The sin of Sycophancy, rendered false-accusing, forbidden by John Baptist, and repented of by Zachaeus, comes from shewing of figs; which some refer to the story of Aesop, who being traduced by his guilty fellow servants for eating up his Masters figs, and unable through an impediment in his speech to vindicate himself by drinking warm water in his Masters sight, did clear not onely his stomach, but his innocence; the colloguing Informers being made to pledg him in the same liquor, discharge both their stomach of the figs, and Aesop of the crime; whence the flattering false accuser was first call'd Sycophant. Others refer it to the Athenian Informers set on work for discovery of such as exported that kind of fruit, contrary to Law, who for lucre oft times would accuse the innocent. |
