sixthly_a the_o most_o rare_a work_n in_o this_o woman_n be_v the_o confession_n of_o her_o faith_n for_o she_o give_v christ_n a_o double_a title_n namely_o i._o she_o call_v he_o lord_n and_o

therefore_o her_o knowledge_n be_v great_a second_o assent_n now_o herein_o also_o this_o woman_n faith_n be_v great_a for_o she_o live_v among_o idolater_n some_o worship_a hercules_n some_o

that_o teach_v that_o jesus_n of_o nazareth_n be_v the_o great_a prophet_n of_o the_o lord_n who_o be_v able_a to_o expel_v and_o repel_v satan_n and_o all_o evil_n and_o therefore_o her_o assent_n be_v great_a three_o trust_v and_o confidence_n now_o herein_o likewise_o her_o faith_n be_v great_a for_o unto_o this_o throne_n of_o grace_n christ_n she_o come_v with_o that_o boldness_n that_o neither_o by_o christ_n silence_n nor_o a_o hard_a answer_n give_v to_o his_o disciple_n nor_o that_o reproachful_a name_n of_o dog_n give_v to_o herself_o she_o can_v be_v keep_v from_o he_o or_o
