who_o soul_n be_v bitter_a come_v to_o the_o prophet_n and_o so_o soon_o as_o she_o come_v to_o he_o she_o fall_v down_o and_o catch_v he_o by_o the_o foot_n i_o pray_v behold_v and_o learn_v in_o

the_o lord_n have_v much_o grace_n behold_v the_o woman_n of_o canaan_n and_o see_v how_o she_o do_v and_o we_o ought_v to_o eye_n and_o plead_v mere_a mercy_n and_o that_o only_a and_o always_o when_o we_o come_v to_o christ_n three_o observe_v a_o little_o further_a what_o she_o say_v lord_n thou_o son_n of_o david_n she_o speak_v in_o language_n beyond_o the_o learning_n of_o the_o

of_o david_n it_o be_v indeed_o a_o miracle_n that_o a_o woman_n of_o canaan_n shall_v have_v this_o knowledge_n and_o we_o may_v say_v as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o another_o case_n of_o christ_n whence_o have_v this_o woman_n knowledge_n why_o my_o brethren_n what_o can_v any_o of_o we_o have_v say_v more_o to_o christ_n to_o speak_v out_o our_o faith_n what_o be_v it_o but_o that_o we_o do_v believe_v in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n this_o phrase_n speak_v faith_n learn_v hence_o in_o all_o your_o address_n to_o christ_n to_o come_v in_o the_o language_n of_o faith_n and_o speak_v to_o christ_n as_o become_v jesus_n christ_n still_o know_v he_o be_v the_o lord_n david_n son_n the_o promise_a one_o indeed_o when_o you_o come_v to_o deal_v with_o jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o hasty_a consider_v who_o he_o be_v he_o be_v the_o lord_n and_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o david_n the_o true_a and_o the_o only_a messiah_n remember_v this_o lesson_n in_o all_o your_o address_n to_o jesus_n christ_n remember_v this_o good_a example_n it_o be_v a_o saint_n pattern_n there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o people_n i_o will_v desire_v to_o look_v upon_o this_o pattern_n the_o first_o be_v those_o who_o it_o may_v be_v be_v but_o now_o begin_v to_o close_v with_o jesus_n christ_n and_o second_o those_o who_o it_o may_v be_v have_v revolt_v and_o back_o slide_v from_o christ_n and_o be_v now_o return_v again_o i_o pray_v sir_n make_v as_o much_o haste_n as_o you_o can_v but_o observe_v how_o you_o go_v go_v to_o jesus_n christ_n with_o much_o affection_n with_o much_o humility_n renounce_v merit_n and_o cry_v mercy_n and_o still_o give_v the_o lord_n his_o due_n so_o you_o see_v this_o woman_n of_o canaan_n do_v and_o go_v thou_o o_o soul_n in_o any_o case_n and_o do_v likewise_o that_o be_v all_o i_o will_v speak_v to_o the_o second_o head_n to_o proceed_v to_o the_o three_o and_o last_o thing_n behold_v once_o again_o the_o occasion_n of_o this_o woman_n come_v it_o be_v that_o her_o daughter_n be_v grievous_o vex_v with_o a_o devil_n the_o evangelist_n mark_n say_v she_o be_v vex_v with_o a_o unclean_a spirit_n the_o one_o be_v a_o general_a the_o other_o be_v a_o particular_a expression_n of_o it_o i_o do_v not_o think_v it_o worth_a the_o while_n to_o dispute_v about_o this_o infirmity_n or_o this_o possession_n under_o which_o her_o daughter_n lay_v what_o it_o be_v all_o that_o i_o shall_v note_v shall_v be_v not_o of_o a_o physical_a but_o rather_o of_o a_o spiritual_a and_o theological_a nature_n from_o this_o mother_n come_v to_o christ_n upon_o this_o occasion_n in_o the_o general_a she_o take_v her_o child_n to_o be_v possess_v with_o a_o devil_n she_o go_v not_o to_o a_o figurefling_a not_o to_o any_o cunning_a man_n as_o simple_a one_o use_v to_o say_v she_o go_v not_o to_o the_o devil_n in_o a_o doctor_n to_o cast_v out_o the_o devil_n of_o her_o daughter_n no_o but_o she_o come_v to_o christ_n i_o pray_v in_o the_o general_n learn_v in_o all_o case_n distemper_n disease_n etc._n etc._n to_o go_v first_o to_o jesus_n christ_n you_o may_v go_v to_o man_n to_o physician_n though_o not_o to_o wizard_n but_o you_o must_v go_v to_o christ_n and_o behold_v the_o woman_n of_o canaan_n to_o establish_v you_o in_o that_o good_a christian_a custom_n of_o have_v recourse_n to_o christ_n on_o all_o occasion_n in_o all_o necessity_n whether_o for_o you_o and_o yourselves_o but_o this_o be_v general_a there_o be_v two_o thing_n in_o particular_a the_o first_o particular_a thing_n i_o will_v have_v you_o learn_v out_o of_o this_o mother_n come_v upon_o this_o account_n be_v parentive_a pity_n in_o compassion_n on_o child_n this_o woman_n of_o canaan_n pity_v her_o child_n and_o cry_n as_o if_o she_o herself_o feel_v her_o daughter_n pain_n and_o though_o she_o be_v not_o sick_a simple_o yet_o she_o be_v sympathetical_o thou_o that_o can_v let_v the_o little_a one_o cry_n and_o it_o may_v be_v perish_v while_o thou_o be_v fool_v abroad_o oh_o remember_v the_o woman_n of_o canaan_n have_v pity_n on_o your_o poor_a child_n and_o for_o their_o sake_n go_v to_o jesus_n christ_n and_o do_v i_o mean_v only_o you_o shall_v go_v to_o christ_n for_o they_o when_o they_o be_v sick_a no_o but_o oh_o pray_v for_o thy_o child_n sick_a soul_n it_o be_v a_o notable_a speech_n of_o one_o of_o the_o ancient_n say_v he_o will_v thou_o mourn_v over_o a_o body_n from_o who_o the_o soul_n be_v go_v and_o not_o over_o a_o soul_n from_o who_o god_n be_v go_v oh_o show_v that_o you_o have_v spiritual_a sympathy_n many_o of_o you_o have_v a_o natural_a sympathy_n if_o you_o see_v the_o child_n burn_v and_o snake_n etc._n etc._n of_o a_o fever_n thou_o can_v pity_v he_o but_o it_o may_v be_v thou_o see_v he_o shake_v and_o reel_v with_o drunkenness_n and_o not_o pity_v they_o at_o all_o it_o be_v motherly_a pity_n to_o sympathize_v with_o sick_a body_n but_o christian_a pity_n to_o sympathize_v with_o sick_a soul_n friend_n put_v on_o bowel_n as_o the_o elect_a of_o god_n as_o the_o woman_n of_o canaan_n and_o have_v compassion_n on_o your_o child_n in_o all_o their_o affliction_n be_v you_o

