How justly did thy prophet Jeremiah wonder at thy ¹humble poverty, saying; O thou hope of Israel, the Saviour thereof in the time of trouble, why art thou as a stranger in the Land, or as one that passeth by to tarry for a night? The Son of God vouchsafeth to come, and that unrequested to a sinful mans house; a special favour: but he di•d•••eth not to make his necessity known unto him; O strange humility! Here therefore appeareth the singular humanity and great humility of Christ to sinful men: he offereth himself to be their guest, if he find them willing to entertain him for their guest, And Zaccheus no doubt was willing to entertain him, for although Christ heard not the voice, yet he heard the affection of Zaccheus inviting him to dinner.
