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 door_n mind_v it_o then_o will_v you_o have_v a_o pardon_n and_o do_v christ_n seem_v to_o deny_v you_o where_o can_v you_o go_v for_o it_o but_o to_o he_o and_o when_o you_o come_v if_o you_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

be_v a_o pattern_n and_o it_o be_v upon_o a_o general_a account_n there_o be_v only_o two_o word_n of_o application_n i_o shall_v make_v at_o present_a first_o i_o will_v gather_v one_o terrible_a

will_v comfort_v a_o son_n or_o daughter_n of_o abraham_n i_o will_v not_o strengthen_v the_o hand_n of_o any_o in_o sin_n well_o then_o sinner_n hear_v and_o fear_v look_v about_o you_o as_o i_o

the_o justice_n and_o wrath_n of_o christ_n will_n as_o it_o be_v engage_v christ_n to_o be_v dreadful_a to_o rebel_n and_o impenitent_a one_o at_o last_o husband_n thy_o wife_n come_v to_o christ_n

be_v a_o sad_a example_n of_o this_o terrible_a consequence_n that_o i_o be_o upon_o the_o poor_a canaanites_n that_o christ_n deal_v so_o severe_o withal_o all_o the_o prophecy_n of_o the_o messiah_n

of_o this_o more_o in_o the_o next_o reasins_z why_o we_o ought_v still_o to_o carry_v it_o well_o to_o christ_n the_o five_o sermon_n matthew_z 15.25_o and_o 27._o verse_n then_o come_v she_o and_o

and_o yet_o my_o brethren_n this_o be_v a_o case_n that_o sometime_o have_v befall_v many_o and_o may_v befall_v we_o we_o have_v a_o notable_a instance_n of_o it_o before_o we_o in_o this_o story_n of_o the_o woman_n of_o canaan_n there_o be_v four_o thing_n i_o tell_v you_o that_o we_o will_v principal_o speak_v unto_o in_o the_o handle_n of_o this_o story_n the_o first_o be_v the_o come_v of_o

