Matthew Poole and continuators on Matthew 15:28

28 Then Jesus said unto her, O woman! great is thy faith; be it unto thee, even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.

Mark saith, Chap. 7.29. And he said unto her, for this saying, Go thy way, the Devil is gone out of thy Daughter. And when she was come to her House, she found the Devil gone out, and her Daughter laid up[illegible: 1 letter]n the Bed. O Woman! for this saying, shewing the greatness of thy Faith. Be it unto thee, as thou wilt. Go thy way, the Devil is gone out of thy Daughter. And her Daughter was made whole that very Hour, as she understood, when she came home to her House, for she found the Devil was gone out of her Daughter, and her Daughter was laid upon the Bed. Thus the Words of both the Evangelists Compounded, make but one entire and perfect Sense. The greatness of her Faith appeared in two things. 1. In that she had so little means, so small a Revelation, being a Pagan, she ordinarily had not heard the Gospel, nor seen so many of Christs mighty Works, Confirming the Truth of the Doctrine of it. Hence it is o[illegible: 1 letter]served, that Christ admired the Faith of none but Pagans. Matth. 8.10.2. In that she would not give over, tho he gave her three Repulses. So as she said like Iacob. I will not let thee go, until thou Bless me. And as he like a Prince, so she like a Princess ▪ prevailed with God, and obtained the thing which she desired, But will some say. Where was her Faith? What promise? what Word of God had she to assent to? God doth not speak to us outwardly, but inwardly, as undoubtedly he had to this Woman, giving her some inward assurance, that he was the Son of God, and both able, and willing to grant her the thing she asked. Now a f[illegible: 1 letter]rm and fixed assent to any Divine Revelation is Faith: whether the Revelation be Internal or External. We from hence learn, the mighty Power of True Faith and Fervent Prayer.
