Levies Feast: Concerning Fasting, &c.

MUch needeth not to be spoken concerning the order here. Why Levies, or Mat∣thews Call and feast are set together by all the Evangelists that speak of them, we have observed before, namely because they would dispatch the whole story of that man at once or alltogether: And that his call was at the place where we have laid it, the cur∣rent of the story thither confirmeth past denial. Likewise that his Feast must come in here, Matthews words, ver. 18. do make it plain: for he saith, that while Jesus was speaking those things concerning fasting, &c. Jairus came to him: whose coming the other two Evangelists have cleerly pitched in this place.

In Matthew the late Publicans house, when Christ is invited to dinner, many Publicans and Sinners sit down at meat with him, a thing as far contrary to the Pharisaical discipline as what was most contrary, for which the Pharisees challenge him and his Disciples. They looked upon Christ and his Disciples, as 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 men of Religion and Devotion, and there∣fore that ought to seperate themselves from the vulgar sort of people; especially from such as these were, of an infamous stamp and character: A Scholar of the wise, by their Canons, might not eat with one of the vulgar, much less with Publicans and Sinners, the worst sort of all the vulgar that were.
