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 peter_n say_v 1._o be_v much_o more_o precious_a than_o gold_n which_o be_v try_v in_o the_o fire_n &_o yet_o perish_v shall_v be_v find_v to_o our_o praise_n honour_n and_o glory_n at_o the_o 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 such_o a_o noble_a champion_n be_v this_o simple_a woman_n that_o by_o faith_n contend_v even_o with_o christ_n himself_o and_o in_o the_o end_n obtain_v the_o victory_n declare_v thereby_o that_o although_o she_o be_v a_o curse_a cananite_n according_a to_o the_o flesh_n yet_o she_o be_v a_o true_a israelite_n by_o faith_n which_o prevail_v even_o with_o god_n himself_o such_o and_o so_o 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 spirit_n to_o her_o mind_n it_o follow_v now_o in_o the_o text_n that_o his_o disciple_n come_v unto_o he_o and_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 reveil_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 than_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 a_o other_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 and_o not_o to_o presume_v to_o give_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 and_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 apostle_n request_v to_o have_v this_o woman_n dispatch_v but_o alas_o with_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 spoaksman_n but_o cry_v unto_o the_o master_n himself_o o_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

commandment_n of_o god_n and_o so_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v always_o that_o they_o which_o be_v most_o earnest_a in_o uphold_v and_o defend_v tradition_n and_o ceremony_n invent_v by_o man_n be_v most_o forgetful_a in_o keep_v the_o commandment_n of_o god_n but_o this_o be_v the_o just_a judgement_n of_o god_n against_o those_o that_o invent_v a_o new_a worship_n of_o their_o own_o brain_n that_o first_o they_o lose_v their_o labour_n that_o so_o seek_v to_o please_v god_n and_o second_o that_o they_o be_v deprive_v of_o all_o right_a understanding_n because_o they_o have_v presume_v to_o be_v wise_a than_o god_n and_o therefore_o our_o saviour_n christ_n confute_v they_o by_o the_o testimony_n of_o isaiah_n 29._o where_o god_n complain_v that_o the_o hypocritical_a people_n come_v near_o unto_o he_o with_o their_o mouth_n and_o honour_v he_o with_o their_o lip_n but_o their_o heart_n be_v far_o from_o he_o and_o in_o vain_a do_v they_o worship_v i_o say_v god_n while_o they_o teach_v doctrine_n that_o be_v the_o precept_n of_o man_n therefore_o i_o will_v again_o do_v a_o marvelous_a work_n in_o this_o people_n even_o a_o marvelous_a work_n and_o a_o wonder_n for_o the_o wisdom_n of_o their_o wiseman_n shall_v perish_v and_o the_o understanding_n of_o the_o prudent_a man_n shall_v be_v hide_v and_o as_o the_o same_o prophet_n threaten_v in_o another_o place_n 6._o their_o eye_n shall_v be_v blind_v that_o they_o shall_v not_o see_v their_o ear_n stop_v that_o they_o shall_v not_o hear_v their_o heart_n make_v gross_a that_o they_o shall_v not_o understand_v lest_o they_o see_v with_o their_o eye_n and_o understand_v with_o their_o heart_n and_o be_v convert_v and_o god_n shall_v heal_v they_o this_o get_v the_o high_a priest_n scribes_z and_o pharisiee_n by_o multiply_v their_o ceremony_n 17._o and_o namely_o ablution_n and_o wash_n it_o be_v true_a that_o god_n in_o the_o law_n command_v diverse_a ablution_n and_o wash_n which_o do_v rather_o testify_v their_o uncleanness_n then_o purge_v away_o their_o filthiness_n but_o they_o have_v add_v many_o other_o as_o wash_v of_o cup_n and_o cruise_n dish_n and_o platter_n brazen_a vessel_n and_o table_n and_o often_o wash_v of_o their_o hand_n before_o they_o do_v eat_v and_o especial_o if_o they_o have_v come_v from_o the_o market_n 7._o they_o may_v not_o eat_v before_o they_o have_v wash_v their_o hand_n which_o thing_n they_o observe_v not_o as_o civil_a custom_n pertain_v to_o bodily_a cleanliness_n but_o as_o religious_a ceremony_n belong_v to_o inward_a holiness_n and_o therefore_o our_o saviour_n christ_n do_v so_o sharp_o reprove_v they_o and_o lest_o the_o simple_a mind_n of_o his_o disciple_n and_o other_o the_o good_a tractable_a people_n shall_v have_v any_o more_o scruple_n of_o conscience_n in_o such_o vain_a outward_a observation_n he_o declare_v that_o true_a holiness_n consist_v in_o no_o such_o matter_n for_o that_o which_o

but_o those_o thing_n that_o come_v out_o of_o the_o mouth_n as_o evil_a device_n whordom_n adultery_n murder_n theft_n slander_n false-witnesse_n bear_v blasphemy_n &_o such_o other_o they_o come_v from_o the_o hart_n &_o soul_n of_o man_n &_o therefore_o they_o pollute_v a_o man_n indeed_o wherefore_o when_o the_o proud_a &_o disdainful_a scribe_n and_o pharisy_n be_v offend_v with_o his_o word_n he_o will_v his_o disciple_n to_o let_v they_o alone_o as_o blind_a guide_n of_o the_o blind_a and_o he_o himself_o depart_v from_o they_o into_o the_o coast_n of_o tyre_n and_o sydon_n his_o