unusual_a delay_n three_o now_o we_o be_v consider_v the_o carriage_n of_o this_o woman_n under_o this_o strange_a and_o rough_a entertainment_n that_o she_o receive_v from_o christ_n the_o point_n be_v of_o concernment_n for_o we_o to_o consider_v that_o whensoever_o it_o will_v befall_v any_o of_o we_o upon_o any_o account_n we_o may_v know_v how_o to_o carry_v ourselves_o as_o she_o have_v do_v in_o these_o two_o verse_n we_o have_v her_o carriage_n and_o after_o we_o have_v open_v that_o we_o gather_v up_o all_o into_o this_o one_o observation_n viz._n doct._n that_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n the_o wisdom_n the_o glory_n of_o a_o christian_a to_o carry_v it_o unto_o christ_n very_o holy_o when_o he_o seem_v to_o carry_v it_o to_o the_o soul_n very_o harsh_o or_o short_o thus_o we_o must_v carry_v it_o real_o well_o when_o christ_n carry_v it_o seem_o ill_n there_o be_v but_o two_o principal_a thing_n which_o i_o say_v be_v necessary_a to_o be_v handle_v in_o the_o explication_n of_o the_o point_n the_o first_o be_v what_o this_o good_a carriage_n be_v wherein_o this_o holy_a and_o bless_a behaviour_n to_o jesus_n christ_n do_v lie_v and_o second_o upon_o what_o account_n it_o be_v our_o duty_n and_o glory_n to_o have_v this_o carriage_n now_o for_o the_o open_n of_o both_o of_o these_o i_o do_v only_o confine_v myself_o to_o the_o example_n in_o hand_n to_o see_v how_o the_o woman_n carry_v it_o and_o to_o see_v from_o she_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o do_v prevail_v with_o she_o to_o carry_v it_o thus_o to_o christ_n here_o be_v six_o thing_n wherein_o this_o good_a thing_n viz._n this_o good_a carriage_n of_o this_o good_a woman_n appear_v first_o though_o the_o lord_n deal_v rough_o with_o she_o she_o keep_v up_o honourable_a thought_n of_o he_o second_o we_o show_v she_o do_v not_o sudden_o nor_o sullen_o go_v away_o but_o still_o she_o cry_v after_o he_o and_o three_o she_o speak_v to_o christ_n as_o profess_v her_o only_a hope_n in_o his_o help_n four_o she_o deny_v nothing_o that_o christ_n speak_v against_o she_o christ_n seem_v to_o say_v to_o she_o first_o that_o she_o be_v a_o dog_n and_o then_o second_o that_o she_o shall_v have_v nothing_o truth_n lord_n say_v she_o five_o she_o do_v gather_v upon_o jesus_n christ_n and_o by_o that_o very_a hand_n which_o he_o thrust_v she_o off_o she_o gather_v hope_n last_o she_o be_v content_a to_o have_v a_o little_a in_o the_o low_a manner_n when_o she_o may_v not_o have_v she_o first_o and_o great_a request_n in_o the_o high_a manner_n we_o do_v the_o last_o day_n open_v these_o more_o large_o but_o now_o whence_o be_v it_o that_o we_o must_v have_v and_o labour_n for_o this_o good_a carriage_n or_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n we_o shall_v carry_v it_o thus_o holy_o to_o christ_n though_o he_o seem_v to_o carry_v it_o rough_o to_o we_o i_o refer_v the_o reason_n of_o it_o to_o three_o head_n i_o tell_v you_o if_o we_o do_v consider_v either_o jesus_n christ_n or_o ourselves_o or_o the_o errand_n upon_o which_o we_o come_v to_o he_o at_o any_o time_n we_o shall_v see_v great_a reason_n to_o carry_v it_o well_o to_o christ_n howsoever_o he_o may_v seem_v to_o carry_v it_o ill_o to_o we_o and_o all_o these_o three_o consideration_n we_o have_v here_o in_o the_o woman_n first_o consider_v who_o jesus_n christ_n be_v when_o you_o go_v to_o he_o why_o true_o my_o brethren_n he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o david_n and_o our_o lord_n because_o he_o be_v our_o lord_n therefore_o we_o must_v worship_v he_o it_o be_v because_o master_n be_v master_n therefore_o servant_n must_v carry_v it_o well_o we_o do_v open_a that_o and_o therefore_o shall_v not_o repeat_v it_o now_o but_o second_o consider_v we_o ourselves_o who_o we_o be_v that_o go_v to_o jesus_n christ_n and_o my_o brethren_n you_o will_v see_v that_o such_o as_o we_o be_v come_v to_o christ_n shall_v carry_v it_o very_o well_o to_o he_o though_o he_o shall_v seem_v to_o carry_v it_o ill_o to_o we_o alas_o what_o be_v this_o woman_n certain_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v help_v she_o to_o look_v within_o to_o see_v herself_o as_o she_o be_v viz._n a_o poor_a woman_n a_o woman_n of_o canaan_n of_o tyre_n and_o sidon_n a_o woman_n that_o be_v a_o dog_n by_o nature_n such_o a_o woman_n have_v need_v to_o carry_v it_o holy_o when_o she_o come_v to_o christ_n and_o my_o brethren_n if_o you_o look_v upon_o your_o heart_n as_o she_o be_v so_o be_v we_o you_o will_v see_v all_o the_o reason_n in_o the_o world_n to_o carry_v it_o holy_o and_o humble_o to_o jesus_n christ_n though_o he_o shall_v carry_v it_o seem_o harsh_a to_o you_o first_o my_o brethren_n we_o be_v poor_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

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

come_v into_o the_o world_n he_o come_v not_o only_o as_o our_o saviour_n but_o as_o his_o father_n servant_n and_o this_o have_v a_o influence_n upon_o the_o heart_n and_o upon_o the_o hand_n of_o christ_n in_o all_o his_o carriage_n to_o we_o this_o i._n e._n that_o he_o come_v as_o the_o father_n servant_n and_o because_o god_n the_o father_n will_v have_v he_o do_v thus_o and_o thus_o therefore_o to_o be_v certain_a he_o will_v do_v it_o as_o for_o instance_n do_v jesus_n christ_n come_v into_o the_o world_n to_o die_v for_o sinner_n what_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o it_o because_o god_n the_o father_n have_v give_v he_o in_o commission_n so_o to_o do_v so_o will_v not_o christ_n break_v the_o bruise_a reed_n nor_o quench_v the_o smoke_a flax_n as_o it_o be_v prophesy_v he_o will_v not_o isa_n 42_o why_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n because_o he_o be_v his_o father_n servant_n as_o it_o be_v there_o vers_n 1._o and_o god_n have_v charge_v he_o that_o he_o shall_v not_o

the_o will_n of_o he_o that_o send_v he_o this_o be_v particular_o the_o reason_n in_o john_n 6.37_o 38._o ah_o scripture_n that_o you_o may_v look_v upon_o as_o the_o foundation_n of_o your_o faith_n

