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 heavenly_a schoolmaster_n but_o what_o remedy_n find_v the_o rich_a man_n by_o pray_v to_o abraham_n that_o we_o may_v be_v encourage_v by_o his_o example_n to_o pray_v to_o saint_n he_o make_v two_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 provoke_v we_o most_o earnest_o to_o pray_v both_o that_o we_o may_v know_v of_o who_o we_o have_v receive_v a_o benefit_n &_o that_o we_o may_v the_o more_o esteem_v it_o when_o we_o have_v it_o &_o 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 god_n in_o great_a wisdom_n prolong_v some_o time_n the_o performance_n of_o his_o promise_a benefit_n that_o man_n may_v acknowledge_v of_o who_o they_o obtain_v they_o worthy_o esteem_v they_o thankful_o receive_v they_o and_o profitable_o employ_v they_o but_o now_o let_v we_o see_v what_o answer_n our_o saviour_n christ_n make_v to_o the_o request_n of_o his_o disciple_n i_o be_o not_o send_v say_v he_o but_o unto_o the_o lose_a sheep_n of_o the_o house_n of_o israel_n a_o uncomfor_n table_n answer_v doubtless_o to_o the_o poor_a woman_n whereby_o he_o pronounce_v that_o he_o have_v no_o commission_n of_o god_n to_o do_v any_o thing_n for_o she_o in_o asmuch_o as_o his_o vocation_n extend_v only_o to_o the_o israelite_n be_v promise_v for_o unto_o they_o all_o it_o be_v first_o offer_v which_o because_o it_o be_v of_o they_o refuse_v it_o be_v afterwárd_o make_v common_a unto_o the_o gentile_n for_o our_o saviour_n christ_n acknowledge_v a_o little_a before_o his_o passion_n that_o he_o have_v other_o sheep_n which_o be_v not_o of_o the_o jewish_a fold_n who_o he_o must_v bring_v home_o that_o there_o may_v be_v one_o 10._o tell_v as_o there_o be_v but_o one_o pastor_n and_o in_o that_o most_o earnest_a and_o hearty_a prayer_n which_o he_o make_v immediate_o before_o his_o death_n wherein_o he_o commend_v to_o god_n the_o preservation_n of_o his_o disciple_n who_o he_o send_v to_o convert_v the_o whole_a world_n he_o pray_v general_o for_o his_o whole_a church_n collect_v both_o of_o the_o jew_n and_o the_o gentile_n say_v i_o pray_v not_o only_o for_o these_o 17._o but_o for_o all_o they_o that_o shall_v belevein_v i_o through_o their_o preach_n that_o they_o all_o may_v be_v one_o even_o as_o thou_o father_n be_v in_o i_o and_o i_o in_o thou_o that_o they_o also_o may_v be_v one_o in_o we_o that_o the_o world_n may_v know_v that_o thou_o have_v send_v i_o so_o that_o the_o israelite_n have_v now_o no_o privilege_n nor_o prerogative_n above_o the_o gentile_n for_o in_o christ_n jesus_n there_o be_v neither_o jew_n nor_o gentile_a for_o christ_n be_v now_o as_o common_a unto_o the_o gentile_n as_o before_o 3_n he_o be_v proper_a unto_o the_o jew_n then_o sing_v we_o be_v graft_v into_o the_o body_n of_o israel_n this_o say_v ing_o be_v as_o comfortable_a to_o we_o as_o it_o be_v uncomfortable_a
