grievous_a not_o a_o few_o but_o infinite_a not_o past_a but_o present_a not_o secret_a but_o presumptuous_a against_o thy_o express_a word_n &_o will_n against_o our_o own_o conscience_n knowledge_n

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

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 grieve_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 jew_n acts._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 man_n if_o it_o be_v the_o office_n of_o christ_n to_o convert_v sinner_n why_o 13_o shall_v the_o pharisy_n be_v offend_v at_o he_o if_o he_o be_v sometime_o conversant_a with_o sinner_n to_o work_v their_o conversion_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 13_o that_o be_v to_o save_v the_o people_n from_o their_o sin_n why_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 recoverye_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 to_o sick_a person_n be_v not_o straight_o way_n infect_v so_o the_o soul_n physician_n that_o converse_v with_o sinner_n be_v not_o thereby_o pollute_v and_o therefore_o as_o christ_n perform_v his_o office_n though_o the_o pharisy_n murmur_v so_o let_v the_o minister_n of_o god_n learn_v by_o his_o example_n to_o perform_v their_o duty_n though_o the_o wicked_a be_v offend_v it_o be_v the_o office_n of_o christ_n to_o call_v sinner_n to_o repentance_n yea_o he_o come_v to_o call_v pharisie_n sinner_n aswell_o as_o publican_n sinner_n if_o the_o pharisy_n will_v have_v confess_v themselves_o to_o be_v sinner_n as_o the_o publican_n do_v but_o because_o they_o 18_o stand_v so_o much_o upon_o their_o own_o righteousness_n and_o despise_v other_o therefore_o christ_n denounce_v so_o many_o woe_n against_o they_o and_o prefer_v the_o penitent_a publican_n that_o trust_v 23_o in_o the_o lord_n mercy_n before_o the_o proud_a pharisie_n that_o trust_v in_o his_o own_o merit_n though_o paul_n be_v a_o pharisie_n and_o 6_o the_o son_n of_o a_o pharisie_n yet_o he_o shame_v not_o to_o confess_v himself_o one_o of_o the_o chief_a sinner_n which_o christ_n come_v to_o save_v so_o if_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 keep_v 15_o 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 prover._n 18_o be_v the_o first_o accuser_n of_o himself_o but_o the_o pharisy_n be_v so_o far_o from_o accuse_v of_o themselves_o that_o they_o begin_v to_o accuse_v zaccheus_n and_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 themselves_o only_o to_o be_v righteous_a in_o so_o much_o as_o they_o will_v not_o stick_v to_o speak_v like_o that_o proud_a people_n that_o be_v wont_a to_o say_v depart_v from_o i_o for_o i_o be_o holy_a than_o thou_o &_o like_o that_o presumptuous_a pharisic_n luk._n 18._o i_o thank_v god_n i_o be_o not_o as_o other_o be_v extortioner_n usurer_n adulterer_n drunkard_n

i_o pay_v this_fw-mi which_o other_o withhold_v and_o fast_o oftentimes_o which_o they_o do_v seldom_o or_o never_o these_o be_v the_o speech_n of_o the_o pharisy_n that_o live_v in_o the_o time_n of_o christ_n who_o he_o 27_o so_o often_o call_v hypocrite_n and_o these_o be_v the_o speech_n of_o the_o hypocrite_n of_o our_o age_n that_o seem_v to_o live_v after_o the_o straight_a 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 justify_v themselves_o and_o seem_v marvellous_a holy_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o man_n which_o can_v discern_v by_o the_o outward_a appearance_n only_o but_o unto_o god_n that_o see_v and_o search_v the_o secret_n of_o the_o heart_n &_o reins_n they_o appear_v like_o paint_a tomb_n full_a of_o dead_a man_n bone_n and_o all_o filthiness_n that_o be_v they_o have_v their_o inward_a part_n full_a of_o raven_a and_o all_o kind_n of_o wickedness_n wherefore_o as_o christ_n say_v to_o his_o disciple_n except_o your_o righteousness_n exceed_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisy_n you_o can_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o 20_o heaven_n so_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o that_o except_o your_o righteousness_n exceed_v the_o righteousness_n of_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 the_o general_a name_n of_o sinner_n as_o though_o they_o themselves_o be_v free_a from_o sin_n thus_o the_o papist_n at_o this_o day_n do_v use_v to_o call_v the_o most_o sincere_a professor_n of_o the_o gospel_n not_o lutheran_n caluinist_n zwinglians_n or_o protestant_n as_o they_o be_v wont_a to_o call_v they_o but_o now_o they_o term_v we_o heretic_n a_o name_n more_o odious_a than_o any_o other_o whereas_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n they_o themselves_o be_v of_o all_o other_o the_o great_a heretic_n so_o the_o atheist_n of_o our_o time_n when_o they_o can_v accuse_v the_o godly_a that_o be_v among_o we_o of_o usury_n or_o bribery_n or_o extortion_n or_o drunkenness_n or_o any_o such_o notorious_a sin_n they_o call_v 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