christ_n for_o his_o kindness_n i_o pray_v look_v to_o god_n the_o father_n likewise_o and_o this_o will_v further_o strengthen_v your_o faith_n the_o poor_a soul_n be_v ready_a to_o say_v why_o shall_v jesus_n christ_n receive_v i_o why_o shall_v jesus_n christ_n carry_v it_o kind_o to_o i_o what_o be_v there_o in_o i_o nothing_o but_o there_o be_v another_o ground_n there_o be_v the_o

the_o commission_n that_o be_v give_v to_o christ_n it_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o this_o whole_a carriage_n of_o christ_n but_o here_o be_v the_o commission_n christ_n he_o shall_v not_o give_v

second_o the_o innate_a kindness_n and_o tenderness_n of_o the_o heart_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o reason_n of_o this_o truth_n that_o he_o will_v deal_v well_o at_o last_o though_o he_o seem_v to_o

how_o be_v that_o answ_n i_o have_v not_o that_o grace_n as_o she_o have_v i_o have_v not_o her_o prayer_n her_o humility_n i_o never_o worship_v the_o lord_n as_o the_o woman_n of_o canaan_n do_v i_o

to_o be_v as_o humble_a as_o she_o be_v but_o yet_o i_o tell_v you_o in_o the_o second_o place_n it_o be_v not_o the_o woman_n of_o canaan_n be_v humility_n nor_o her_o patience_n nor_o her_o prayer_n not_o the_o worship_v but_o the_o woman_n of_o canaan_n be_v faith_n upon_o which_o the_o lord_n do_v all_o and_o i_o take_v it_o to_o be_v a_o undeniable_a truth_n that_o that_o grace_n unto_o which_o all_o kindness_n be_v show_v be_v the_o grace_n of_o faith_n true_a humility_n be_v good_a and_o so_o be_v humiliation_n and_o the_o lord_n give_v we_o our_o measure_n but_o yet_o i_o say_v the_o great_a promise_n be_v not_o to_o humility_n nor_o to_o humiliation_n but_o to_o faith_n woman_n great_a be_v thy_o faith_n object_n i_o but_o then_o second_o say_v the_o soul_n but_o i_o have_v not_o the_o woman_n of_o canaan_n be_v faith_n if_o i_o have_v her_o faith_n i_o shall_v think_v the_o lord_n will_v deal_v well_o with_o i_o it_o be_v say_v the_o woman_n of_o canaan_n have_v a_o great_a faith_n but_o the_o lord_n know_v i_o have_v but_o a_o little_a answ_n i_o have_v answer_v already_o this_o and_o show_v that_o it_o be_v not_o to_o the_o measure_n of_o the_o grace_n but_o to_o the_o grace_n itself_o that_o christ_n do_v this_o therefore_o i_o say_v as_o often_o as_o you_o read_v the_o story_n of_o the_o woman_n of_o canaan_n comfort_v your_o heart_n with_o these_o

either_o upon_o the_o ground_n of_o pity_n and_o compassion_n as_o a_o man_n or_o else_o upon_o the_o ground_n of_o prophecy_n or_o promise_n for_o the_o first_o ground_n you_o have_v it_o in_o

move_v christ_n and_o therefore_o he_o heal_v they_o now_o observe_v jesus_n christ_n now_o in_o heaven_n have_v the_o same_o compassion_n that_o he_o have_v here_o on_o earth_n and_o that_o be_v found_v upon_o his_o keep_n or_o retain_v of_o his_o humane_a nature_n still_o if_o christ_n have_v not_o now_o in_o heaven_n our_o humane_a nature_n he_o will_v not_o have_v have_v this_o

heb._n 2.16_o 17._o it_o be_v say_v christ_n take_v not_o on_o he_o the_o nature_n of_o angel_n but_o he_o take_v on_o he_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n why_o so_o that_o he_o may_v be_v a_o merciful_a

of_o all_o difficulty_n in_o go_v to_o christ_n i_o will_v name_v very_o brief_o these_o two_o head_n of_o reason_n the_o first_o be_v from_o the_o appointment_n of_o faith_n by_o god_n second_o the_o

woman_n great_a be_v thy_o faith_n be_v it_o unto_o thou_o even_o as_o thou_o will_v we_o be_v now_o come_v to_o the_o last_o thing_n in_o the_o story_n of_o this_o woman_n of_o canaan_n and_o that_o be_v the_o consideration_n of_o that_o conclusion_n that_o jesus_n christ_n do_v here_o make_v with_o she_o and_o you_o may_v remember_v the_o observation_n we_o do_v draw_v forth_o the_o last_o day_n be_v this_o viz._n doct._n that_o all_o those_o who_o true_o come_v to_o christ_n shall_v in_o the_o issue_n find_v his_o carriage_n to_o be_v sweet_a and_o gracious_a however_o at_o the_o first_o it_o may_v seem_v rough_a and_o strange_a we_o do_v then_o open_a the_o point_n and_o do_v go_v a_o good_a way_n in_o the_o confirmation_n of_o it_o there_o be_v only_o two_o thing_n which_o i_o say_v

