the foresaid Captivity God remained with our Fathers in his Prophets Ieremie and others he gave them Salathiel for a Leader or Captain they had both Princes and Priests which went with them out of Babylon after the time of their repentance or doing Penance was finisht and having got their God appeased they built Ierusalem the Temple and other Cities and the Lord powred upon them his mercie● plenteously In this our Captivitie all appears with a stranger face it is manifest that both God and Prophet hath forsaken us neither of these are with us Wherefore O Master this will I make my task I will exactly enquire and uncessantly search out what that great sin is which hath cast us into this thousand years slavery and more in which we are cloathed with desolation being without Prophet without King without Priest without Altar without Sacrifice without Oyntment without Incense without our Purifications yea in one word we have ingrossed to our selves the abhorring of God in heaven and the contempt and abomination of us with the whole world and all men on earth Yet for all this misery that reignes in our estate pride reignes in our heart in our own conceits we preferre our selves before all the world besides Concerning which thing what my judgement is O Master I will make known to thee Neverthelesse what ever fall out from God we cannot finally fall off CHAP. VI. What that sin is for which the Iews are in Captivitie NOw O my Master I am in great fear that that sin for which we are in this desolating Captivitie is that of which God speaks by his Prophet Amos saying For three transgressions of Iudah I will turn or translate Israel note that our Bibles have it I will turn away here he hath it I will transfer or translate and it is better so for his purpose and for the fourth I will not translate them because they sold the righteous for silver We indeed O Master according to our Doctrine make this righteous One to be Ioseph the son of Iacob who was sold by his Brethren into Aegypt and this would I hold for true also but that the Sacred Writ makes this sin of selling the fourth for number among the sins or transgressiōs of Israel The Christians themselves to whom the studie of Sacred Volumes seems to be delivered committed of God do answer to our foresaid interpretation that the selling of Ioseph by his Brethren is the first and not the fourth of Israels sins or transgressions The second sin they make the worshipping of the Calf in Horeb The third transgression is the slaughter of the Prophets for which we served as slaves seventy years in Babylon But the fourth transgression of Israel the selling of the Righteous this they say is plainly meant of JESUS who was according to the very letter sold after that aforesaid transmigration And we O Master if we mean to maintain as Authenticall our own Doctrine and stop the Christians mouthes with a sufficient answer this of us must be undertaken and made good that divers transgressions of Israels did precede this of Josephs selling so as to make it fall in the fourth number Which thing we cannot uphold the testimony of the Book of Genesis making sore against us which sets the selling of Joseph as the first transgression of the Children of Israel The Prophet Amos also expressely makes appear that the fourth sinne was the selling of the righteous One for which we have been Captives and of which the Lord with a fearfull Commination speaks that he will never bring us backe again into the Land of Promise saying And for the fourth I will not translate them because they sold the righteous for silver To me it is more then manifest that for the selling the Righteous the fourth sin we are righteously punisht and now more than a thousand years are past and gone in all which time we do no good nor prosper at all among the Gentiles nor remains there any hope that we shall do any good at all CHAP. VII That the Just Jesus the God of the Christians was unjustly sold A Marvellous horrour O Master hath surprized me and I quake to think that this Righteous one sold for silver according to the Prophet Amos is JESUS whom the Christians worship And further I fear that the testimonies which I meet withall in the Prophets are concerning him and the Christians in their Doctrine do very apertly and aptly apply them to him Esay the Prophet saith Ah sinfull nation a people laden with iniquity a seed of evill doers they have forsaken the Lord they have provoked the holy One of Israel to anger they are gone away backward The same Prophet saith As a sheep led to the slaughter is dumb so he opened not his mouth He saith hee was a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief he was despised of men and for this we esteemed him not he was offered up because so his will was He was taken from prison and judgement and who shall declare his generation For the transgression of my people have I smitten him and he made his grave with the wicked and with the rich in his death and he shall give those that injured him for his burying and the rich for his death I fear O Master that these injurious doers were our Fathers and these rich ones were Pilate and Herod Annas and Caiaphas according to that the Prophet David saith The Kings of the earth set themselves and the Rulers take counsell together against the Lord and against his Anointed By the Kings we understand the aforenamed by the Rulers our Fathers and Ancestors I fear O Master this JESUS is he who was sold and chopt and changed for Silver of whom Zacharie Amos and other Prophets write Of him Esay the Prophet speaks He bare the sinns of many and made intercession for the transgressours I fear O Master that this JESUS is that righteous One of whom David speaks They gather themselves together against the soule of the righteous and condemn the innocent blood and for this God shall cut them off yea the Lord our God shall cut them off Again I fear O Master JESUS is that Just One of whom Jeremie speaks saying He is the man and who is there that understands him or knows what he is In his Lamentations also The beautie of our countenance Christ our God was taken for our sins otherwise with us The breath of our nostrils the Anointed of the Lord was taken in their pits of whom we said Vnder his shadow we shall live among the heathen I fear this is that Just One of which Zacharie speaks It shall be said in that day VVhat are these wounds in thy hands And he shall answer Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends and my shepherd lift up his sword upon me With us it is Awake O sword against

