_o jesus_n christ_n that_o the_o end_n for_o which_o you_o beg_v a_o corporal_a kindness_n it_o be_v for_o his_o glory_n than_o you_o may_v beg_v it_o as_o david_n there_o in_o psa_n 119.17_o deal_v bountiful_o with_o thy_o servant_n that_o i_o may_v live_v and_o keep_v thy_o word_n you_o may_v go_v and_o say_v lord_n jesus_n let_v my_o child_n live_v for_o what_o end_n that_o he_o may_v be_v a_o great_a man_n a_o rich_a man_n etc._n etc._n no_o the_o lord_n will_v abhor_v it_o but_o that_o my_o child_n may_v live_v to_o serve_v the_o lord_n if_o that_o be_v your_o end_n you_o may_v pray_v for_o it_o and_o then_o quest_n 2._o but_o you_o will_v say_v when_o shall_v i_o know_v or_o may_v i_o guess_v that_o i_o shall_v prevail_v with_o christ_n what_o be_v the_o sign_n of_o the_o time_n and_o season_n when_o i_o may_v hope_v i_o shall_v prevail_v with_o christ_n for_o mercy_n &_o c_o answ_n i_o answer_v when_o the_o frame_n of_o your_o spirit_n be_v as_o the_o frame_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o woman_n of_o canaan_n i_o pray_v mark_v it_o a_o little_a what_o the_o frame_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o this_o woman_n be_v take_v it_o in_o some_o particular_n i_o will_v name_v only_o two_o viz._n first_o she_o have_v this_o frame_n of_o spirit_n that_o though_o she_o mention_v her_o child_n case_n yet_o she_o seem_v to_o mind_v she_o own_o soul_n most_o and_o second_o she_o have_v this_o as_o the_o frame_n of_o her_o spirit_n to_o believe_v for_o both_o now_o to_o urge_v it_o in_o a_o few_o word_n to_o you_o the_o first_o frame_n of_o her_o spirit_n be_v that_o though_o she_o do_v beg_v this_o mercy_n for_o her_o child_n yet_o the_o frame_n of_o her_o spirit_n be_v principal_o set_v upon_o her_o soul_n this_o poor_a woman_n do_v desire_v her_o daughter_n life_n but_o however_o lord_n bread_n for_o my_o poor_a soul_n oh_o sir_n when_o you_o can_v go_v to_o god_n and_o say_v lord_n i_o will_v have_v such_o a_o corpotal_a mercy_n but_o however_o lord_n soul-mercy_n when_o you_o can_v desire_v a_o sick_a child_n may_v be_v make_v well_o but_o especial_o a_o evil_a heart_n mend_v when_o your_o soul_n be_v set_v most_o upon_o your_o soul_n and_o its_o concernment_n then_o be_v you_o in_o a_o good_a frame_n second_o this_o woman_n be_v raise_v up_o to_o measure_n of_o faith_n indeed_o some_o great_a and_o considerate_a divine_n do_v think_v that_o that_o text_n of_o james_n 5._o where_o it_o be_v say_v the_o prayer_n of_o faith_n shall_v save_v the_o sick_a be_v to_o be_v understand_v in_o reference_n to_o a_o particular_a faith_n and_o my_o belove_a howsoever_o yet_o let_v i_o tell_v you_o it_o be_v not_o always_o necessary_a we_o shall_v have_v a_o particular_a persuasion_n yet_o when_o the_o lord_n do_v intend_v to_o answer_v in_o a_o corporal_a kindness_n he_o do_v secret_o either_o out_o of_o the_o word_n or_o by_o providence_n hint_n some_o word_n that_o may_v bring_v the_o soul_n to_o a_o believe_a frame_n something_o be_v present_v to_o we_o which_o raise_v up_o a_o faith_n in_o we_o so_o that_o when_o we_o be_v in_o such_o a_o frame_n of_o heart_n as_o to_o mind_v spiritual_a thing_n most_o and_o yet_o to_o believe_v that_o in_o a_o temporal_a thing_n god_n will_v gratify_v we_o then_o may_v we_o expect_v that_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v ashamed_a of_o our_o faith_n and_o that_o we_o shall_v have_v the_o particular_a corporal_a mercy_n grant_v to_o we_o but_o to_o end_v this_o be_v that_o i_o will_v press_v upon_o the_o whole_a as_o ever_o you_o will_v have_v mercy_n for_o body_n and_o soul_n go_v to_o jesus_n christ_n but_o now_o there_o be_v some_o general_a word_n that_o i_o will_v draw_v from_o the_o whole_a story_n we_o have_v now_o dispatch_v this_o whole_a discourse_n of_o the_o woman_n of_o canaan_n what_o be_v there_o that_o be_v upon_o my_o spirit_n to_o beg_v of_o the_o lord_n for_o you_o and_o for_o my_o own_o soul_n but_o this_o that_o this_o story_n may_v be_v always_o a_o good_a story_n to_o we_o first_o of_o all_o therefore_o i_o say_v look_v about_o you_o that_o the_o story_n of_o the_o woman_n of_o canaan_n may_v not_o be_v a_o sad_a story_n to_o any_o be_v there_o any_o such_o as_o may_v have_v cause_n to_o fear_v that_o you_o will_v say_v yes_o man_n or_o woman_n
