〈◊〉 〈◊〉 So Luke 5. 5. So Mat. 4. 3. 5. Of the Parable of the strange Sheep found or the Joy for the repenting Sinner Mat. 18. 12. and Luke 15. 7. If a Man hath an hundred Sheep and one of them be gone astray doth he not leave the ninety and nine and go into the Mountains and seek that which is gone astray and when he hath found it he rejoyceth more over that Sheep than over the 99 which went not astray And St. Luke addeth That Joy shall likewise be in Heaven over one Sinner that repenteth more than over ninety nine just Persons which need no Repentance This stray Sheep is the unrepenting Sinner the finding of him is his returning by Repentance the Joy is in Heaven before God and his Angels for his Repentance All this Luke 15. 10. expounds thus Likewise I say unto you that there is Joy in the presence of the Angels of God over one Sinner that repenteth and lastly Vers. 1 2. he shews the occasion of the Parable viz. The murmuring of the Scribes and Pharisees against Christ This Man receiveth Sinners and eateth with them which thing they despised And therefore Matthew saith 18. 10. Take heed ye despise not one of these little ones the repenting Sinner viz. and then tells the Parable that their Conversion is to be joyed at and not to be despised Maymon in his Tractate of Repentance Cap. 7. § 4. openeth all this excellently Let not a Man that is a true Repentant think that he is far from the Dignity of the Righteous because of the Iniquities and Sins that he hath committed The matter is not so but he is beloved and one that the Creator takes Joy in as if he had never sinned and not that only but his Reward is great for he hath tasted the taste of Sin but now he hath left it and subdued his ill Affection The wise have said the place in which true repentant Sinners stand the most perfect righteous Men are not able to stand therein that is to say That their Dignity is greater than the Dignity of these righteous Ones who have never sinned because that they have subdued their Affections or Concupiscenses more than these And in the same Chap. § 8. he saith that it was accounted an absolute Sin for any one to say unto a true penitent Sinner Remember thy first Works c. Kimchy on the 57th of Esay vers 19. on these words Peace Peace to him that is a far off and to him that is near comments thus By him that it far off is meant the Sinner that repents and by him that is near the Righteous And from this place they have taught and said The Sinners that repent are greater than the Righteous as is said to him that is far off and to him that is nigh first to him that is far off then to him that is nigh By far off is meant that was far off but now is become nigh and by nigh is meant he that was nigh already Kimchy that is as St. Paul expounds Esay's words both to Jew and Gentile Ephes. 2. 17. He preached Peace to you which were far off and to them that were nigh and vers 13. the Gentiles viz. which were sometimes far off are now nigh as Christ saith Publicans and Sinners shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven before the Scribes and Pharisees And Maymon opens his meaning more fully Repent Cap. 7. § 6. Sin is of a separating nature your Sins have made a partition between you and me but Repentance is of a conjoyning and uniting nature making the Sinner to day nigh unto God who yesterday was far off 6. Mat. 22. 30. Luke 20. 35. Mark 12. 25. In the Resurrectin they neither marry nor are given in Marriage but are like unto the Angels of God in Heaven Maymon in his 8 Chap. of the Tract of Repentance Sect. 2. saith That the first wise Men have said there is not in the World to come neither eating nor drinking nor use of Marriage-bed but the Righteous sit with their Crowns on their Heads enjoying the glorious splendor of the Divine Majesty and are like unto the Ministring Angels It is worth observing how that Christ confutes the Errors of the Sadduces who thought there was no Resurrection out of the ancient sayings of their own Talmudical Doctors And Maymon gives the reason of this Apothegm There is no eating nor drinking in the World to come Ergo they neither marry nor are given in Marriage Thus it is observable how Christ disputing against the Jews about the Resurrection doth prove the Resurrection out of the sayings of their own Talmudicks and in proving it he doth approve those sayings and in approving them doth reprove the Sadduces for denying it 7. Of eating drinking and feasting in Heaven and such-like speeches Mat. 26. 29. Mar. 14. 25. Luke 22. 18. Christ saith Now I tell you from henceforth I will not drink of this fruit of the Vine until that day when I shall drink it new with you in the Kingdom of my Father And Mat. 18. 11. And I say unto you that many shall come from the East and from the West and shall sit down in the Kingdom of Heaven with Abraham Isaac and Jacob. Maymon in his Tractate of Repentance cap. 8. sect 2 4. opens this and the like speeches unto us saying In the World to come there is neither eating nor drinking nor any one thing of the things which happen unto Bodies in this World Again Everlasting Life is called by eleven names in the Old Testament parabolically which he there reckons up And the Wise-Men have called it metaphorically by two that is 1. The World to come 2. That good Feast or Banquet that is prepared for the Righteous These two last we find in the New Testament Mark 10. 30. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and in the places afore alledged whereas they have said saith Maymon that the Righteous do sit by way of Aenigma or Riddle they have said it meaning that the Souls of the Righteous are found there without Labour Molestation or Weariness 8. Of Forgiveness of Sins neither in this World nor the World to come Mat. 12. 32. Blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall never be forgiven in this World nor in the World to come i. e. shall never have forgiveness 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 but is guilty of eternal Damnation as St. Mark expounds the Hebraism cap. 3. 29. Mat. 18. 18. Whatsoever ye bind on Earth shall be bound in Heaven and whatsoever ye loose on Earth shall be loosed in Heaven Maymon in his Tractate of Repent cap. 6. § 1. hath the like Speech There is a Sin which is punished in this World and not in the World to come there is a Sin which is punished in the World to come and not in this World and there is a Sin which is punished both in this World and in the World to come 9. Acts 1. 6. Wilt thou at
