be_v still_o reject_v if_o we_o send_v to_o a_o great_a man_n we_o send_v a_o ox_n for_o a_o present_a but_o if_o we_o send_v to_o a_o poor_a man_n we_o send_v a_o crust_n for_o a_o alm_n therefore_o as_o christ_n say_v to_o the_o jew_n that_o the_o ninivites_fw-la shall_v rise_v in_o 12_o judgement_n against_o they_o because_o they_o repent_v at_o ionas_n preach_v so_o it_o may_v be_v say_v unto_o we_o that_o zaccheus_n shall_v rise_v in_o judgement_n against_o we_o and_o condemn_v we_o for_o he_o show_v great_a mercy_n upon_o the_o poor_a but_o we_o be_v void_a of_o all_o compassion_n thus_o you_o have_v hear_v the_o first_o part_n of_o zaccheus_n confession_n wherein_o you_o see_v his_o liberality_n to_o the_o poor_a now_o you_o shall_v hear_v the_o second_o part_n of_o his_o confession_n wherein_o he_o promise_v restitution_n of_o his_o unjust_a get_a good_n before_o zaccheus_n give_v to_o the_o poor_a the_o half_n of_o that_o which_o be_v his_o own_o now_o he_o restore_v that_o which_o be_v none_o of_o he_o to_o the_o right_a owner_n and_o because_o he_o have_v detain_v their_o good_n so_o long_o to_o their_o great_a loss_n and_o hindrance_n therefore_o he_o do_v not_o only_o restore_v the_o principal_a which_o he_o have_v take_v from_o they_o but_o he_o allow_v they_o their_o cost_n and_o damage_n they_o have_v sustain_v as_o joram_n king_n of_o israel_n cause_v 8._o to_o be_v restore_v to_o the_o shunamite_n her_o house_n &_o land_n with_o all_o the_o fruit_n and_o profit_n of_o the_o same_o which_o be_v wrongful_o keep_v from_o she_o seven_o year_n together_o so_o zaccheus_n the_o customer_n restore_v to_o those_o that_o he_o have_v oppress_v their_o good_n which_o he_o have_v get_v from_o they_o by_o fraudulent_a deal_n with_o all_o the_o fruit_n and_o profit_n that_o may_v come_v thereof_o during_o the_o time_n of_o his_o unjust_a possession_n so_o liberal_a be_v zaccheus_n to_o the_o poor_a that_o he_o give_v they_o half_a his_o good_n and_o so_o little_o get_v zaccheus_n by_o his_o usury_n and_o oppression_n that_o for_o every_o penny_n he_o restore_v four_o if_o the_o usurer_n and_o extortioner_n of_o our_o time_n will_v restore_v fourfold_a for_o that_o they_o have_v wrongful_o get_v i_o fear_v i_o they_o will_v have_v but_o a_o small_a half_a to_o give_v to_o the_o poor_a and_o but_o a_o little_a leave_v to_o help_v themselves_o there_o be_v no_o law_n to_o compel_v zaccheus_n to_o make_v such_o restitution_n except_o he_o will_v confess_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o thief_n because_o he_o be_v a_o usurer_n and_o then_o the_o law_n of_o god_n require_v such_o restitution_n and_o sure_o zaccheus_n seem_v after_o a_o sort_n to_o confess_v his_o theft_n because_o he_o promise_v four_o fold_n restitution_n if_o a_o man_n have_v steal_v a_o sheep_n the_o law_n of_o god_n require_v that_o he_o shall_v restore_v 12._o four_o sheep_n for_o one_o and_o the_o ancient_a roman_n have_v this_o law_n that_o usurer_n shall_v forfeit_v four_o time_n so_o much_o as_o they_o take_v for_o usury_n if_o the_o same_o law_n be_v now_o to_o use_v against_o our_o thievish_a usurer_n as_o it_o be_v sometime_o among_o they_o we_o shall_v not_o have_v such_o complain_n of_o the_o poor_a both_o in_o prison_n &_o street_n but_o if_o these_o great_a thief_n i_o mean_v our_o bite_a usurer_n that_o rob_v and_o spoil_v without_o cease_v when_o they_o have_v no_o need_n may_v find_v no_o more_o favour_n than_o those_o petty_a thief_n which_o rob_v and_o steal_v sometime_o when_o they_o be_v drive_v thereto_o by_o extreme_a necessity_n then_o sure_o the_o commonwealth_n will_v soon_o be_v disburden_v of_o that_o pestilent_a brood_n of_o caterpillar_n wherewith_o it_o be_v pester_v i_o wish_v they_o betimes_o to_o look_v to_o their_o own_o estate_n &_o with_o zaccheus_n to_o forsake_v their_o damnable_a trade_n if_o they_o have_v live_v hethertoo_o by_o the_o gain_n of_o usury_n let_v they_o now_o lament_v their_o sin_n and_o call_v to_o god_n for_o mercy_n &_o forgiveness_n let_v they_o make_v restitution_n of_o that_o they_o have_v wrongfu_o take_v and_o grieve_v that_o they_o have_v so_o long_o detain_v that_o which_o be_v none_o of_o they_o for_o as_o no_o sin_n be_v pardon_v without_o repentance_n to_o god_n so_o usury_n be_v not_o pardon_v without_o repentance_n to_o god_n and_o as_o the_o sin_n of_o theft_n be_v not_o remoove_v before_o restitution_n be_v make_v to_o man_n if_o the_o party_n be_v able_a so_o the_o sin_n of_o usury_n which_o be_v a_o secret_a theft_n be_v not_o remit_v before_o