A setting of the parable of the pharisee and the publican, publ. Magdeburg, 1602.
Lyrics: Luke 18: 8-14

Jesus dixit ad quosdam qui in se confidebant quod essent justi, et aspernabantur cæteros parabolam istam:
Duo homines ascenderunt in templum ut precarentur: unus pharisæus et alter publicanus.
Pharisæus stans, hæc apud se orabat, dicens: Deus, gratias ago tibi, quia non sum sicut cæteri homines: raptores, injusti, adulteri, et sicut hic publicanus:
jejuno bis in sabbato, decimas do omnium quæ possideo.
Publicanus procul stans, nolebat nec oculos ad cælum attollere: sed percutiebat pectus suum, dicens: Deus, propitius esto mihi peccatori.
Dico enim vobis, descendit hic justificatus in domum suam magis quam ille: quia omnis qui se extollit, humiliabitur et qui se humiliat, extolletur.

Jesus spake also this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were just, and despised others.
Two men went up into the Temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a Publican.
The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, O God, I thank thee that I am not as other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this Publican.
I fast twice in the week: I give tithe of all that ever I possess.
But the Publican standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes to heaven, but smote his breast, saying, O God, be merciful to me a sinner.
I tell you, this man departed to his house, justified rather than the other: for every man that exalteth himself shall be brought low, and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
