so_o i_o will_v have_v the_o rich_a man_n of_o our_o time_n desirous_a to_o see_v christ_n in_o heaven_n for_o although_o with_o the_o eye_n of_o our_o body_n we_o can_v see_v christ_n as_o zaccheus_n

here_o from_o come_v unto_o christ_n till_o christ_n vouchsafe_v to_o call_v he_o to_o himself_o thus_o always_o a_o multitude_n that_o be_v prone_a to_o evil_n do_v withdraw_v and_o hinder_v we_o

the_o lord_n zaccheus_n be_v so_o low_a that_o he_o can_v not_o see_v christ_n but_o many_o among_o we_o be_v so_o high_a that_o they_o will_v not_o see_v christ_n the_o common_a people_n in_o time_n of_o christ_n be_v so_o desirous_a to_o follow_v christ_n that_o neither_o lameness_n nor_o blindness_n nor_o sickness_n can_v stay_v they_o from_o come_v to_o he_o but_o the_o common_a people_n in_o
