Verse 18. Behold, there came a certain Ruler.]
Jairus the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of the 〈◊〉〈◊〉. 〈◊〉〈◊〉 such came to Christ: but this man was 〈◊◊〉〈◊◊〉 of doors by the crosse, as the wolf is out of the wood by hard hunger. It was his only daughter of a 〈◊〉〈◊〉-year 〈◊〉〈◊〉, that was now at point of death. This makes him 〈◊〉〈◊〉 out to* 1.1 Christ the best Physitian. Men must be 〈◊◊〉〈◊◊〉 (〈◊〉〈◊〉) ere they finde mercy (Hos. 14. 3.) and a 〈◊◊〉〈◊◊〉 people ere they will be brought to trust in the name of the Lord, Zeph. 3. 12.
The Haemorroisse came not to Christ, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 she had a half-peny to 〈◊〉〈◊〉 her self.
But come and lay thine hands upon her.]

Knowledge therefore is one thing, faith 〈◊〉〈◊〉: and the greatest scholars, are not alwaies the holiest men. Neither have all Gods people a like measure of true faith. This should humble and 〈◊〉〈◊〉 the weak, but not discourage them in their 〈◊〉〈◊〉: since the tallest Oak was once an 〈◊〉〈◊〉, and the deepest Doctour was once in his horn∣book.
