The same God to whose command the winds, the sea, the devils, and death it self obey, here commandeth ¹Zaccheus to come down at once, and he cometh down hastily to receive him into his house, and he receiveth him joyfully. As Zaccheus could not come at Christ till he was called, so no man can come to Christ ²except the Father draw him: And as Zaccheus could not choose but come, when he was called by the voice of Christ, so when any man is called effectually by the preaching of the Gospel, he cannot choose but come to Christ: for where there is an effectual calling, there is grace given also to obey the same, Rom. 8. 30. The Lord is fain sometime to call us often, because we know not the voice of him that calleth us, as he called Samuel three times before he answered; because at that time Samuel knew not the Lord, 1. Sam. 3. 7. But as soon as he understood that it was the Lord that spake unto him, he replied presently, Speak on Lord, for thy servant heareth. So when the Lord calleth any man effectually by the preaching of his word, all the parts and powers of his body do yield their obedience, the care listeneth, the tongue confesseth, the heart believeth, the head deviseth, the hand performeth, the foot runneth, the eye directeth, and all concur To do thy will O God, P. salme. 40. 7.

As Zaccheus could not come at Christ till he was called, so no man can come to Christ ²except the Father draw him: And as Zaccheus could not choose but come, when he was called by the voice of Christ, so when any man is called effectually by the preaching of the Gospel, he cannot choose but come to Christ: for where there is an effectuall calling, there is grace giuen also to obey the same,
