To be revealed not yet revealed, the Jews must first reject him before the Gentiles receive ⟨p. 53⟩him and when the Jews did oppress him, condemn him, and crucify him, then were his arms spread unto the whole world. When the guests would not come, then he sendeth into the high ways to compel others that would come willingly unto it. 1Comfort is on foot, and that which will come shall come, &c. The Queen of Saba 2came from the uttermost part of the earth to hear Solomons wisdom, and the wise men came from the East to see Jesus Christ, 3but we may say, the Lord was here by in the Temple and I was in my shop, selling and buying lying, deceiving & swearing. Well, when he comes back again I will be better acquainted with him: and so we esteem not of his presence in any reverent sort. The Sunamite said, Let us build a chamber for 4the man of God, then we should build an house. Zacheus did climb up into a tree to 5see his saviour, and the Lord seeing his diligence called him, Zaoheus come down, for I will dine at thy house this day, & that was a joyful day with Zaoheus, for then salvation came into his house and upon all his family: he gave the Lord a feast, and the Lord made him a far better feast of peace, a feast of joy, a feast of heavenly things, and so for his zeal and endeavour to see Christ bodily, he ⟨p. 54⟩showed him self unto him spiritually, even to his hearts desire. To be revealed.
To be reuealed not yet reuealed, the Iewes must first reiect him before the Gentiles receiue ⟨p. 53⟩him and when the Iewes did oppresse him, condemne him, and crucifie him, then were his armes spred vnto the whole world. When the guests would not come, then he sendeth into the high wayes to compell others that would come willingly vnto it.
