help_v my_o unbelief_n the_o occasion_n of_o these_o word_n be_v declare_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o history_n which_o be_v this_o that_o a_o certain_a man_n have_v a_o child_n possess_v by_o the_o devil_n which_o have_v make_v he_o dumb_a and_o deaf_a and_o that_o from_o his_o childhood_n in_o so_o much_o that_o he_o can_v never_o speak_v nor_o hear_v in_o all_o his_o life_n this_o man_n in_o the_o absence_n of_o christ_n bring_v he_o to_o his_o disciple_n hear_v that_o they_o have_v dispossess_v other_o and_o therefore_o hope_v to_o find_v the_o like_a success_n for_o himself_o but_o

distress_a child_n do_v forthwith_o hasten_v unto_o he_o and_o enter_v into_o speech_n with_o he_o now_o these_o word_n do_v contain_v part_n of_o that_o conference_n which_o pass_v betwixt_o they_o wherein_o we_o may_v note_v these_o three_o thing_n 1_o 1._o first_o the_o petition_n of_o the_o man_n with_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o he_o beseech_v our_o saviour_n if_o he_o can_v do_v any_o thing_n that_o he_o will_v have_v compassion_n on_o he_o and_o his_o son_n and_o minister_v comfort_n unto_o he_o by_o give_v deliverance_n unto_o his_o child_n from_o his_o miserable_a estate_n wherein_o he_o be_v and_o to_o move_v he_o un_o to_o great_a commiseration_n he_o relate_v unto_o he_o in_o what_o sort_n satan_n do_v tyrannize_v over_o he_o cast_v he_o oft_o time_n into_o the_o fire_n to_o burn_v he_o and_o into_o the_o water_n to_o drown_v he_o verse_n 22._o 2_o 2._o second_o our_o saviour_n answer_n where_o we_o may_v observe_v that_o as_o the_o man_n come_v with_o a_o if_o say_v if_o thou_o can_v do_v any_o thing_n so_o he_o answer_v he_o with_o the_o like_a if_o thou_o can_v believe_v this_o that_o be_v if_o thou_o can_v be_v persuade_v of_o my_o power_n that_o i_o be_o able_a to_o do_v this_o thy_o son_n shall_v be_v help_v for_o that_o must_v needs_o be_v supply_v and_o he_o yield_v a_o reason_n thereof_o all_o thing_n be_v possible_a to_o the_o believer_n vers_fw-la 23_o and_o therefore_o this_o be_v be_v not_o impossible_a as_o if_o christ_n jesus_n shall_v have_v say_v whereas_o thou_o make_v question_n whether_o i_o can_v dispossess_v thy_o son_n or_o not_o know_v this_o that_o if_o there_o be_v any_o doubt_n it_o be_v on_o thy_o part_n not_o on_o i_o if_o thou_o can_v believe_v thou_o shall_v find_v that_o neither_o this_o nor_o any_o other_o matter_n be_v too_o difficult_a for_o i_o this_o our_o saviour_n speak_v for_o the_o help_a of_o his_o weak_a faith_n 3_o three_o we_o may_v note_v the_o reply_n of_o this_o man_n upon_o christ_n his_o speech_n he_o cry_v with_o tear_n say_v lord_n i_o believe_v help_v my_o unbelief_n vers_fw-la 24._o where_o we_o see_v that_o he_o acknowledge_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n that_o he_o do_v believe_v in_o part_n and_o withal_o his_o own_o weakness_n that_o he_o be_v trouble_v with_o unbelief_n against_o which_o he_o desire_v christ_n to_o help_v he_o that_o be_v to_o cure_v he_o of_o it_o to_o give_v he_o strength_n against_o it_o and_o deliverance_n from_o it_o and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o order_n and_o sense_n of_o the_o word_n verse_n 22._o and_o oft_o time_n he_o cast_v he_o into_o the_o fire_n and_o into_o the_o water_n to_o destroy_v he_o whence_o observe_v this_o doctrine_n that_o body_n doct._n 1._o satan_n malice_n be_v bend_v even_o against_o man_n body_n satan_n be_v not_o only_o a_o enemy_n unto_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n but_o also_o unto_o their_o body_n he_o do_v not_o only_o seek_v their_o destruction_n spiritual_o by_o draw_v god_n wrath_n upon_o they_o but_o also_o corporal_o by_o bring_v affliction_n &_o misery_n upon_o they_o as_o here_o we_o may_v see_v by_o his_o cruel_a deal_n towards_o this_o child_n albeit_o he_o have_v get_v a_o habitation_n in_o he_o which_o be_v a_o thing_n wherein_o he_o much_o delight_v 8._o mark_n 5._o 8._o as_o may_v appear_v by_o this_o that_o he_o count_v it_o a_o torment_n to_o be_v cast_v out_o where_o once_o he_o have_v take_v possession_n yet_o he_o use_v great_a violence_n towards_o he_o cast_v he_o into_o the_o fire_n and_o into_o the_o water_n be_v content_a to_o relinquish_v and_o lose_v his_o hold_n so_o that_o the_o child_n may_v be_v destroy_v 5._o mark_n 5._o 5._o the_o like_a we_o may_v read_v in_o this_o same_o evangelist_n in_o his_o first_o chapter_n where_o mention_n be_v make_v of_o one_o possess_v who_o the_o devil_n cause_v to_o fly_v from_o and_o to_o eschew_v the_o company_n of_o man_n and_o to_o live_v in_o the_o mountain_n and_o in_o the_o grave_n and_o to_o knock_v himself_o with_o stone_n and_o so_o to_o abuse_v that_o strength_n which_o he_o have_v give_v he_o to_o his_o own_o great_a hurt_n and_o torment_n so_o also_o in_o his_o deal_n with_o job_n 1._o job._n 1._o and_o with_o his_o child_n and_o servant_n we_o may_v observe_v how_o willing_a he_o be_v to_o take_v liberty_n to_o hurt_v man_n body_n when_o it_o please_v the_o lord_n to_o grant_v it_o unto_o he_o and_o for_o the_o further_a confirmation_n of_o this_o point_n 1._o reason_n 1._o let_v we_o first_o take_v experience_n for_o one_o reason_n to_o convince_v we_o of_o the_o truth_n hereof_o and_o that_o in_o the_o limb_n of_o satan_n who_o be_v lead_v by_o his_o spirit_n do_v plain_o manifest_v of_o what_o disposition_n their_o master_n be_v now_o concern_v they_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o work_n
