VERS. XV.

〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉.

But when his Disciples saw it, they rebuked them.

q 1.1 WIcked Israelites little ones shall not come into the world to come.—Wicked Hea∣thens little ones, all men confess, they shall not come into the world to come.—〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 From what time is a little Child capable of the world to come? R. Chaijah, and R. Simeon bar Rabbi, one of them saith, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 from the time wherein he is born. The other saith, from the time that he can speak—Rabbona saith, from the time it is begot.—Rabh Nachman bar Isaac saith, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 from the time he is Circumcised: R. Meir saith, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 from the time that he can answer, Amen.

Whether this question was handled in the Schools or no in the times of the Apostles, it is very probable, they took this bringing of little Children to Christ ill, because (if they might be judges) they were not capable of the Kingdom of Heaven. And indeed our Savi∣our's answer to them seems to favour this conjecture of ours: Is it so indeed, that you suppose such as these unfit and uncapable? I tell you that of such is the Kingdom of God.
