When Jobs three friends that came to visit him in his ¹great calamity lift up their eyes a far off, they knew not Job, because he was so sore afflicted. But Christ who is the mirror of true friendship, cannot so soon forget his friends, howsoever they be disguised. He knoweth his own sheep wheresoever he seeth them, Joh. 10. whether ⟨image 8⟩they be under the Fig-tree, as Nathaniel was, or upon the Fig tree, as Zaccheus was, he hath respect unto them. And if they have a desire to seek they shall be sure to find, Math. 7. And if they labour & are heavy laden, he will refresh them, Math. 11. Christ is now come to the place where Zaccheus is to be called; and as Abraham, Gen. 22. lift up his eyes and saw in the bush a ram that was to be sacrificed, so Christ lifting up his eyes, saw in the tree. Zaccheus the sinner that was to be converted. And now begins the conversion of Zaccheus, for now Christ begins to speak unto him.
