business_n by_o attend_v to_o the_o carriage_n of_o our_o saviour_n towards_o the_o several_a sect_n of_o the_o jew_n respective_o for_o where_o as_o it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o there_o be_v three_o notable_a party_n among_o they_o common_o distinguish_v by_o the_o name_n of_o the_o essenes_n the_o pharisee_n and_o the_o sadducee_n it_o be_v very_o remarkable_a concern_v the_o first_o of_o they_o namely_o the_o essenes_n that_o though_o they_o be_v very_o numerous_a at_o the_o time_n of_o our_o saviour_n and_o withal_o hold_v several_a very_o odd_a and_o unjustifiable_a opinion_n yet_o our_o saviour_n be_v so_o far_o from_o all_o bitterness_n and_o severity_n towards_o they_o that_o we_o do_v not_o find_v that_o he_o make_v any_o kind_n of_o reflection_n upon_o they_o but_o for_o the_o other_o two_o viz._n the_o pharisee_n and_o sadducee_n he_o upon_o all_o occasion_n sharp_o inveigh_v against_o they_o and_o severe_o expose_v they_o now_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o very_a different_a carriage_n of_o our_o saviour_n seem_v to_o be_v this_o that_o the_o essenes_n though_o they_o be_v mistake_v in_o some_o opinion_n yet_o be_v sincere_a in_o their_o mind_n harmless_a in_o their_o life_n quiet_a and_o peaceable_a in_o their_o spirit_n they_o content_v themselves_o to_o enjoy_v their_o own_o conscience_n and_o let_v other_o man_n alone_o they_o be_v not_o a_o confident_a and_o boisterous_a sort_n of_o man_n that_o must_v either_o have_v the_o sole_a government_n of_o the_o world_n or_o else_o be_v always_o plot_v and_o contrive_v of_o mischief_n but_o humble_a and_o modest_a and_o so_o capable_a of_o be_v recover_v from_o their_o error_n but_o the_o other_o two_o sect_n viz._n the_o pharisee_n and_o sadducee_n they_o be_v quite_o another_o sort_n of_o man_n pretender_n to_o infallibility_n and_o consequent_o presumptuous_a and_o over-bearing_a perpetual_a dictator_n in_o opinion_n fastuous_a and_o disdainful_a towards_o all_o other_o too_o wise_a in_o their_o own_o eye_n to_o learn_v of_o any_o one_o and_o too_o sanctimonious_a to_o be_v reprove_v by_o any_o body_n withal_o they_o be_v a_o crafty_a and_o project_v sort_n of_o man_n that_o must_v either_o rule_n or_o confound_v the_o world._n our_o saviour_n therefore_o to_o teach_v we_o to_o make_v a_o discrimination_n in_o the_o like_a case_n as_o i_o observe_v gentle_o pass_v by_o the_o essenes_n but_o always_o set_v himself_o most_o severe_o against_o the_o two_o other_o sect_n and_o particular_o here_o in_o my_o text_n give_v his_o disciple_n caution_n against_o they_o take_v heed_n and_o beware_v of_o the_o leaven_n of_o the_o pharisee_n and_o of_o the_o sadducee_n the_o special_a occasion_n of_o these_o word_n be_v this_o if_o we_o look_v to_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o chapter_n we_o find_v these_o two_o busy_a sect_n though_o at_o other_o time_n they_o have_v hot_a dispute_n between_o themselves_o yet_o now_o lay_v their_o head_n together_o and_o conspire_v
