they_o hypocrite_n which_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o all_o when_o as_o in_o very_a truth_n they_o themselves_o do_v best_o deserve_v that_o name_n but_o it_o make_v no_o matter_n what_o they_o call_v we_o neither_o be_v we_o to_o be_v move_v at_o their_o despiteful_a speech_n for_o as_o the_o bitter_a taunt_n of_o these_o murmur_a pharisy_n can_v not_o hinder_v zaccheus_n in_o his_o conversion_n so_o the_o slander_n of_o these_o godless_a man_n must_v not_o discourage_v the_o servant_n of_o god_n from_o their_o good_a profession_n the_o pharisy_n do_v zaccheus_n great_a wrong_n for_o call_v he_o sinner_n when_o he_o have_v repent_v of_o his_o sin_n and_o the_o atheist_n at_o this_o day_n do_v great_o wrong_v the_o true_a professor_n in_o call_v they_o hypocrite_n which_o have_v true_o repent_v of_o their_o former_a sin_n and_o endeavour_n by_o all_o good_a mean_n to_o lead_v a_o godly_a life_n therefore_o as_o zaccheus_n prefer_v his_o soul_n health_n before_o all_o their_o murmur_a so_o it_o behoove_v we_o to_o look_v to_o our_o soul_n salvation_n notwithstanding_o all_o the_o reproach_n and_o slander_n that_o be_v devise_v against_o us._n and_o as_o the_o pharise_n may_v call_v zaccheus_n sinner_n but_o can_v not_o hinder_v his_o conversion_n so_o the_o malicious_a worldling_n may_v take_v away_o our_o good_n our_o good_a name_n yea_o and_o our_o life_n also_o but_o can_v deprive_v we_o of_o our_o salvation_n wherefore_o as_o our_o saviour_n say_v to_o his_o apostle_n fear_v not_o they_o that_o can_v kill_v the_o body_n and_o then_o can_v do_v no_o more_o so_o i_o 10._o math._n 10._o say_v unto_o you_o fear_v not_o the_o frown_n of_o the_o wicked_a for_o they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o hurt_v your_o better_a part_n seek_v not_o to_o gain_v the_o favour_n of_o the_o world_n for_o the_o whole_a world_n be_v not_o able_a to_o save_v a_o soul_n but_o fear_v to_o offend_v he_o that_o be_v able_a to_o destroy_v both_o body_n and_o soul_n in_o hell_n and_o seek_v to_o please_v he_o that_o be_v able_a to_o save_v they_o both_o in_o heaven_n for_o ever_o now_o follow_v a_o other_o fruit_n of_o zaccheus_n conversion_n namely_o his_o good_a confession_n for_o as_o he_o believe_v with_o his_o heart_n unto_o righteousness_n so_o he_o confess_v with_o 10._o rom._n 10._o 10._o the_o mouth_n unto_o salvation_n when_o zaccheus_n be_v mock_v of_o the_o pharise_n it_o seem_v that_o he_o shall_v stoop_v down_o for_o shame_n but_o when_o he_o be_v thus_o reproove_v and_o revile_v by_o they_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o he_o stand_v up_o in_o sign_n of_o gladness_n as_o the_o apostle_n go_v away_o rejoice_v that_o they_o be_v count_v worthy_a to_o suffer_v rebuke_n 5._o act_n 5._o 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 christ_n before_o zaccheus_n be_v a_o publican_n and_o therefore_o stand_v in_o sin_n very_o dangerous_o like_o the_o house_n that_o be_v build_v upon_o the_o sand_n ready_a to_o be_v overturn_v with_o every_o tempest_n but_o now_o zaccheus_n be_v become_v a_o true_a christian_n 46._o luke_n 6._o 46._o and_o therefore_o stand_v in_o righteousness_n very_o safe_o like_o the_o house_n that_o be_v build_v upon_o a_o rock_n 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

zaccheus_n be_v a_o oppressor_n of_o the_o poor_a now_o he_o be_v a_o great_a benefactor_n to_o the_o poor_a before_o he_o be_v a_o encrocher_n upon_o other_o man_n good_n now_o he_o be_v a_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 will_v to_o sell_v all_o that_o he_o have_v &_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 18._o luke_n 18._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 a_o willing_a mind_n but_o if_o he_o have_v give_v all_o 21._o luke_n 21._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 man_n yea_o or_o his_o body_n to_o be_v burn_v as_o some_o

the_o good_n of_o his_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 say_v that_o zaccheus_n have_v but_o it_o be_v a_o fruitful_a and_o lively_a 6._o

exercise_v in_o the_o work_n of_o mercy_n which_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o a_o lively_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 nahab_n and_o abihu_n offer_v

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 israelite_n to_o bring_v the_o price_n of_o the_o hire_n of_o a_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 and_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 &_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 we_o i_o know_v there_o will_v 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
