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 whereas_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 and_o amen_o in_o christ_n and_o be_v steadfast_a and_o establish_v in_o christ_n only_o when_o she_o hear_v by_o christ_n own_o mouth_n 2_o 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 whatsoever_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 persuade_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 death_n to_o life_n to_o fulfil_v his_o promise_n and_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_n 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 faith_n lord_n help_v i_o all_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 28._o and_o i_o be_o one_o of_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 howsoever_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 and_o as_o for_o all_o the_o creature_n of_o the_o world_n beside_o if_o they_o shall_v oppose_v and_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 that_o neither_o death_n nor_o life_n 8._o 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 nether_a 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 and_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 mean_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 performance_n and_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 this_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 cleave_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 a_o way_n 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 and_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 &_o set_v forth_o unto_o us._n therefore_o the_o anchor_n of_o our_o faith_n have_v two_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 swear_v and_o as_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o god_n shall_v lie_v or_o be_v forswear_a 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_n 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 and_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 see_v god_n have_v say_v whosoever_o call_v upon_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n shall_v be_v save_v 2._o 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_a 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 forasmuch_o as_o christ_n have_v say_v whosoever_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 guiltiness_n of_o my_o sin_n 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 to_o they_o that_o be_v in_o chrst_n jesu_n 8._o for_o whatsoever_o can_v be_v object_v out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n howsoever_o contrary_v 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 indeed_o direct_o contrary_a to_o these_o and_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_n they_o that_o be_v christ_n have_v crusify_v the_o flesh_n with_o the_o lust_n
