Of the Stars with their orbes and sphaeres the Hebrew Doctors write thus The sphaeres are called Heavens and the Out-spred firmament c. and there are nine sphaeres that which is nearest unto us is called the sphaere of the Moone and the next above it is the sphaere wherein is the Starre called Cocab or Mercurie And the third sphaere is that wherein Nogah or Venus is The fourth sphaere hath in it the Sunne the sift Maadim or Mars the sixt hath in it the starre Tsedek or Iupiter the seventh Shabthat or Saturne and the eighth sphaere hath in it all the other starres that are seene in the firmament The ninth sphaere is that which turneth about every day from the east to the west and it compasseth all ron●● about c. The starres that are all in that one 〈◊〉 sphaere although they be one above another yet because the sphaeres are pure and cleare as chrystall and as Saphire therefore the starres in the eighth sphaere are seene underneath the first sphaere c. None of the sphaeres are either light or heauy or coloured redl or blacke or of any other colour and whereas wee see them of a blew colour it is onely to the appearance of the eye by reason of the height of the ayre Also they have neither tast nor smell because these accidents have no place but in bodies that are beneath them Maimony in Misn. treat Iesudei hatorah chapt 3. sect 1. 3.

it is a Sin offring And the Priest shall take of the blood of the Sin offring with his finger and put it upon the hornes of the altar of Burnt-offring and shall poure his blood at the bottome of the altar of Burnt-offring And all his fat he shall burne vpon the altar as the fat of the sacrifice of Peace-offrings and the Priest shall make-an-atonement for him concerning his sinne and it shall bee mercifully-forgiven him And if one soule sinne through ignorance of the people of the land while it doth any one of the commandements of Iehovah which should not bee done and bee guilty Or if his sinne bee made knowne unto him which he hath sinned then hee shall bring his oblation a she-goat of the goats perfect a female for his sinne which he hath sinned And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the Sin offring and he shall kill the Sin offring in the place of the Burnt-offring And the Priest shall take of the blood thereof with his finger and put it upon the hornes of the altar of Burnt-offring and all the blood thereof he shal poure at the bottome of the altar And he shall take away all the fat thereof as the fat is taken away from off the sacrifice of Peace-offrings and the Priest shall burne it upon the altar for a favour of rest unto Iehovah and the Priest shall make an atonement for him and it shall be mercifully forgiven him And if he bring a Lambe for his oblation for a Sinne offring hee shall bring it a female perfect And he shall lay his hand up-the head of the Sinne offring and hee shall kill it for a Sinne offring in the place where he killeth the Burnt-offering And the priest shall take the blood of the Sin offring with his finger and put it upon the hornes of the altar of Burnt-offring and shall poure all the blood thereof at the bottome of the altar And he shall take away all the fa● therof as the fat of the lamb is taken away from the sacrifice of the Peace-offrings and the Priest shall burne them upon the altar according to Iehovahs Fire offrings and the priest shall make-an-atonement for him for his sin which he hath finned and it shall be mercifully-forgiven him Annotations A Soule that is a person or man as the Chaldee translateth it when it shall sin or if it sin Whereas he had taught the justification and sanntification of the Church by the former sacrifices and how men ought to walke in newnesse of life now because there is not a just man upon earth that doth good and sinneth not Eccles. 7. 20. but in many things we offend all Iam. 3. 2. the Lord appointed meanes for the cleansing of his Church and all the members thereof from the infirmities errors and ignorant sins which they fall into But if wee sinne wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth there remaineth no more sacrifice for sinnes but a certaine fearfull looking for of judgment and fiery indignation which shall devoure the adversaries or enemies of the Lord Heb 10. 26. 27. Esay 26. 10. 11. through ignorance or in errour unawares by unadvisednesse Shegagah the word here used signifieth errour or going astray out of the right way through ignorance or forgetfulnes or unadvisednesse or by being deceived or the like The Greek somtime turneth it Agnoia Ignorance but here and often translateth it Acousios unwillingly which is contrary to that which the Apostle calleth Heconsios willingly or wilfully Heb. 10. 16. contrary also to that which the law calleth sinning with an high hand or presumptuously Num. 15. 27. 30. We may see the meaning openly by Moses in Numb 35. 11. where he speaketh of killing a person by errour or unawares which in Deut. 19. 4. is said to be ignorantly or without knowledge and both are joyned together in Ios. 20. 3. unawares or by errour and without knowledge or unweetingly whereto is opposed a lying in wait that is a purpose and willingnesse to kill him Deut. 19. 11. Exodus 21. 13. The Apostle likewise calleth such sinnes Agnoemata Errors-done-of-ignorance in Heb. 9. 7. and more fully openeth it by two words in Heb. 5. 3. shewing the Priests dutie to have compassion on the ignorant and on them that erre So that these ignorances or errours were misdeeds arising from errour of the mind or of the affections when men did either not know or understand the Law aright or not remember or take heed thereto as they ought when they knew not the nature of sinne or considered not how loathsome it was unto God but were overtaken and miscaried by their errours or lusts such are to be restored in the spirit of meeknesse Gal. 6. 1. for such God appointed sacrifices but for presumptuous wilful malicious sinnes men were to be cut off Numb 15. 27. 30. These Errours or Ignorances are such and so many as no man can understand Psal. 19. 13. and God both cleanseth us of them by the sacrifice of Christ Hebr. 10. 10. 12. and restraineth us from them by afflictions Psal. 119. 67. and warneth us to take heed of them lest he be angry and destroy the worke of our hands Eccles. 5. 6. And whereas there followeth a law in Lev. 5. 17. for sinnes not knowne the Hebrewes put this difference Shegagah an errour or sinne through ignorance is when hee knoweth certainly that hee hath done the thing but he did it in errour or unadvisedly but he that knoweth not is hee that is uncertaine whether hee did the thing or no. Talmud Bab. in Cherethoth and Maimonie in his explanations on the same ch 1. of all understand by doing any one of all the commandements So Moses himselfe explaineth it in the words here following and in ver 13. 22. 27 commandements or charges meaning prohibitions or forbodes For God commandeth both to eschew evill and to doe good and most of the ten commandements Exod. 20. are forbiddings of sinne And thus the holy Ghost useth the word both wayes as Take heed c. lest ye make you the likenes of any thing which Iehovah thy God hath commanded that is forbidden thee Deut. 4. 23. And contrariwise in Deut. 17. 3. hath served other Gods c. which I have not commanded to wit to be done Hereupon the Hebrew Doctors Maimony and others divide the lawes into Commandements to be done and Commandements which should not bee done The Commandements given by Moses they have summed up in all to be six hundred and thirteene of them they make affirmative precepts of things to be done two hundred fourty and eight so many as they say there are bones in a mans body of negative precepts or prohibitions three hundred sixty and five so many as there are dayes in the yeere should not the Greeke translateth it ought not To these prohibitions the Hebrew doctors doe restraine this law saying They bring no Sinne-offring but for ignorance in doing that
