CONSIDER, with what dispositions this poore woman came to our Sa∣uiour. And first tho we may easily con∣ceiue that twelue yeares sufferance of that wasting desease had brought her lowe enough yet she with as much courage of mynde, as weaknesse of body pressed
through the thronge to gettneere Christ; Secondly she approched with as much modestie, humilitie, and vnderualuing of her selfe, as high conceipt of his power and Maiestie, before whose face she would not presume to present her selfe, but one∣ly came behind him to touch him &c.
[Affection.] O my soule, let vs place the example of this poore woman before our eyes. And let vs but vse the same care, courage, modestie, abiect conceipt of our selues, and high esteeme of God, for the cure of our spiritual infirmities, be they not of twelue yeares grouth onely but euen farr more inueterate; and we may certainly harbour in our soules ma∣ny comfortable hopes, that our care, cou∣rage, modestie, abiect conceipt of our selues, and high esteeme of God, will be agreeable in his diuine sight: thar he will looke vpon them with pittie: and say to vs, as he did to her: take a good harte daughter, thy faith hath made the safe, and the woman became whole from that houre.
