I thank God, saith he, I am no extortioner, no drunkard, no adulterer; I am not this nor that: the Pharisee▪ was a man that never broke out into scandalous sins; what was the conclusion? saith Christ, that he that justified himself was not justified; but the Publican was justified rather then the Pharisee: the Publican that had fallen into extortion, by his office he was tempted unto much extortion, he was a wicked liver, and yet went away justified.