may_v carry_v it_o at_o first_o to_o poor_a soul_n second_o whence_o this_o shall_v come_v to_o pass_v now_o for_o the_o first_o of_o these_o we_o tell_v you_o we_o need_v go_v no_o further_o than_o the_o instance_n of_o the_o text._n and_o we_o do_v then_o endeavour_v to_o set_v out_o the_o kindness_n of_o jesus_n christ_n to_o the_o woman_n of_o canaan_n now_o here_o be_v many_o word_n to_o set_v it_o forth_o first_o general_o he_o answer_v and_o say_v oh_o woman_n great_a be_v thy_o faith_n second_o particular_o be_v it_o unto_o thou_o even_o as_o thou_o will_v and_o then_o three_o he_o

objection_n there_o lie_v against_o this_o instance_n which_o be_v clear_v up_o we_o will_v come_v to_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o point_n object_n 1._o the_o first_o objection_n be_v this_o but_o this_o instance_n of_o the_o woman_n of_o canaan_n seem_v to_o be_v so_o rare_a that_o it_o do_v not_o concern_v we_o to_o that_o we_o say_v two_o thing_n answ_n 1._o that_o all_o gospel-instance_n of_o grace_n i_o intend_v not_o instance_n of_o miracle_n and_o extraordinary_a favour_n be_v perpetual_a example_n for_o after_o age_n and_o answ_n 2._o this_o kindness_n of_o christ_n to_o the_o woman_n of_o canaan_n be_v not_o upon_o any_o personal_a or_o particular_a account_n but_o upon_o a_o general_a account_n namely_o her_o faith_n but_o there_o be_v another_o objection_n to_o be_v clear_v up_o and_o that_o be_v this_o object_n 2._o but_o though_o this_o example_n be_v not_o so_o particular_a as_o to_o shut_v we_o out_o yet_o second_o there_o be_v some_o thing_n in_o it_o so_o extraordinary_a and_o special_a as_o that_o we_o can_v look_v for_o the_o same_o thing_n in_o our_o case_n to_o this_o i_o shall_v say_v two_o thing_n answ_n 1._o that_o however_o some_o thing_n indeed_o here_o may_v be_v extraordinary_a and_o so_o not_o to_o be_v expect_v yet_o as_o to_o the_o main_a of_o all_o thing_n we_o may_v expect_v the_o like_a this_o be_v certain_a that_o those_o favour_n that_o god_n have_v show_v in_o any_o one_o age_n to_o any_o of_o his_o child_n though_o they_o may_v have_v some_o particular_a circumstance_n wherefore_o we_o may_v not_o expect_v the_o same_o yet_o in_o the_o general_n and_o by_o proportion_n we_o may_v expect_v the_o same_o as_o in_o the_o instance_n of_o joshua_n the_o apostle_n make_v the_o kindness_n of_o god_n to_o joshua_n a_o general_a example_n in_o heb._n 13.5_o be_v content_n with_o such_o thing_n as_o you_o have_v for_o he_o have_v say_v i_o will_v never_o leave_v thou_o nor_o forsake_v thou_o now_o we_o can_v expect_v in_o a_o particular_a way_n as_o joshua_n do_v in_o like_a manner_n the_o same_o apostle_n in_o the_o same_o place_n do_v argue_v from_o david_n in_o vers_fw-la 6._o and_o though_o we_o can_v expect_v some_o rare_a circumstance_n as_o david_n do_v yet_o as_o to_o the_o main_a we_o may_v say_v the_o lord_n be_v our_o helper_n so_o though_o possible_o we_o may_v not_o expect_v some_o particular_a circumstance_n of_o the_o kindness_n that_o this_o woman_n of_o canaan_n have_v yet_o as_o to_o the_o main_a we_o may_v be_v certain_a to_o have_v the_o like_a second_o however_o we_o may_v not_o meet_v with_o all_o the_o particular_a act_n of_o kindness_n from_o christ_n that_o this_o woman_n have_v yet_o there_o be_v usual_o these_o three_o thing_n wherein_o we_o shall_v certain_o find_v christ_n to_o deal_v sweet_o with_o we_o at_o last_o however_o he_o may_v deal_v with_o we_o at_o first_o or_o there_o be_v three_o demonstration_n wherein_o the_o lord_n will_v demonstrate_v himself_o to_o