Fourthly. She does propound her misery, leave her misery at the feet of Christ, and does not stint or limit him to this or that means. Lord (says she) my daughter is grievously ⟨p. 205⟩vexed; but she does not say, how she would have her daughter cured, she leaves that to Christ, only propounds her misery, and leaves that at the feet of Christ, to take his own way, and use his own means.

Fifthly. She continues yet praying, yea, when the Disciples had done. The Disciples they said, Send her away (at the 23. verse) for she crieth after us. Christ made an answer to them, and ye hear no more of the Disciples, they had done. Thus do you also, as this woman did, Though your Friends, and the Disciples of Christ that have been praying for you, be weary, have done, and have no more to speak for you; yet hold you out, and continue praying. Thus did this woman, she would not leave Christ, but she comes on afresh, she comes unto him again.
