John Trapp on Matthew 21:31

Verse 31.

But [illegible: 1 word] proud Pharisees hated to be in the same heaven with penitent Publicans. And, as Quintilian said of some in his time, that they might have proved excellent scholars, had they not been so perswaded of their own scholarship already. In like [illegible: 1 word], these over-weeners of themselves might have had place in heaven, had they not taken up their [illegible: 1 word] in heaven afore-hand.