be_v kind_a to_o you_o at_o last_o however_o he_o may_v carry_v it_o at_o first_o first_o at_o last_o the_o soul_n shall_v find_v this_o that_o he_o will_v not_o absolute_o and_o peremptory_o reject_v the_o poor_a soul_n possible_o thou_o will_v not_o find_v so_o clear_a a_o entertainment_n so_o comfortable_a a_o assurance_n as_o this_o woman_n have_v i_o but_o this_o thou_o shall_v find_v that_o jesus_n christ_n will_v never_o absolute_o cast_v thou_o off_o he_o will_v never_o peremptory_o deny_v thou_o or_o cast_v thou_o off_o it_o be_v very_o remarkable_a he_o do_v not_o peremptory_o send_v the_o woman_n away_o though_o he_o do_v not_o answer_v she_o yet_o he_o do_v not_o bid_v they_o send_v she_o away_o and_o this_o thou_o shall_v find_v that_o though_o christ_n may_v not_o seem_v to_o answer_v yet_o he_o will_v not_o absolute_o deny_v though_o he_o may_v say_v it_o be_v not_o meet_v thou_o shall_v have_v mercy_n yet_o he_o will_v not_o deny_v i_fw-mi mercy_n that_o speech_n be_v a_o eternal_a truth_n in_o john_n 6.37_o he_o that_o come_v to_o i_o i_o will_v in_o no_o wise_a cast_v out_o i_o remember_v a_o expression_n that_o we_o have_v in_o the_o prophecy_n of_o isaiah_n which_o i_o think_v be_v mistake_v and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v mention_v it_o isa_n 50._o at_o the_o beginning_n thus_o say_v the_o lord_n where_o be_v the_o bill_n of_o your_o mother_n divorcement_n who_o i_o have_v put_v away_o etc._n etc._n the_o meaning_n i_o take_v to_o be_v this_o that_o though_o god_n do_v as_o it_o be_v separate_v israel_n from_o himself_o for_o a_o while_n for_o sin_n yet_o he_o do_v not_o divorce_v they_o he_o do_v never_o give_v they_o such_o a_o bill_n as_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o which_o they_o may_v conclude_v i_o be_o divorce_v and_o that_o which_o i_o gather_v from_o it_o be_v this_o that_o at_o last_o the_o soul_n shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o produce_v a_o bill_n of_o divorcement_n from_o jesus_n christ_n no_o soul_n whoever_o thou_o be_v take_v this_o for_o a_o certain_a comfort_n christ_n will_v not_o whole_o cast_v thou_o off_o he_o will_v not_o at_o last_o bid_v thou_o be_v go_v though_o at_o first_o he_o may_v not_o present_o entertain_v thou_o this_o be_v one_o thing_n and_o then_o second_o howsoever_o christ_n may_v deal_v with_o thou_o at_o present_a for_o thy_o comfort_n yet_o at_o last_o he_o will_v insure_v thou_o of_o everlasting_a salvation_n possible_o now_o he_o will_v not_o give_v thou_o bread_n so_o much_o as_o thou_o will_v have_v but_o yet_o he_o will_v absolute_o save_v thy_o soul_n and_o have_v mercy_n upon_o thou_o to_o all_o eternity_n therefore_o this_o be_v that_o christ_n say_v in_o john_n 6.39_o this_o be_v the_o will_n of_o he_o that_o send_v i_o that_o of_o all_o which_o he_o have_v give_v i_o i_o shall_v lose_v nothing_o but_o shall_v raise_v it_o up_o again_o at_o the_o last_o day_n there_o lie_v this_o for_o certain_a at_o the_o last_o

it_o be_v speak_v of_o such_o a_o resurrection_n as_o be_v peculiarly_a the_o portion_n of_o true_a believer_n christ_n will_v at_o last_o raise_v up_o all_o believer_n to_o life_n and_o glory_n albeit_o he_o may_v not_o seem_v to_o carry_v it_o in_o this_o life_n to_o the_o poor_a soul_n as_o it_o desire_v so_o that_o be_v a_o second_o thing_n which_o we_o may_v conclude_v in_o the_o general_n about_o christ_n kindness_n to_o we_o however_o in_o some_o particular_n he_o may_v not_o deal_v with_o we_o as_o with_o other_o a_o three_o thing_n we_o shall_v be_v sure_a to_o find_v at_o
