and murderers Which St. Paul also confirms in the forecited observable Text of the 1. Thess 2.14 15 16. And can we then in point of piety or policy even in these distracted rebellious mutinous times entertain or bring in such a Nation People as this amongst us Or can our despised Ministry in this age when they can hardly convert keep any of their own English from seduction have any hopes of reclaiming or converting such a mutinous ever rebellious stiff-necked people who have thus abused murdered stoned their own Prophets in former times though immediatly sent unto them by God himself and will quickly teach the English to do the like who already imitate them in too many places 4. They were the greatest haters revilers persecuters blasphemers betrayers and the only murderers crucifiers of our Lord Jesus Christ himself and his Apostles whiles on earth as the Evangelists Acts and other Scriptures testifie And although Christ and his Apostles miraculously converted some thousands of them by their preaching and miracles to the faith of Christ Acts 2.41 c. 21.20 Yet the generality and body of the Nation continued still blind obstinate under the very most powerfull Ministry of the Prophets Apostles and Christ himself being then and ever since that time judicially and penally given up to a blind obdurate obstinate impenitent stupid heart and spirit a reprobate sense a cauterized conscience and divorced rejected reprobated broken off cast off by God himself proclaiming them to be no more his people to be reprobate silver because he hath rejected them to make way for the calling conversion salvation of the Gentiles whom he hath ingrafted called and taken into special Covenant in their stead as is evident by Acts 13.45 46 47. c. 19.9 c. 28.25 26 27 28.

God himself especially for their rejection of Jesus Christ and refusing him to be their King to rule and reign over them hath utterly extirpated and ejected the Jews out of their own promised land which himself bestowed on them for their peculiar inheritance and habitation and setled them in actual possession thereof by an out-stretched hand and power yea scattered dispersed them into other Nations like chaff before the wind without any fixed habitation according to the ancient comminations and curses long since denounced against and now fully executed upon them Deut. 28.63 64 65. c.

Since the Jews crucifixion of our Saviour Jesus Christ himself and their extirpation and dissipation for it they have oft times in sundry places ages in high contempt and despight of his person and passion maliciously acted it over and over again in representation not only by piercing his Images with swords and spears and by stabbing piercing boyling burning braying in a mortar and otherwise despighting the consecrated Sacramental bread representing his crucified bod● as the Historians in the Margin at large relate and likewise by crucifying a Ram at Easter as they did at Syracusa in the year 1113 but likewise by crucifying sundry Christian children on Good Fryday or near Easter on a Cro●se in a most barbarous manner in derision of our Saviours death and passion To pretermit those 7. or 8. forecited instances in England alone I shall instance in some forreign ones recorded by Historians About the year of our Lord 430. the Jews in their ●●b●ick Enterludes and Dances held on their Sabbath openly crucified a Christian child in contempt and derision of Christs death and passion at Inmestar in Syria first nailing him to a tree and lifting him up on high then deriding and laughing at him after that like mad men scourging him as long as any breath remained in his body whereupon there arose great contention between them and the Christians and by the Emperours command the Jews who had done this in jest were punished in earnest Anno 1172. they crucifyed in like manner another Christian child at Bloys in France and near the same time the Jews at Bray in France crowned a Christian man whom they accused for a Malefactor with thorns then led him publickly about the Town scourged him with many stripes and at last crucified him in contempt of Christ Not long after the Jews at Paris in France in like manner impiously crucified a Christian child called Richard and sundry others yearly Anno 1236. the Jews at the Monastery of Fulda killed many Christian children in a Mill piercing them with ponyards and squesing out their blood to mix and knead it with their unleavened bread in their Passeover as was generally reported