restitution_n be_v make_v to_o those_o that_o be_v oppress_v and_o spoil_v by_o this_o secret_a theft_n thus_o you_o have_v see_v how_o zaccheus_n that_o be_v once_o a_o hoarder_n of_o his_o good_n as_o our_o rich_a man_n be_v be_v now_o a_o liberal_a disposer_n of_o his_o good_n as_o i_o wish_v they_o be_v he_o that_o late_o be_v a_o camel_n lade_v with_o riches_n and_o 19_o therefore_o unapt_a to_o go_v through_o a_o needle_n eye_n have_v now_o like_o the_o camel_n cast_v off_o his_o rich_a 7._o lade_n and_o therefore_o may_v enter_v in_o at_o the_o narrow_a gate_n some_o rich_a man_n will_v rather_o have_v lose_v their_o life_n than_o forgo_v their_o good_n &_o for_o half_a that_o loss_n will_v have_v prove_v very_o pensive_a but_o this_o be_v the_o ioyfull_a news_n that_o ever_o come_v to_o zaccheus_n house_n sweet_a to_o he_o than_o all_o his_o gold_n &_o silver_n that_o where_o as_o before_o he_o be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o damnation_n now_o salvation_n be_v promise_v to_o he_o and_o his_o house_n and_o whereas_o before_o he_o be_v the_o servant_n of_o satan_n now_o he_o be_v become_v the_o child_n of_o abraham_n now_o zaccheus_n house_n be_v become_v god_n house_n &_o zaccheus_n himself_o be_v the_o son_n of_o abraham_n and_o therefore_o no_o cause_n why_o christ_n shall_v not_o resort_v to_o zaccheus_n house_n as_o christ_n say_v to_o the_o penitent_a thief_n this_o day_n shall_v thou_o be_v with_o i_o in_o paradise_n so_o he_o 23._o say_v here_o to_o the_o penitent_a publican_n this_o day_n salvation_n be_v come_v unto_o thy_o house_n and_o this_o day_n thou_o be_v become_v the_o child_n of_o abraham_n christ_n love_v not_o to_o be_v long_o in_o any_o man_n debt_n for_o as_o he_o say_v to_o zaccheus_n to_o day_n i_o must_v abide_v at_o thy_o house_n so_o he_o say_v to_o the_o same_o zaccheus_n to_o day_n and_o hence_o forth_o for_o ever_o thou_o &_o thy_o house_n must_v abide_v with_o i_o in_o heaven_n here_o be_v a_o happy_a change_n in_o stead_n of_o a_o little_a worldly_a treasure_n subject_a to_o loss_n by_o thief_n and_o to_o spoil_v by_o rust_n and_o moth_n to_o have_v all_o store_n of_o heavenly_a treasure_n which_o neither_o thief_n can_v steal_v nor_o canker_n can_v corrupt_v in_o stead_n of_o a_o earthly_a house_n subject_a to_o fire_n 6._o and_o fall_v to_o have_v a_o house_n give_v of_o god_n not_o make_v with_o hand_n but_o eternal_a in_o heaven_n 2._o cor._n 5._o 1._o who_o will_v not_o rather_o choose_v with_o zaccheus_n to_o give_v half_a his_o good_n to_o the_o poor_a that_o he_o may_v be_v a_o heir_n of_o salvation_n and_o the_o son_n of_o abraham_n to_o rest_v in_o his_o father_n bosom_n than_o with_o dives_fw-la to_o keep_v all_o from_o the_o poor_a &_o to_o be_v torment_v in_o those_o eternal_a flame_n that_o rich_a glutton_n that_o deny_v the_o crumb_n 16._o from_o his_o table_n challenge_v abraham_n for_o his_o father_n but_o he_o be_v refuse_v because_o he_o have_v not_o the_o faith_n nor_o work_n of_o abraham_n but_o 39_o zaccheus_n though_o by_o nature_n he_o be_v not_o the_o child_n of_o abraham_n yet_o by_o grace_n he_o be_v become_v the_o child_n of_o abraham_n because_o he_o walk_v in_o the_o step_n of_o that_o faithful_a father_n abraham_n believe_v before_o he_o be_v circumcise_v 12._o so_o zaccheus_n believe_v before_o he_o be_v circumcise_v as_o abraham_n leave_v his_o country_n 3._o and_o all_o that_o he_o have_v when_o god_n call_v he_o so_o zaccheus_n leave_v his_o office_n and_o the_o most_o part_n of_o his_o riches_n when_o he_o be_v call_v by_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o as_o abraham_n desire_v to_o see_v the_o 56._o day_n of_o christ_n and_o see_v it_o and_o rejoice_v so_o zaccheus_n desire_v to_o see_v christ_n and_o he_o see_v he_o and_o rejoice_v now_o be_v zaccheus_n a_o gentile_a become_v the_o child_n of_o abraham_n and_o not_o only_o he_o but_o his_o whole_a house_n also_o be_v become_v the_o house_n of_o abraham_n for_o when_o zaccheus_n be_v convert_v his_o whole_a house_n be_v convert_v as_o the_o master_n be_v such_o be_v the_o servant_n if_o he_o be_v godly_a &_o religious_a they_o prove_v godly_a and_o religious_a if_o he_o be_v a_o atheist_n they_o prove_v atheist_n likewise_o therefore_o keep_v no_o company_n 18._o with_o the_o wicked_a for_o it_o be_v most_o pernicious_a but_o associate_v thyself_o with_o those_o that_o fear_v the_o lord_n that_o thou_o also_o may_v learn_v to_o fear_v the_o lord_n who_o for_o his_o mercy_n grant_v that_o we_o may_v with_o zaccheus_n be_v desirous_a
