4. A great Faith can trust in an 1angry God; it believes Gods love through a frown*. A vigorous Faith, though it be repulsed and beaten back, yet it will come on again*, and press upon God with an holy obstinacy. The Woman of Canaan was three times repulsed by Christ, yet she would take no denial from him; she turns discouragements into arguments, and made a fresh onset upon Christ, till at last by the power of Faith she overcame him. O Woman, great is thy Faith, be it unto thee as thou wilt, Mat. 15. 28. The Key of her Faith unlocked Christ's bowels, and now she may have what she will from him. When once she had gotten his heart, she might have his treasure too.
5. A great Faith can swim against Tide; it can go c•oss to sense 1and reason. Corrupt reason saith as Peter, Master, Pity thy self. Faith saith, It is better to suffer, than sin.
