Satan for his part, went about like a roaring Lyon, ¹seeking to devour him, but Christ for his part,² goeth about like a good Shepherd, ⟨image 10⟩minding to save him.³ And although Satan a strong armed man, had taken some possession in the heart of Zaccheus, yet Christ a stronger then he, cometh unarmed, and taketh from him his harness wherein he trusted, and rescueth the spoil.
