little_a faith_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n we_o can_v behold_v christ_n in_o heaven_n though_o zaccheus_n be_v a_o man_n of_o little_a stature_n yet_o it_o appear_v that_o he_o be_v not_o a_o man_n of_o little_a wit_n for_o when_o he_o can_v not_o come_v to_o the_o sight_n of_o christ_n for_o the_o multitude_n he_o have_v the_o wit_n to_o run_v before_o and_o to_o climb_v up_o into_o a_o

sharp_a wit_n god_n so_o provide_v that_o the_o defect_n of_o their_o body_n may_v be_v supply_v with_o the_o gift_n of_o their_o mind_n now_o zaccheus_n that_o before_o be_v loath_a to_o move_v his_o foot_n from_o the_o custom-house_n for_o lose_v his_o profit_n begin_v to_o run_v after_o christ_n for_o fear_n of_o a_o great_a loss_n like_o elisa_n that_o leave_v his_o plough_v and_o run_v after_o elias_n to_o follow_v his_o new_a vocation_n 19_o but_o zaccheus_n do_v not_o only_o run_v but_o also_o climb_v up_o into_o a_o tree_n to_o see_v christ_n a_o strange_a thing_n that_o zaccheus_n a_o rich_a man_n and_o a_o chief_a customer_n shall_v behave_v himself_o so_o childish_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o so_o great_a a_o multitude_n but_o the_o desire_n he_o have_v to_o see_v christ_n make_v he_o forget_v himself_o and_o to_o commit_v such_o thing_n as_o be_v not_o fit_v for_o his_o state_n and_o credit_n so_o they_o that_o will_v follow_v christ_n must_v make_v account_n to_o do_v many_o thing_n contrary_a to_o the_o 12_o fashion_n of_o the_o world_n and_o their_o own_o like_n if_o christ_n himself_o be_v content_a to_o leave_v the_o glory_n which_o he_o have_v with_o his_o father_n to_o come_v down_o to_o we_o shall_v not_o we_o be_v content_a to_o leave_v the_o reputation_n which_o we_o have_v with_o man_n to_o go_v up_o to_o he_o but_o alas_o where_o be_v there_o any_o almost_o that_o prefer_v not_o the_o fruition_n of_o this_o earthly_a prison_n before_o the_o possession_n of_o that_o heavenly_a mansion_n and_o have_v rather_o hazard_v the_o hope_n which_o they_o have_v of_o eternal_a glory_n then_o lose_v the_o present_a enjoy_n of_o their_o fade_a pleasure_n the_o ambitious_a man_n hunt_v after_o honour_n and_o will_v not_o lose_v a_o inch_n of_o his_o estimation_n the_o covetous_a man_n seek_v after_o profit_n and_o count_v like_a judas_n all_o lose_v that_o come_v not_o to_o his_o bag_n and_o the_o voluptuous_a man_n bestow_v his_o time_n in_o pleasure_n 6._o and_o think_v that_o his_o chief_a felicittie_n thus_o every_o man_n make_v his_o heaven_n of_o that_o wherein_o he_o most_o delight_v &_o be_v content_a to_o take_v great_a pain_n to_o accomplish_v his_o fond_a desire_n but_o here_o zaccheus_n be_v of_o another_o mind_n for_o be_v a_o public_a officer_n he_o climb_v into_o a_o tree_n which_o stand_v not_o with_o his_o gravity_n

be_v able_a to_o hold_v we_o back_o 22._o we_o must_v be_v ready_a not_o only_o to_o run_v 26._o but_o also_o to_o climb_v if_o need_v require_v as_o zaccheus_n do_v that_o be_v to_o take_v some_o

we_o be_v loath_a to_o take_v any_o pain_n to_o hear_v one_o that_o be_v great_a than_o solomon_n the_o people_n in_o david_n time_n bring_v so_o much_o treasure_n 9_o and_o so_o many_o gift_n to_o the_o build_n of_o god_n temple_n that_o the_o priest_n be_v fain_o to_o bid_v they_o cease_v but_o a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o people_n in_o our_o time_n be_v so_o spare_v of_o their_o pain_n and_o cost_n that_o they_o think_v that_o very_a time_n misspend_v which_o be_v employ_v in_o the_o service_n of_o god_n and_o that_o money_n ill_o bestow_v which_o be_v give_v to_o the_o maintenance_n of_o his_o minister_n when_o zaccheus_n can_v not_o see_v christ_n for_o the_o multitude_n he_o climb_v up_o into_o a_o tree_n that_o grow_v in_o the_o way_n where_o he_o be_v to_o pass_v that_o from_o a_o tree_n he_o may_v behold_v he_o which_o be_v to_o suffer_v on_o a_o tree_n for_o man_n salvation_n so_o when_o we_o can_v draw_v near_o to_o christ_n by_o reason_n of_o our_o sin_n that_o press_v we_o

we_o may_v behold_v he_o that_o die_v for_o our_o sin_n upon_o a_o tree_n it_o be_v a_o wild_a fig_n tree_n that_o zaccheus_n clymb_v 19_o but_o not_o like_o that_o unfruitful_a one_o which_o our_o

may_v have_v climb_v to_o no_o purpose_n so_o if_o we_o desire_v to_o find_v christ_n we_o must_v seek_v he_o in_o the_o way_n where_o he_o have_v promise_v to_o show_v himself_o unto_o we_o that_o
