therefore_o of_o zaccheus_n that_o obey_v the_o voice_n of_o christ_n let_v we_o learn_v obedience_n to_o the_o voice_n of_o christ_n sore_o as_o christ_n bid_v zaccheus_n to_o come_v down_o because_o he_o be_v too_o high_a so_o he_o say_v to_o every_o one_o of_o we_o come_v down_o because_o we_o be_v too_o high_a mind_v but_o with_o we_o the_o voice_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o so_o effectual_a as_o it_o be_v with_o zaccheus_n for_o he_o be_v content_a to_o come_v down_o at_o the_o first_o bid_v but_o we_o must_v be_v often_o bid_v to_o beware_v of_o pride_n &_o ambition_n and_o yet_o we_o will_v still_o be_v climb_v there_o be_v few_o so_o high_a that_o be_v content_a with_o their_o call_n but_o as_o haman_n be_v always_o aspire_v till_o he_o come_v to_o the_o gallows_n 7._o hest_n 7._o so_o many_o among_o we_o be_v always_o climb_v till_o they_o catch_v a_o fall_n again_o as_o christ_n say_v to_o zaccheus_n to_o day_n i_o must_v abide_v at_o thy_o house_n so_o christ_n say_v to_o we_o to_o day_n my_o poor_a afflict_a member_n shall_v receive_v some_o succour_n

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 christ_n the_o high_a priest_n think_v themselves_o too_o high_a to_o have_v poor_a humble_a christ_n among_o they_o the_o scribe_n and_o the_o pharisy_n in_o their_o own_o conceit_n be_v too_o good_a 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 sinner_n why_o shall_v the_o pharisy_n be_v offend_v at_o he_o if_o he_o be_v sometime_o 13._o mat._n 9_o 13._o conversant_a with_o sinner_n to_o work_v their_o connersion_n if_o christ_n be_v a_o physician_n to_o cure_v the_o sickness_n of_o the_o soul_n that_o be_v to_o save_v the_o people_n from_o their_o sin_n why_o 13._o mat._n 9_o 13._o shall_v the_o pharisy_n murmur_v at_o he_o for_o keep_v of_o company_n with_o zaccheus_n that_o be_v sick_a in_o soul_n for_o as_o it_o be_v expedient_a for_o the_o physician_n to_o visit_v his_o patient_n for_o their_o better_a recovery_n so_o it_o 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
