Luke13:29
29 And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.
We have the same Matth. 8.11, 12. only he saith, only from the East, and from the West. See the Notes there, wailing, and gnashing of teeth, are usual expressions by which the pains of the Damned are expressed, especially by the Evangelist Matthew, ch. 8.12. ch. 13.42.50. ch. 22.13. ch. 24.51. ch. 25.30. One cause of this vexation of Spirit expressed under this Notion, is the Jews sight of the rest and happiness that their Relations, nay some to whom they upon Earth were Enemies, should enjoy in Heaven. Nay which some which were Heathens should enjoy there, when as they took themselves to be the only Church, and to have the same right to the Kingdom of Heaven, that Children have to the Inheritances of their Father, should he cast out, as having no portion there.
