SERMON XV. 25. Then came she and worshipped him; saying,1 Lord help me]
- 18. Necessary duties required of a believer under desolation.8. Necessary duties required of a believer under desolution.
Christ had denied her to be His, but she will not deny but Christ is hers; See how a Believer is to carry himself toward Christ deserting, frowning. Christ first answered her not one word: 2. He gave an Answer, but to the Disciples, not to the woman; O dreadful, Christ refuseth to give her one word, that may go between her, and Hell, and despair: 3. The Answer that he giveth, is sadder and heavier then no Answer; its as much, As woman, I have nothing to do with thee; I quit my part of thee; Yet she is patient: 2. She believeth: 3. She waiteth on a better answer: 4. She continueth in praying: 5. Her love is not abetted, she cometh and adoreth: 6▪ Acknowledgeth her own misery: Lord help me; And putteth Christ as God in his own room to be adored: 7. She taketh Christ aright up, and seeth the temptation to be a temptation: 8. She runneth to Christ; she came nearer to him, and runneth not from him; she claimeth to Christ, though Christ had cast her off.
