A51572	The Messias of the Christians and the Jewes held forth in a discourse between a Christian, and a Iew obstinately adhering to his strange opinions, & the forced interpretations of scripture, wherein Christ the true savior of the whole world is described from the prophets and likewise that false and counterfeited Messias of the Jewes, who in vaine is expected by that nation to this very day, is discovered / written first in Hebrew, but now rendered into English by Paul Isaiah, a Jew born, but now a converted and baptized Christian.

and I will follow you for I have many things in my heart to speak to you and now for a long time I have not entred the house of any Iew What doth that white circle signifie which I see written on the wals round about the chamber having this inscription tarry without thou Lilith Iew We by this circle drive away the Devill lest he enter and hurt the infant newly borne for our Rabbies say that Lilith is a certaine Ghost having the shape of an abortive born of an impure birth saving that he hath wings Christian Thou tellest me strange things but goe on and tell me what more your Masters write concerning this thing Iew I will Know therefore that our wise men judge thus that Adam the first parent begat devils spirits and ghosts and you shall be constrained to bee of their opinion forasmuch as we finde not those creatures in the number of the other workes of creation but many of these have a bodie and a soule they are multiplied and die as other men and againe there are many spirits which are created without a body and of these it is said which the Lord created that hee might make which were not yet made but created such were those Devils whose soules hee had created but did not make their bodies because the Sabbath was at hand and the Lord was forc'd to rest from all his works which hee had created that hee might make but those which are created with a body and a soule as men proceeded from him then came Lilith to Adam hee not knowing for he had not a body by which hee might bee knowne and did preserve his seed from him But Adam was created from the beginning and devils and spirits and ghosts proceeded from him which we draw from this Adam was an hundred and thirty yeares old and begat in his likenesse and image whereby is signified that he begat not in his likeness and image untill the hundred and thirteth yeare Gen. 5.5 Christian Declare to mee better the mentioned text of Scripture which the Lord created that he might make because I understand it not according to your words Iew The Scripture saith thus which the Lord created that he might make and not thus which the Lord created and made to signifie that God created al things by a certain word and was not tired nor weary for he did not make but created all things by a certaine vvord out of nothing speaking to them as to Artificers that they should bring forth things out of themselves as vvhen he said let the earth bring forth let the vvaters bring forth therefore the Scripture saith vvhich the LORD created that hee might make that is commit to others that they might make them but hee did determine and told how all things should bee made After this sort is the creation of Devils who were created in the even of the sabbath as our wise men of good memory have recorded The holy day shone upon them and their making was not altogether finished but were sent into the aire imperfect partly communicating with man and partly with Angels They eate and drinke they increase in off-spring as men they flie through the aire they ascend and steale away things within a garment and for the most part their speeches are lies neither dare they appeare in the sight of God seeing it is written the wicked shall not dwell with thee and when it is said in Genesis Gen. 36. 24. that Anas found Iemim in the desert hee would signifie Devils wherefore Iemim is writ without Iod to signifie that the Devils were left imperfect after the six daies of creation for the holy day of the Sabbath began to enter and hence it is that they shun the Sabbath as it is written in Exodus Exod. 12. 42. it is a night of observations to you to wit that you should beware of those injurious spirits on the Sabbath no Devill or other evill assault need be feared for they all flie to the dark mountains neither doe they appeare all the Sabbath day because that is the holy day and they are unclean but when the Sabbath is ended they returne to fall upon men and hurt them and therefore we say let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us Psal. 90. 17. which Psalme is against Devils and hath that commendation that by it we may put to flight those noxious spirits who are called the snares of the sons of men as it is written Psal. 91. 10. evill shall not be devised against thee neither shall the rod approach thy Tabernacle and because those Devils were made of Adam the first parent in those hundred and thirty yeares wherein hee was sequestred from his wife being made I say of his seed therefore they are called the snares and plagues of men and the mentioned Psalme and the 91 Psalme doth conteine a hundred and thirty sayings with this verse with length of daies thou shalt satisfie him c. and Adam left this calamity to his posterity as it were by right of inheritance that when at night they had felt the flux of nature from thence Devils hurtfull and malitious to men are born Therefore the Law saith thou shalt beware of every evill thing to wit lest man in the day time take in any spirits which in the night may cast him into uncleannesse by Belial's meanes who is called an evill eye and he appeareth sometimes in the shape of a woman is also called Lilith that is a night-ghost Moreover wee must observe that those faunes who are so engendred of the seed of man when the man dies who is their father they all meet together to touch and defile him and therefore our wise men have commanded us to make circles about the man and remember certain words whereby they are put to flight and dare not enter the circle to touch the funerall Moreover they have taught us to make seven circles to drive away seven troops of hurtfull angels which there met together which they gather from hence because it is written Iob 5.19 in six troubles he shall deliver thee and in the seventh evill shall not touch thee Evill that is Belial for they flie away from those circles wherefore those circles must bee made by the grave that presently after the writing of them they may put in the carkasse into the grave and no delay at all be made in letting downe the coffin lest any evill touch it Christian This is great folly in you Iewes yea madnesse of heart when you affirme that God left any creature unperfect or uncomplete seeing it is written in the worke of creation The Heaven and the Earth were finished and all the host of them Gen. 2.2 and in another place it is said The worke of the Creator is perfect Deut. 32. 4 if that bee true how dare you say God made any work imperfect do you think the hand of the Lord is shortned that he
