This is the tenth and last fruit of their faith, which must be understood of these two women especially: the widow of Zarephath, and the Shunamite. The widow of Zarephath, giving entertainment:1 o Elijah in the great famine, had this blessing vouchsafed unto her for her faith, that her dead son was restored to life by the Prophet: And the Shunamite that provided lodging for the Prophet Elisha, 2had her only son restored to life from death by the Prophet through faith. Now here we must observe, that these two women did not only believe in the true God; but more particularly, that God would use these his servants, as means to restore to life their two children that were ⟨p. 524⟩dead: as appears by this, that both of them made means to the Prophet, for the reviving of their children; which they did, by faith.
