it_o with_o suggestion_n of_o sense_n or_o reason_n but_o then_o a_o second_o direction_n be_v let_v faith_n have_v its_o perfect_a work_n therefore_o as_o the_o apostle_n faith_n about_o patience_n so_o let_v faith_n have_v its_o perfect_a work_n faith_n go_v at_o first_o to_o half_a a_o promise_n but_o let_v it_o alone_o it_o know_v where_o to_o fetch_v a_o whole_a promise_n let_v faith_n

from_o he_o nay_o it_o can_v run_v back_o to_o adam_n and_o help_v itself_o with_o the_o thought_n of_o his_o experience_n let_v faith_n have_v its_o course_n and_o it_o will_v carry_v you_o to_o

i_o shall_v conclude_v with_o two_o thing_n first_o woe_n to_o thou_o poor_a soul_n whoever_o thou_o be_v that_o want_v faith_n i_o do_v not_o say_v woe_n to_o thou_o that_o be_v a_o poor_a man_n nor_o woe_n to_o thou_o if_o thou_o be_v mean_a in_o the_o world_n nor_o say_v i_o thou_o be_v a_o sick_a or_o weak_a man_n and_o therefore_o woe_n no_o no_o but_o be_v thou_o a_o unbeliever_n a_o soul_n without_o faith_n then_o woe_n indeed_o to_o thou_o ah_o woe_n be_v to_o that_o man_n that_o want_v faith_n for_o without_o faith_n it_o be_v not_o possible_a to_o please_v god_n or_o to_o go_v to_o christ_n and_o how_o sad_a be_v the_o state_n of_o that_o soul_n that_o can_v do_v neither_o woe_n to_o all_o unbeliever_n second_o bless_v be_v you_o that_o have_v faith_n i_o say_v not_o that_o have_v so_o great_a a_o faith_n but_o faith_n true_a faith_n i_o say_v bless_a be_v you_o that_o believe_v you_o that_o do_v believe_v though_o but_o a_o little_a yet_o your_o little_a faith_n will_v do_v this_o great_a work_n it_o will_v keep_v you_o from_o drown_v it_o will_v carry_v you_o to_o christ_n that_o little_a faith_n peter_n have_v for_o all_o his_o fear_n keep_v he_o up_o from_o sink_v i_o remember_v what_o our_o lord_n say_v to_o nathaniel_n who_o believe_v as_o i_o may_v say_v a_o little_a believe_v thou_o thou_o shall_v see_v great_a thing_n than_o these_o john_n 1.50_o do_v but_o go_v on_o believe_v and_o thou_o shall_v see_v great_a thing_n than_o yet_o thou_o have_v see_v two_o thing_n your_o faith_n will_v do_v first_o it_o will_v be_v your_o leg_n to_o carry_v you_o to_o christ_n and_o that_o through_o all_o difficulty_n so_o you_o see_v it_o do_v this_o woman_n and_o second_o it_o will_v if_o i_o may_v say_v so_o compel_v as_o it_o be_v christ_n to_o entertain_v you_o after_o all_o denial_n ah_o soul_n what_o a_o glorious_a entertainment_n do_v christ_n give_v this_o poor_a woman_n at_o last_o well_o therefore_o strengthen_v faith_n and_o that_o will_v help_v you_o to_o do_v as_o this_o woman_n do_v and_o than_o you_o shall_v in_o the_o issue_n speed_n even_o as_o she_o do_v but_o of_o that_o in_o the_o next_o christ_n will_v be_v certain_o kind_a at_o last_o the_o seven_o sermon_n matthew_z 15._o vers_n 28._o then_o jesus_n answer_v and_o say_v unto_o she_o o_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 etc._n etc._n you_o have_v sometime_o see_v or_o at_o least_o hear_v of_o a_o poor_a beggar_n who_o have_v long_o lie_v and_o loud_o cry_v at_o the_o gate_n of_o some_o great_a person_n and_o yet_o never_o liften_v to_o never_o let_v in_o but_o anon_o it_o may_v be_v the_o master_n of_o the_o house_n himself_o have_v open_v the_o door_n and_o speak_v to_o the_o man_n kind_o and_o

hard_o and_o no_o answer_n but_o now_o at_o last_o the_o lord_n answer_v and_o the_o lord_n answer_v sweet_o oh_o woman_n great_a be_v thy_o faith_n be_v it_o unto_o thou_o even_o we_o thou_o will_v the_o last_o day_n we_o come_v to_o this_o verse_n in_o it_o i_o tell_v you_o we_o have_v the_o last_o particular_a of_o the_o story_n of_o the_o woman_n of_o canaan_n which_o hold_v forth_o the_o

