their_o guiltless_a blood_n which_o be_v pour_v forth_o in_o every_o place_n without_o all_o compassion_n shall_v pull_v down_o hasty_a and_o sudden_a vengeance_n from_o heaven_n upon_o the_o head_n of_o those_o unmerciful_a cormorant_n unless_o while_o this_o time_n of_o mercy_n last_v they_o show_v mercy_n to_o their_o distress_a neighbour_n thus_o you_o have_v hear_v how_o zaccheus_n behave_v himself_o in_o entertain_v of_o christ_n now_o you_o shall_v see_v the_o behaviour_n of_o the_o pharisy_n in_o disdain_v at_o christ_n when_o all_o they_o see_v it_o they_o murmur_v say_v that_o he_o be_v go_v in_o to_o lodge_v with_o a_o sinful_a man_n before_o they_o hate_v zaccheus_n for_o his_o vice_n because_o he_o be_v covetous_a now_o they_o envy_v he_o for_o his_o virtue_n because_o he_o be_v give_v to_o hospitality_n for_o the_o wicked_a will_n always_o have_v something_o to_o find_v fault_n with_o in_o the_o child_n of_o god_n like_o the_o son_n of_o jacob_n gen._n 37._o that_o hate_v their_o brother_n joseph_n because_o of_o his_o dream_n and_o like_o saul_n that_o unhappy_a king_n that_o envy_v david_n for_o his_o happy_a victory_n 1._o sam._n 18._o 29._o thus_o the_o wicked_a when_o they_o can_v charge_v the_o godly_a with_o any_o grievous_a crime_n they_o begin_v to_o grudge_v at_o their_o well_o do_v and_o therefore_o not_o only_a zaccheus_n be_v hate_v for_o receive_v of_o christ_n but_o christ_n be_v hate_v also_o for_o be_v his_o guest_n when_o they_o can_v not_o accuse_v christ_n for_o sin_n they_o accuse_v he_o for_o company_v with_o sinner_n for_o they_o must_v still_o be_v accuse_v some_o or_o other_o for_o one_o thing_n or_o other_o like_o their_o father_n the_o devil_n that_o both_o by_o name_n revel_v 12._o 10._o and_o by_o nature_n job_n 16._o 7._o be_v a_o continual_a accuser_n of_o the_o brethren_n it_o have_v be_v the_o duty_n of_o the_o pharisy_n to_o have_v receive_v christ_n and_o make_v much_o of_o he_o as_o zaccheus_n do_v but_o they_o be_v so_o far_o off_o from_o entertain_v he_o themselves_o that_o it_o greeve_v they_o to_o see_v zaccheus_n give_v he_o entertainment_n and_o sure_o such_o be_v the_o perverse_a nature_n of_o the_o wicked_a that_o they_o will_v neither_o receive_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n when_o it_o be_v offer_v they_o nor_o willing_o suffer_v any_o other_o to_o embrace_v the_o same_o like_o the_o wicked_a jews_n act_n 13._o 50._o that_o will_v neither_o believe_v the_o doctrine_n which_o paul_n preach_v nor_o can_v abide_v that_o the_o gentile_n shall_v be_v bring_v to_o the_o faith_n of_o

too_o wise_a and_o too_o holy_a to_o receive_v he_o into_o their_o company_n and_o not_o content_a to_o sequester_v and_o estrange_v themselves_o from_o christ_n they_o disdain_v also_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v conversant_a with_o publican_n and_o sinner_n as_o though_o he_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o be_v conversant_a among_o they_o if_o it_o be_v the_o office_n of_o christ_n to_o convert_v

be_v convenient_a christ_n shall_v visit_v sinner_n for_o their_o speedy_a conversion_n but_o as_o the_o physician_n that_o resort_v unto_o sick_a person_n be_v not_o straightway_o infect_n so_o the_o

yea_o he_o come_v to_o call_v pharisee_n sinner_n as_o well_o as_o publican_n sinner_n if_o the_o pharise_n will_v have_v confess_v themselves_o 18._o luke_n 18._o to_o be_v sinner_n as_o the_o

the_o pharisy_n that_o murmur_v at_o zaccheus_n will_v have_v be_v save_v they_o shall_v have_v confess_v themselves_o chief_a sinner_n as_o paul_n do_v they_o shall_v not_o have_v accuse_v christ_n for_o 15._o 1._o tim._n 1._o 15._o keep_v company_n with_o sinner_n but_o they_o shall_v have_v accuse_v themselves_o for_o not_o keep_v company_n with_o christ_n the_o just_a man_n say_v solomon_n pro._n 18_o be_v the_o first_o accuser_n of_o himself_o but_o the_o pharise_n be_v so_o far_o from_o accuse_v themselves_o that_o they_o begin_v to_o accuse_v zaccheus_n &_o christ_n together_o thus_o the_o pharisy_n of_o our_o time_n that_o make_v religion_n a_o cloak_n to_o cover_v their_o corrupt_a deal_n have_v this_o property_n to_o think_v other_o man_n to_o be_v heinous_a sinner_n and_o

27_o luke_n 11._o 1._o act._n 26._o 5._o mat._n 23._o 25._o 27_o sect_n of_o our_o religion_n acts._n 26._o they_o wash_v the_o outside_n of_o the_o cup_n and_o of_o the_o platter_n that_o be_v they_o

these_o pharisaical_a hypocrite_n you_o can_v be_v save_v these_o holy_a pharisy_n do_v use_v to_o call_v the_o publican_n not_o usurer_n nor_o extortioner_n as_o they_o themselves_o be_v but_o by_o
