that_o they_o be_v count_v worthy_a to_o suffer_v rebuke_n for_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n so_o zaccheus_n the_o publican_n go_v forth_o rejoice_v that_o he_o be_v reproach_v for_o the_o cause_n of_o

upon_o a_o tocke_z free_a from_o any_o danger_n of_o fall_v behold_v lord_n the_o half_a of_o my_o good_n etc._n etc._n there_o be_v two_o part_n of_o this_o confession_n the_o first_o be_v his_o

to_o the_o poor_a before_o he_o be_v a_o encroacher_n upon_o other_o man_n good_n now_o he_o be_v a_o distributer_n of_o his_o own_o good_n before_o he_o be_v a_o receiver_n and_o a_o taker_n now_o he_o be_v a_o restorer_n and_o a_o giver_n neither_o do_v he_o give_v spare_o but_o he_o give_v liberal_o lay_v up_o a_o good_a foundation_n 6._o against_o the_o time_n to_o come_v now_o have_v zaccheus_n find_v that_o precious_a pearl_n &_o for_o joy_n 13._o thereof_o he_o be_v content_a not_o to_o sell_v but_o to_o give_v all_o that_o he_o have_v to_o enjoy_v the_o same_o when_o the_o rich_a ruler_n in_o the_o former_a chapter_n be_v 18._o will_v to_o sell_v all_o that_o he_o have_v and_o to_o give_v it_o to_o the_o poor_a he_o go_v away_o very_o sorrowful_a for_o he_o be_v very_o rich_a but_o zaccheus_n perhaps_o as_o rich_a as_o he_o be_v content_a of_o his_o own_o accord_n and_o unbidden_a to_o bestow_v half_a his_o good_n upon_o the_o poor_a and_o that_o with_o a_o cheerful_a mind_n if_o zaccheus_n have_v give_v only_o the_o three_o part_n of_o his_o good_n no_o doubt_n but_o christ_n will_v have_v accept_v it_o for_o he_o accept_v the_o widow_n farthing_n because_o it_o be_v give_v with_o 21._o a_o willing_a mind_n but_o if_o he_o have_v give_v all_o his_o good_n to_o feed_v the_o poor_a as_o the_o pharise_n give_v their_o alm_n to_o be_v see_v of_o

now_o as_o zaccheus_n be_v rich_a in_o the_o good_n of_o this_o life_n so_o be_v he_o rich_a in_o faith_n also_o neither_o be_v it_o a_o idle_a or_o dead_a faith_n that_o zaccheus_n have_v but_o it_o be_v a_o fruitful_a &_o a_o lively_a faith_n a_o faith_n that_o work_v and_o labour_v by_o love_n 6._o such_o as_o be_v require_v at_o the_o hand_n of_o christian_n s._n james_n say_v show_v i_o thy_o