which there were many as Abarbanel bar Abba ben Abraham c. It was expedient to have writ something about these things of persons and place lest it should be judged under the crime of negligence to let all slip without mentioning either head or feet of the body of the Translation and Book of which we were to give an account For the matter of the Book it deplores the Jews miserie their being banished and hated where ever they come and fathers all upon their crueltie in Crucifying Christ and their unbelief still denying to receive him and the Gospell Now if any ask what is their miserie and what is the cause I shall unfold it First there is the judgement of God upon them they prayed Christs blood might bee upon them and upon their Children it is so it follows and haunts them where ever they go few States and Kingdoms entertain them and where they are entertained they are kept under and made to endure very hard things the State serving their own ends by them In most places they use if Christians to distinguish them from others by place of dwelling by themselves and some distinctive habit as their own Chronologer tels us that at Vepice such a yeer the Jews were commanded to wear a yellow Hat that they might be known from Christians Our Samuel tels enough of this wrath of God that doggs them at the heels all over Now besides this great sinne of murdering Christ once they have other notorious vices that will make any Christian Commonwealth first or last vomit them out unlesse they leave their Jewish pranks Under Constantine they used to set upon those Jews with stones that had left them and turned Christians till the Emperour by Edict caused divers of them to be burnt and withall ●ppointed that if any Christians turned Jews ●hey should be burnt likewise Many of them ●ebelling he caused their ears to be cut off They used by craft and by coyne to buy and get of the consecrated bread which was left at 〈◊〉 Christmas Sacrament of the Lords-Supper ●nd prick it burne it and very basely and scornfully abuse it because they heard Christians call it the body of Christ There are ●wo notable stories of this the one in the reign of the Emperour Iustinian the other in Germany where the Jews for that villanie were ●ome of them burnt and tortured with hott Pincers others banished the Diocesse of the Bishop of Passaw You have the story short in these old Latin verses which as a Chronicle are set up in the Church Anno Milleno quadringen septuageno Octavo sub Vdalrico protoflamine claro Affecit flammâ Majestas Patavjensis Vrbis Judaeos tam tetro crimine mota Per quos heu summj transfixa est hostja Christi Extunc flagranti consumpta atrocius igni Sometimes they were accused for poysoning of Wells and Springs to make an end of Christians sometimes for beggering Christians by excessive Usurie and extortion sometimes for Clipping of Coyne for Magique for cozenage c. But their cursing of Christ and Christians their cursing of Jews that turn Christians their imprisoning of their dearest friends and laying some foul false accusation against them if they smell that they intend to turn Christians makes them oftentimes intolerable some of their Rabbies reading such Lectures as these A Jew may murder or slay a Baptized Jew without sin So much are they bent to shed the blood of Christians that they say a Jew needs no repentance for murdering a Christian and they add to that sinne to make it sweet and delectable that hee who doth it it is as if he had offered a Corban to the Lord. Hereby making the abominable sin an acceptable Sacrifice But beyond all these they have a bloody thirst after the blood of Christians In France and many Kingdomes they have used yearly to steale a Christians Boy and to Crucifie him fastning him to a Crosse giving him Gall and Vinegar and running him in the end thorow with a Spear to rub their memories afresh into sweet thoughts of their Crucifying Christ the more to harden themselves against Christ and to shew their curst hatred to all Christians Thus they incensed Philip of France for such a fact so as their Goods were confiscate being Jews whether guiltie or innocent and some imprisoned others cast out of the Kingdome At Weissenburg in Germany they Crucified a Boy at Verona they did it and at Venice also at Inmestar a place near Antiochia Our diligent Foxe hath given us notice that when England gave Jews harbour they got our English Children and sometimes crucified them in divers places as you may finde in Acts and Monuments and he publishes it withall in his Latin Sermon at the Baptism of a Jew There is an excellent relation if it can be proved to bear its weight with truth to shew the originall of Child-Crucifying among the Jews Cantjpratanus saith he once heard a very learned Jew that in his time was converted to the Faith say that a certain Prophet of theirs when he was at point of death did prophecie of the Jews thus Know ye saith he this for a most certain truth that you can never bee healed of this shamefull punishment wherewith you are so vexed but onely by Christian blood This punishment so shamefull they say is that Jews men as well as females are punished cursu menstruo sanguinis with a very frequent Bloud-fluxe These words saith the converted Jew the Iews did take with a mistake for hereupon to heale themselves they every yeare get the blood of some Christian Childe whom they murder whereas if they had understood aright this sanguine Christiano was Christs blood that they should get which in the Sacrament we receive to the healing and saving of sinners so many of us as are turned to Christ we are presently healed of our Fathers curse But alas they are mistaken indeed to chuse Barabbas a murderer on earth nay to chuse Abaddon the murderer of Hell before Jesus the Heavenly Redeemer and Saviour of the Souls of Sinners both Jews and Gentiles that do beleeve in him A miserable mistake to shed Christian blood by murder rather than to seek Christs blood by faith It was good counsell he gave them and they must be Co-Heires with Sathan of perdition unlesse they get this blood Of Magicall and unlawfull practises they have also beene accused and their names made blacke with that report That the Jews were much addicted to the use of Magique is confessed by R. Elias in his Thisbi It is a custome saith he much taken up by us Jewes in Germany that we make a circle round about in walls of the Chamber where a woman lies in Childbed with Chalk or a coale and write on every wall Adam Heva Chuts Lilith and he relates how on the inner chamber door they write the names of
