to_o this_o poor_a woman_n for_o christ_n can_v now_o make_v no_o more_o excuse_n by_o his_o vocation_n for_o we_o be_v all_o the_o israel_n of_o god_n though_o sometime_o we_o be_v gentile_n now_o we_o be_v citizen_n with_o the_o saint_n &_o of_o the_o household_n of_o god_n though_o sometime_o we_o be_v stranger_n from_o the_o commonwealth_n of_o israel_n &_o foreigner_n from_o the_o covenant_n of_o promise_n but_o this_o especial_o be_v worthy_a to_o be_v consider_v y_fw-fr christ_n call_v they_o the_o lose_a sheep_n unto_o who_o he_o be_v send_v in_o which_o say_n we_o have_v two_o thing_n to_o be_v observe_v first_o that_o we_o must_v acknowledge_v that_o we_o be_v all_o lose_v or_o else_o christ_n have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o we_o we_o must_v every_o one_o confess_v with_o the_o psalmist_n that_o i_o have_v wander_v like_o a_o lose_a sheep_n oh_o seek_v thou_o thy_o servant_n they_o therefore_o that_o be_v proud_a in_o opinion_n of_o their_o own_o good_a work_n &_o think_v to_o be_v save_v by_o their_o desert_n be_v not_o for_o christ_n to_o meddle_v with_o all_o for_o he_o be_v send_v but_o unto_o the_o lose_a sheep_n of_o the_o house_n of_o israel_n or_o as_o he_o say_v unto_o the_o pharisee_n the_o whole_a have_v no_o need_n of_o the_o physician_n but_o the_o sick_a first_o therefore_o we_o must_v acknowledge_v that_o we_o be_v altogether_o cast_v away_o &_o that_o we_o have_v no_o more_o wit_n nor_o power_n to_o return_v or_o save_v ourselves_o then_o have_v a_o sheep_n that_o be_v wander_v in_o the_o wilderness_n among_o the_o wolf_n bear_n &_o lion_n second_o if_o we_o confess_v &_o find_v ourselves_o to_o be_v such_o then_o be_v we_o here_o comfort_v that_o christ_n be_v proper_o appoint_v of_o god_n to_o save_v the_o lose_a sheep_n of_o the_o house_n of_o israel_n like_a as_o he_o say_v in_o another_o place_n the_o son_n of_o man_n be_v come_v to_o sane_a that_o which_o be_v lose_v and_o in_o s._n 18._o luke_n gospel_n concern_v the_o conversion_n of_o zacheus_n the_o son_n of_o man_n be_v come_v to_o seek_v and_o to_o save_v that_o which_o be_v lose_v therefore_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v no_o discomfort_n unto_o we_o to_o confess_v that_o we_o be_v utter_o lose_v see_v thereby_o we_o be_v assure_v that_o we_o appertain_v unto_o christ_n who_o come_v of_o purpose_n to_o seek_v &_o to_o save_v that_o which_o be_v lose_v oh_o the_o wonderful_a wisdom_n power_n and_o mercy_n of_o god_n show_v we_o in_o christ_n that_o even_o then_o when_o we_o feel_v ourselves_o lose_v we_o be_v find_v when_o we_o see_v ourselves_o destroy_v we_o be_v save_v when_o we_o hear_v ourselves_o condemn_v we_o be_v justify_v only_o in_o believe_v these_o word_n the_o son_n of_o man_n be_v come_v to_o save_v that_o which_o be_v lose_v let_v we_o therefore_o with_o invincible_a courage_n of_o faith_n take_v hold_v of_o these_o general_a promise_n of_o god_n and_o apply_v they_o un_fw-fr to_o ourselves_o as_o this_o poor_a woman_n do_v &_o we_o shall_v find_v it_o to_o be_v true_a which_o our_o saviour_n christ_n say_v unto_o we_o there_o be_v nothing_o impossible_a 11._o unto_o he_o that_o believe_v let_v we_o now_o consider_v the_o weight_n of_o this_o temptation_n how_o heavy_a it_o be_v for_o the_o woman_n to_o bear_v this_o answer_n that_o where_o as_o the_o do_v repose_v her_o whole_a confidence_n in_o he_o he_o affirm_v that_o he_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o she_o because_o he_o be_v not_o send_v but_o unto_o the_o lose_v sheep_n of_o the_o house_n of_o israel_n of_o all_o other_o temptation_n it_o be_v the_o sore_a when_o the_o word_n of_o god_n seem_v to_o be_v contrary_a to_o our_o hope_n as_o when_o god_n command_v abraham_n to_o kill_v his_o son_n isaac_n in_o who_o 2d_o his_o hope_n be_v that_o the_o promise_n shall_v be_v fulfil_v as_o god_n himself_o have_v say_v in_o isaac_n shall_v 17._o thy_o seed_n be_v call_v and_o my_o covenant_n will_v i_o establish_v with_o isaac_n after_o the_o same_o manner_n it_o be_v here_o with_o this_o poor_a cananite_n for_o even_o by_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n in_o who_o she_o trust_v for_o grace_n according_a to_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n concern_v he_o she_o be_v exclude_v from_o grace_n because_o she_o be_v a_o gentile_a and_o none_o of_o the_o lose_a sheep_n of_o the_o house_n of_o israel_n to_o who_o only_o and_o