eat_v of_o the_o crumb_n which_o fall_v from_o their_o master_n table_n the_o lord_n have_v in_o a_o manner_n call_v her_o dog_n and_o say_v it_o be_v not_o for_o dog_n to_o have_v child_n bread_n she_o do_v not_o deny_v it_o but_o she_o grapple_v with_o grace_n and_o say_v truth_n lord_n yet_o dog_n may_v have_v a_o crumb_n etc._n etc._n i_o shall_v put_v all_o that_o be_v speak_v here_o of_o her_o carriage_n into_o one_o lesson_n but_o before_o i_o do_v that_o i_o shall_v name_v two_o other_o observable_a point_n the_o first_o be_v this_o a_o right_a faith_n come_v and_z carrying_z of_o the_o soul_n to_o christ_n be_v a_o resolute_a faith_n that_o be_v one_o point_n i_o will_v name_v pray_v mark_v it_o the_o lord_n jesus_n seem_v to_o put_v she_o off_o he_o give_v she_o nothing_o 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 l●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

of_o spirit_n they_o avoid_v by_o close_v with_o christ_n betimes_o my_o think_v i_o see_v some_o soul_n under_o such_o a_o condition_n you_o have_v stay_v out_o all_o day_n and_o come_v home_o at_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

to_o conclude_v against_o this_o truth_n be_v there_o a_o poor_a woman_n of_o canaan_n before_o the_o lord_n that_o have_v have_v many_o a_o frown_n and_o many_o a_o hard_o put_v off_o many_o a_o
