Again, as Christ said to Zaccheus, To day I must abide at thy house: So Christ saith to us, To day my poor afflicted members should receive some succour at your hands. But as the Priest and the Levite, Luke 10. passed by the wounded man leaving him half dead, so we (for the most part) pass by our needy brethren, leaving them unrelieved. Thus are we every way disobedient to the ⟨image 12⟩voice of Christ. He teacheth us to be humble as he himself is, Matth. 11. 29. and we wax proud and insolent as Satan is. He willeth us to be merciful, as our heavenly Father is, Luke 6. 36. and we are cruel and unmerciful, as the rich Glutton was, Luke 16. This is the cause why the earth deceiveth and rendereth not her fruit, Isaiah 24. 5. This is the cause why the sword devoureth abroad, and the pestilence destroyeth at home, Deut. 28. 15. Levit. 26. 24. 25. and in a word, this is the cause of all the mischiefs and calamities that are threatened, even because we are obstinate and rebellious against the Lord, we are undutiful and disobedient to the voice of Christ, that calleth us so lovingly to come unto him, Math. 11. 28.

But as the Priest and the Leuite, Luke 10. passed by the wounded man leauing him halfe dead, so we (for the most part) passe by our needy brethren, leauing them vnreliued. Thus are we euery way disobedient to the ⟨image 12⟩voice of Christ. He teacheth vs to be humble as he himselfe is,
