1. The Time. In Matth. 8. 19. 'Tis when Christ had a mind to retire, and had declared his purpose to go into the Desert. In Luke, when he steadfastly set his Face to go to Jerusalem: Both may agree; the one more immediately, the other more remotely; first to the Desert, ⟨p. 318⟩then to Jerusalem. About that time, a certain Man seeing Christ about to remove from the place where he then was, offereth himself to be one of his Disciples. This certain Man is by St. Matthew said to be a Scribe. Men of that Rank and Order, had usually a Male Talent against the Gospel, and are frequently coupled with the Pharisees, Men covetous, and of a bitter Spirit. This Man seeing Christ did great Miracles, and hoping that he would set up a Temporal Kingdom, he puts in for a place betimes, that he might share in the Honours of it.
