Send her away, for she cries]
Men may be tired out with un∣cessant suites, as the unjust Judge was, and as these Disciples were weary to hear the poor womans outcries, repeating the same re∣quest over and over: Give her therefore, say they, either an almes or an answer; that she may be silenced and we eased. But it is otherwise with God, the oftener we come to him the better wel∣come: the louder we cry, the sooner we are heard: and the often repetition of the self-same petition, till we put the Lord out of countenance, put him (as you would say) to the blush, and even 〈◊〉〈◊〉 a blot in 〈◊〉〈◊〉 face, as the Greek word signifies, Luk 18. 5. this is the best melody we can 〈◊〉〈◊〉 him. He looks out of the casements of heaven on purpose to hear it.
