'You don't take us into your confidence about your business affairs, so mind you keep out of ours. 'It's not only your affair, but concerns the whole village. 'No, it's nobody's but mine, snapped Gryb. 'It's mine just as much. 'That is not so! Gryb struck the table with his fist: if I don't like a man, he shan't buy, and there's an end of it. The publican smiled.
For take this for a truth undeniable, that he that thinks himself better before God, because of his reformations, never yet had the true knowledge of his sin: But the poor Publican he had it, he had it in truth, as is manifest, because it drives him to the only sovereign remedy.
Wherefore puttest thou thy hand in thy bosom, as being afraid to touch the hem of the garment of thy Lord? "God be merciful to me a sinner." Herein the publican showeth wonderful wisdom. For, By this he thrusts himself under the shelter and blessing of the promise; and I am sure it is better and safer to do so than to rely upon the best excellencies that this world can afford. Hosea 14: 1-4.
One or two rather large holes in the cinders were made, as the publican explained, by Crockett, in practicing getting off his mark. Behind these were several fresh tracks of spiked shoes. The tracks led up to within a couple of yards of the high fence bounding the ground, and there stopped abruptly and entirely.
The Publican, by the power of conviction, stoops to, and falleth under, the righteous sentence gone forth against him, that it might be also manifest, that what afterward he shall receive is of the mere grace and sovereign goodness of God. And indeed there is no way that doth more naturally tend to make this manifest than this.
They begged that the dog might have a single crumb from the table of his master; at another time, they were smiting their breasts by the side of the publican; at another, they were prodigals, hungry, naked, and far from their father's house; again, they sink in the sea, and cry out, "Lord save me, I perish;" again, poor, diseased, outcast lepers, they came to the great Physician for a cure.
There was at that time a certain atrabilious publican, called Philip Slaney, established in a shop nearly opposite the old turnpike. This man was not, when left to himself, immoderately given to drinking; but being naturally of a saturnine complexion, and his spirits constantly requiring a fillip, he acquired a prodigious liking for Bob Martin's company.
We shall come down from the tree wi' Zaccheus; and if time permits, "'Fourth. We shall be going home wi' the publican." It seemed only just to pay a tribute at this point to the wonderful presence of mind Mrs. Macfadyen had shown amid unparalleled difficulties. "Hoot awa," she responded; the meenut ony heads cam a' knew ma grund: but the times atween I wes fairly lost.
The miller and his wife were mightily astonished and even more pleased. They thought it a very good thing that they should have opened their inn. 'You see, the old man would remark, 'he has a kind of talent for a publican; he never would have made anything else! And so life wagged on in the valley, with high satisfaction to all concerned but Will.
As David said, "Against thee, thee only have I sinned": and I might say with the poor publican, "God be merciful unto me a sinner." For I must say with him, "Father, I have sinned against Heaven and in thy sight."