he_o be_v exercise_v in_o the_o work_n of_o mercy_n which_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o a_o livelie_a faith_n zaccheus_n be_v very_o liberal_a in_o relieve_v the_o poor_a but_o he_o be_v liberal_a of_o that_o which_o be_v his_o own_o so_o there_o be_v many_o now_o a_o day_n that_o be_v very_o liberal_a but_o it_o be_v of_o that_o which_o be_v none_o of_o they_o for_o as_o nadab_n and_o abihu_n offer_v 10._o strange_a fire_n unto_o the_o lord_n so_o these_o man_n offer_v strange_a good_n unto_o the_o lord_n there_o be_v some_o among_o we_o that_o think_v to_o make_v amends_n for_o their_o unjust_a deal_n by_o give_v part_n of_o that_o to_o some_o good_a use_n which_o they_o have_v get_v by_o bad_a mean_n if_o they_o have_v get_v a_o pound_n by_o usury_n &_o oppression_n they_o be_v content_a perhaps_o to_o give_v a_o penny_n to_o relieve_v the_o poor_a but_o as_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o the_o israelit_n to_o bring_v the_o price_n or_o the_o hire_n of_o a_o harlot_n into_o the_o house_n of_o the_o lord_n so_o it_o 23._o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o we_o to_o apply_v the_o gain_n of_o our_o ill_n get_v good_n to_o the_o service_n of_o god_n the_o half_a of_o my_o good_n i_o give_v etc._n etc._n zaccheus_n faith_n not_o i_o have_v give_v as_o a_o upbraid_a of_o god_n or_o i_o will_v give_v as_o a_o delaier_n that_o mean_v to_o give_v away_o his_o good_n after_o his_o death_n when_o he_o can_v keep_v they_o no_o long_o but_o he_o say_v i_o give_v to_o signify_v that_o his_o will_n be_v his_o deed_n and_o that_o he_o mean_v not_o to_o take_v any_o day_n of_o payment_n for_o the_o matter_n for_o as_o before_o he_o run_v apace_o to_o see_v christ_n and_o come_v down_o hasty_o to_o entertain_v christ_n in_o his_o own_o person_n so_o do_v he_o here_o give_v quick_o to_o relieve_v christ_n in_o his_o needy_a member_n this_o be_v zaccheus_n last_o will_v &_o testament_n that_o he_o make_v before_o his_o death_n and_o see_v the_o same_o prove_v and_o perform_v before_o his_o eye_n if_o therefore_o we_o desire_v to_o do_v any_o good_a to_o any_o of_o our_o poor_a brethren_n let_v we_o learn_v of_o zaccheus_n to_o do_v it_o quick_o while_o we_o be_v alive_a for_o time_n will_v prevent_v we_o and_o death_n will_v prevent_v us._n i_o know_v there_o be_v many_o that_o will_v be_v willing_a to_o give_v some_o part_n of_o their_o good_n to_o the_o poor_a before_o their_o death_n as_o zaccheus_n do_v but_o that_o they_o know_v not_o what_o need_v themselves_o may_v have_v thereof_o before_o they_o die_v and_o therefore_o for_o the_o most_o part_n they_o will_v hardly_o forsake_v or_o leave_v their_o good_n till_o their_o good_n forsake_v and_o leave_v they_o but_o herein_o they_o show_v themselves_o to_o doubt_v of_o god_n providence_n and_o as_o it_o be_v to_o distrust_v of_o his_o payment_n who_o have_v promise_v to_o repay_v what_o soever_o be_v give_v unto_o the_o poor_a as_o if_o it_o be_v lend_v unto_o himself_o &_o that_o not_o secret_o though_o they_o do_v their_o alm_n never_o so_o secret_o but_o 17._o the_o lord_n will_v reward_v they_o open_o as_o our_o saviour_n speak_v math_n 6._o the_o wise_a preacher_n 11._o eccle._n 11._o will_v we_o to_o cast_v our_o bread_n upon_o the_o water_n that_o be_v to_o be_v liberal_a to_o the_o poor_a who_o watery_a eye_n bewray_v their_o great_a necessity_n or_o as_o other_o expound_v it_o to_o hazard_v &_o adventure_v some_o of_o our_o good_n upon_o our_o needy_a brethren_n as_o merchant_n do_v adventure_v their_o good_n upon_o the_o sea_n for_o although_o they_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v in_o great_a peril_n &_o danger_n of_o perish_v in_o the_o water_n yet_o common_o it_o fall_v out_o that_o by_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n they_o return_v with_o far_o great_a profit_n so_o albeit_o the_o relief_n that_o be_v bestow_v upon_o our_o distress_a neighbour_n may_v seem_v to_o be_v lose_v yet_o as_o the_o wise_a man_n say_v after_o a_o time_n we_o shall_v find_v it_o again_o and_o as_o the_o precious_a oil_n descend_v from_o aaron_n beard_n to_o the_o 133._o skirt_n of_o his_o clothing_n so_o certain_o the_o oil_n of_o mercy_n &_o charity_n which_o we_o pour_v into_o the_o wound_n of_o our_o distress_a brethren_n shall_v descend_v into_o our_o own_o soul_n and_o as_o the_o widow_n 10._o oil_n be_v increase_v in_o the_o cruse_a because_o she_o relieve_v the_o lord_n prophet_n so_o 17._o shall_v this_o precious_a oil_n bestow_v upon_o the_o poor_a be_v return_v upon_o our_o head_n in_o great_a measure_n thus_o be_v zaccheus_n liberal_a as_o you_o see_v for_o he_o give_v away_o half_a his_o good_n but_o he_o give_v it_o not_o to_o the_o rich_a that_o may_v give_v to_o he_o again_o but_o he_o give_v it_o to_o the_o poor_a that_o can_v requite_v he_o to_o teach_v we_o upon_o who_o we_o shall_v bestow_v our_o alm_n as_o god_n that_o be_v rich_a in_o mercy_n give_v all_o thing_n unto_o we_o that_o can_v requite_v he_o so_o the_o rich_a man_n of_o this_o world_n if_o they_o have_v any_o spark_n of_o mercy_n in_o they_o shall_v give_v unto_o the_o poor_a that_o can_v requite_v they_o but_o among_o we_o in_o every_o place_n almost_o it_o be_v far_o otherwise_o for_o if_o any_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v give_v not_o they_o that_o be_v poor_a and_o stand_v in_o great_a need_n but_o they_o that_o can_v make_v best_a friend_n