not_o to_o the_o gentile_n at_o that_o time_n he_o be_v send_v to_o offer_v grace_n what_o can_v be_v say_v more_o to_o discourage_v she_o then_o to_o tell_v she_o that_o the_o promise_a redemption_n pertain_v not_o unto_o she_o again_o who_o can_v have_v be_v choose_v out_o of_o all_o the_o world_n to_o put_v she_o so_o much_o out_o of_o comfort_n as_o christ_n himself_o for_o if_o a_o angel_n or_o a_o archangel_n have_v come_v from_o heaven_n &_o tell_v she_o that_o christ_n will_v not_o accept_v her_o petition_n &_o bestow_v his_o grace_n upon_o she_o she_o may_v easy_o have_v riect_v he_o because_o her_o faith_n be_v ground_v upon_o the_o word_n of_o god_n against_o which_o if_o any_o angel_n shall_v speak_v we_o may_v hold_v he_o accurse_v but_o when_o the_o son_n of_o god_n himself_o even_o the_o promise_a messiah_n in_o his_o own_o person_n and_o by_o his_o own_o word_n which_o be_v the_o same_o truth_n in_o which_o the_o oracle_n of_o the_o prophet_n be_v deliver_v when_o he_o himself_o refuse_v her_o request_n &_o deny_v his_o grace_n to_o she_o how_o can_v she_o retain_v any_o hope_n but_o that_o her_o faith_n be_v quite_o over_o come_v &_o all_o comfort_n take_v away_o from_o she_o and_o yet_o so_o mighty_a and_o strong_a be_v the_o fortress_n of_o her_o faith_n that_o this_o most_o bitter_a assault_n prevail_v not_o to_o overthrow_v it_o for_o as_o though_o she_o have_v feel_v no_o discomfort_n at_o all_o by_o this_o his_o answer_n she_o approach_v never_o un_fw-fr to_o he_o &_o fall_v down_o before_o he_o she_o continue_v her_o humble_a suit_n say_v lord_n help_v i_o and_o here_o we_o may_v see_v how_o much_o true_a faith_n differ_v from_o proud_a presumption_n yea_o we_o may_v plain_o perceive_v that_o true_a faith_n be_v always_o join_v with_o great_a humility_n the_o papist_n call_v the_o assure_a confidence_n in_o god_n mercy_n by_o the_o odious_a name_n of_o presumption_n but_o rather_o we_o may_v just_o call_v that_o proud_a persuasion_n that_o they_o have_v of_o their_o own_o merit_n and_o desert_n by_o the_o right_a name_n of_o presumption_n for_o who_o so_o trust_v most_o in_o god_n have_v least_o opinion_n of_o his_o own_o worthiness_n as_o we_o may_v plain_o see_v in_o this_o example_n of_o the_o cananitish_a woman_n who_o as_o she_o have_v most_o certain_a persuasion_n &_o assurance_n of_o help_n in_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n so_o have_v she_o no_o presumption_n at_o all_o in_o she_o own_o worthiness_n and_o that_o she_o declare_v plain_o by_o her_o humble_a submission_n therefore_o she_o fall_v down_o at_o his_o foot_n most_o low_o beseech_v he_o to_o be_v good_a unto_o she_o &_o to_o succour_v she_o whereby_o she_o testify_v that_o she_o require_v nothing_o of_o duty_n in_o respect_n of_o she_o own_o worthiness_n but_o only_o of_o favour_n &_o mercy_n in_o respect_n of_o god_n promise_n woe_n be_v therefore_o unto_o the_o papist_n that_o call_v true_a humility_n presumption_n &_o contrari_fw-la wise_a pride_n they_o term_v humility_n but_o here_o we_o may_v well_o doubt_v how_o the_o faith_n of_o this_o woman_n shall_v be_v so_o high_o commend_v when_o it_o seem_v to_o presume_v against_o the_o word_n of_o god_n where_o as_o true_a faith_n be_v always_o ground_v upon_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o second_o see_v all_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n be_v yea_o &_o amen_o in_o christ_n and_o be_v steadfast_a &_o establish_v in_o christ_n only_o when_o she_o hear_v by_o christ_n own_o mouth_n that_o the_o promise_a redemption_n pertain_v not_o to_o she_o how_o can_v she_o continue_v her_o confidence_n in_o he_o i_o answer_v that_o first_o her_o faith_n be_v ground_v upon_o the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o because_o she_o know_v most_o certain_o to_o be_v a_o undoubted_a truth_n she_o will_v not_o be_v bring_v from_o that_o by_o any_o thing_n that_o may_v seem_v contrary_a unto_o it_o and_o what_o so_o ever_o she_o hear_v of_o christ_n although_o she_o do_v acknowledge_v it_o to_o be_v true_a yet_o she_o be_v per_fw-la swade_v that_o it_o be_v so_o true_a that_o it_o take_v not_o away_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n former_a promise_n and_o see_v god_n general_a promise_n do_v appertain_v to_o she_o that_o do_v believe_v they_o she_o retain_v hope_n against_o all_o hope_n and_o as_o abraham_n believe_v that_o god_n will_v raise_v up_o isaac_n from_o