in the Jews amongst us for the Lawyers had newly delivered their Opinions there was no Law against it To which I answered That the Jews were in the yeer 1290. all banished out of England by Judgement and Edict of the King and Parliament as a great Grievance never to return again for which the Commons gave the King the fifteenth part of their Moveables and therefore being thus banished by Parliament they could not by the Laws of England be brought in again without a special Act of Parliament which I would make good for Law He replied I wish it might not be done otherwise that this business had been formerly moved in the Bishops time rather than now To which I subjoyned That it was now a very ill time to bring in the Jews when the people were so dangerously and generally bent to Apostacy and all sorts of Novelties and Errors in Religion and would sooner turn Jews than the Jews Christians He answered He thought it was true and was sorry he could not discourse longer with me the Committee about the Jews being sate and staying for him as he feared Whereupon as he was turning in towards White-Hall-Gate I told him The Jews had been formerly great Clippers and Forgers of Mony and had crucified three or four Children in England at least which were principal causes of their banishment To which he replied That the crucifying of Children was not fully charged on them by our Historians and would easily be wiped off Whereto I answered He was much mistaken and so we parted As I kept on my way in Lincolnes-Inne Fields passing by seven or eight maimed Soldiers on Stilts who begged of me I heard them say aloud one to another We must now all turn Jews and there will be nothing left for the poor And not far from them another company of poor people just at Lincolnes-Inne back Gate cried aloud to each other They are all turned Devils already and now we must all turn Jews Which unexpected concurrent Providences and Speeches made such an impression on my Spirit that before I could take my rest that night I perused most of the passages in our English Histories concerning the Jews carriage in England with some of their misdemeanors in other parts to refresh my memory and satisfie my judgement making some Collections out of them which after I enlarged and digested into this ensuing Demurrer with as much speed as the sharpness of the season would permit and was induced to publish it knowing no particular discourse of this Subject extant for the general information satisfaction of others and honour of my blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ the righteous whom the Jews with malicious hearts and wicked hands crucified in person heretofore and their posterity by their blasphemies despiteful actions against Christ his Kingdom Offices Gospel crucifie afresh every day trampling under foot the Son of God putting him to open shame offering despite to the Spirit of Grace counting the blood of the Covenant an unholy thing And in all their publick and private Devotions praying constantly for the sudden universal total final subversion extirpation perishing of Christs Kingdom Gospel and all his Christian Members which they plot and continually expect such is their implacable transcendent malice I have deduced their introduction into England only from William surnamed the Conqueror because I finde not the least mention of them in any of our British or Saxon Histories Councils Synods Canons which doubtlesse would have mentioned them and made some strict Laws or Canons against their Iewish as well as against Pagan Superstitions had they exercised 〈◊〉 ●ere as they would have done as well as in Spain other places had they resided here That any of them were here in the time of our famous Emperor Constantine is but a dream of such who because they finde an Epistle of Constantines in the Council of Nice to all the Churches of Christ in Sir Hen. Spelmans Collections of the Decrees Canons and Constitutions of the British World wherein is mention made of the Churches of Britain in that age as well as in Rome France and other parts keeping the Passeover in a different manner from the wicked blinded Iews would thence infer there were then Jews resident in Britain of which there is not one syllable in that Epistle nor in any Classick Author Forrain or Domestick I yet ever saw or heard of That they were setled in our Island in the Saxons time is collected onely from that Law inserted by Hoveden and Spelman amongst Edward the Confessors here cited p. 3. But there being no mention of the Jews in any of our Saxon Kings Raigns Councils Decrees Laws before the Confessor out of which all his Laws were wholly extracted and this Law of the Jews being not to be found in the true Original Copy of the Confessors and Conquerors Laws of Abbot Ingulphus who flourished in that age was present at their confirmation and then brought them to Croyland Abby published by Mr. Iohn Selden nor yet in Bromton I cannot but reject it as counterfeit and esteem it rather a Declaration of the Jews Condition in England in Hovedens time inserted by him as well as some other things of punier date amongst these Laws rather than any Law of or in the Confessors days wherein I can finde no evidence of any Jews residence here but only this interpolation and forged Law which Mr. Selden wholly omits in his Collection of his Laws The History of King William Rufus his compelling the Iews of Rhoan that were turned Christians to renounce their Christianity and turn Iews again ACCEPTO PRETIO APOSTASLE upon the complaint and mony given him by the Infidel Jews there with the Dialogue between Him and Stephen the Jew cited out of Holinshed here p. 5 6. I finde originally recorded of him by Eadmerus living in his raign who though very bitter and injurious to him by reason of the great Contests between him Anselme whose Favourite Follower and Companion in adversity Eadmerus was yet he relates it not as a certain Truth but as a Report of others of that Country who had another Opinion of Rufus Quam de Christianis Christianos Lex Christiana docet habere quae tamen sicut illa accepimus simpliciter ponam non astruens vera an secus extiterint an non Onely he addes this passage to the story of Stephen which Holinshed omits That St. Stephen appearing to him as he was travelling on the way he demanding of him who he was Answered That he was long since of a Jew made a Christian and was Stephen the first Martyr but for this cause I have now come down from Heaven to Earth that thou casting away thy Iewish Superstition mightest be made a Christian and being baptized in Christ mightest be called by my name Whereupon he became a Christian and was baptized That immediately after the conference between the King and Stephen
