In divers places; some from their ships, other from their shops. Peter and Andrew fishing on the sea, Matthew fishing on the land. It is a great matter to convert a mariner forth of his ship: but a greater wonder to convert a Publican forth of his shop. Some from the market, Matth. 20.3. some from the hedges, Luke 14.23. Paul in his fury. Acts 9.1. breathing out threatenings and slaughter: Henry 8. in his discontent: the Pope denies his just divorce, hereon he justly denies the Pope. Let none despair; he can call Gallants at the Court, Ruffians at the Tavern, covetous merchants at their warehouses; yea he can call usurers at their banks. But indeed these last he seldom does call; those baptised Jews seldom repent. You have seen drunkards, thieves, and adulterers weep at a Sermon; you never saw an usurer shed a tear.
