MARITANS.
Ce Authors alcribe the Original of this Se&, to one
a Difeiple of Antizonus Soch&eus. who fre'uentlv


inculcated it on his Scholars, That God is to be ferved
for himteIfi and not out of View to any Reward to be
received from him in the next World, as Slaves Ierve
their Maaders merely for Reconlpence. Sadcc, add they,
putting a falfe Interpretation on thefe Words ot his
Malter, publiflied, Thar there was no Reward to befall
good A&ions done in this World. And hence arofe the
Se3 of Saducfes, thus denominated from their Leader
sodoc. St. Epiphanius, and Come modern Writers after
him, take the Sadlucees to have been thus called from
the Jfebret', Sadic Jut+, or Sedec Jultice, in Regard of
tne great Juflice thty lhewed in all their Adtions.
'Tis obcrv'd, Ails xxiii. 8. that the Sadzicues fay, There
is no Reiurredion, neither any Angel or Spirit; but that
the TPkartejes believe both the one and the other.
Thefe Words, Yte one ani the other, feem to infinuate,
That Angel and Spirit are one and the fame Thing.
But as the Apofiles, oblerves Oecurmenizis on that Paffage,
don't always ufe the exac'ed Terms', one may underqand
by SPirit, all Spiritual Sublfances ; as if the Saitucees had
believed that God hiniftif was a Body. This, howe-
ver, is not Oecitme7nus's Opinion. He asks, Why the
Scripture fays, Ike one and the other, tho' it fpoke of
Three Things, Refurreflion, Angel, and Spirit? And he
anfivers, That 'tis either becaute Angel and Spirit are
the lame thing; or that one and the other, which
is only properly underffood of Two Thingsi is, perhaps,
here f'poke of Three: Exaft Propriety of Words not being
to be required in Books wrote by fimple illiterate
Fifhermen. 'Tis true, in explaining what goes before,
he oblerves, That the Sadacees, being very ignorant,
might polibly disbelieve the Exiflence of a God, and
on that Account, might be reprefented as denying a Rev
furredtion, &c. But he does not fay. that by Spirit,
they might mean all Spiritual Subflance. 'Tis probable,
all meant by it, is the Immortality of the Soul ; it
being the Opinion of the Sa ucees, That there is no-
thing immortal in Man. 'Tis certain, they denied all
Refurredtion, and allowed of no Hmppinefs but what is
enjoyed  in this Life ; believing, that every Thing
told of the other World, had been invented by the Pha-
rifees. Hence, alfo, they denied a Divine Providence,
and attributed all Things to Free Will; in which, they
oppofed the Opinion of the Pharifees, who admitted a
kind of Deffiriy or Fatality in all our Actions. See
PHABISFEC.