which_o in_o a_o eminent_a manner_n be_v remarkable_a in_o this_o place_n the_o first_o we_o do_v dispatch_v then_o and_o that_o be_v this_o the_o grace_n which_o do_v carry_v on_o and_o carry_v out_o this_o poor_a woman_n in_o all_o this_o address_n it_o be_v she_o faith_n and_o thence_o we_o note_v this_o doctrine_n doct._n that_o it_o be_v only_a faith_n which_o can_v carry_v the_o soul_n through_o all_o difficulty_n and_o discouragement_n in_o the_o way_n to_o christ_n only_a faith_n remember_v it_o sir_n some_o of_o you_o have_v a_o little_a knowledge_n and_o other_o of_o you_o have_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o profession_n some_o of_o you_o talk_v much_o and_o the_o poor_a think_v it_o may_v be_v as_o well_o of_o himself_o as_o he_o that_o say_v most_o but_o remember_v whatever_o you_o know_v talk_v or_o think_v nothing_o will_v carry_v you_o to_o jesus_n christ_n but_o faith_n you_o may_v have_v fine_a word_n and_o good_a wish_n but_o alas_o word_v and_o wish_v be_v not_o come_v to_o jesus_n christ_n why_o this_o woman_n have_v other_o gift_n and_o other_o grace_n she_o have_v much_o humility_n and_o she_o have_v much_o patience_n and_o she_o have_v a_o fine_a gift_n of_o prayer_n etc._n etc._n yet_o it_o be_v not_o say_v woman_n much_o be_v thy_o patience_n or_o great_a be_v thy_o love_n strong_a be_v thy_o prayer_n but_o oh_o woman_n great_a be_v thy_o faith_n etc._n etc._n we_o do_v open_v the_o point_n at_o large_a and_o press_v it_o upon_o you_o in_o the_o application_n in_o divers_a particular_n which_o i_o shall_v not_o add_v unto_o or_o

if_o you_o do_v not_o now_o and_o if_o you_o have_v not_o a_o live_a faith_n you_o can_v have_v a_o live_a christ_n and_o then_o be_v your_o soul_n dead_a before_o death_n faith_n be_v another_o kind_n of_o thing_n than_o the_o world_n be_v aware_a of_o we_o hardly_o know_v the_o notion_n now_o but_o we_o shall_v never_o be_v able_a to_o know_v the_o preciousness_n of_o it_o as_o indeed_o it_o be_v precious_a but_o by_o the_o experience_n of_o it_o now_o the_o great_a experience_n of_o faith_n be_v see_v in_o that_o bless_a business_n of_o go_v to_o christ_n in_o that_o we_o have_v this_o experience_n of_o the_o use_n power_n and_o price_n of_o faith_n that_o whatever_o we_o have_v and_o pretend_v unto_o nothing_o but_o sincere_a single_a faith_n will_v carry_v we_o unto_o jesus_n christ_n but_o i_o proceed_v the_o second_o thing_n which_o indeed_o be_v the_o principal_a thing_n be_v this_o the_o kindness_n of_o christ_n now_o to_o this_o woman_n you_o see_v his_o commendation_n of_o her_o faith_n well_o now_o mark_v his_o condescension_n to_o she_o how_o much_o do_v christ_n condescend_v to_o this_o poor_a woman_n he_o condescend_v to_o talk_v with_o she_o commend_v her_o faith_n and_o comply_v with_o her_o wish_n to_o heal_v her_o daughter_n etc._n etc._n oh_o bless_a condescension_n the_o observation_n from_o the_o whole_a will_v be_v this_o doct._n that_o however_o the_o lord_n jesus_n may_v deal_v at_o first_o with_o poor_a soul_n that_o come_v to_o he_o in_o the_o issue_n he_o will_v deal_v very_o kind_o

say_v my_o prayer_n etc._n etc._n ask_v another_o what_o be_v your_o faith_n he_o reply_n i_o leave_v my_o sin_n say_v he_o etc._n etc._n this_o be_v thy_o repentance_n but_o not_o thy_o faith_n there_o be_v three_o great_a part_n of_o people_n ignorance_n about_o faith_n first_o many_o be_v ignorant_a about_o the_o ground_n of_o faith_n what_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o faith_n why_o the_o

and_o therefore_o i_o believe_v as_o if_o trouble_n for_o sin_n and_o moral_a amendment_n be_v a_o ground_n to_o build_v faith_n upon_o whereas_o the_o great_a and_o the_o precious_a promise_n be_v

tell_v you_o how_o god_n clear_v up_o the_o thing_n to_o i_o you_o have_v see_v a_o brave_a workman_n that_o be_v to_o remove_v such_o a_o piece_n of_o timber_n and_o he_o by_o his_o own_o skill_n
