Epaphroditus. You •pake of the lost shepe also.
Phile. Truth.1 Blessed Luke telleth the parable on this manner. What man of you having an C. sheep (if he lose one of them) ⟨p. 104⟩doeth not leave ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders with joy. And as soon as he cometh home he calleth together his lovers and neighbours, saying unto them: rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost. Hereof our saviour Christ concludeth: I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more then over ninety & nine just persons, which need no repentance. This parable with the other of the woman that lost a groat, setteth forth marvellously the loving kindness of Christ toward penitent sinners. For of that he also concludeth and saith: Likewise I say unto you, shall there be joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner ⟨p. 105⟩that repenteth.
