the sixth Millenary 426. And if we number from the Birth of Christ we have after two years the number of the Beast viz. 666. If any should say This wants Solidity I Answer This suits with my Purpose viz. The expectation of the Jews Call ere long For the occasion of this Calculation was that he undertook to praedict as with a Prophetick Spirit that within two years a very great change would befall the Jews for good or for ill And being asked whence he did collect this In answer to my question he shewed me the said place of Isa. 34.8 and made upon it the aforesaid Calculation And thus I have brought the Reader down from 1650 to the brink of 1665 giving him all along some Glimpses of the approaching call of the Jews how near we cannot positively say As for the present year 1665 within 5 days now expiring I have not medled with the occurrences thereof because of them Mens Pockets are full of Letters their Hands full of Gazets their Ears full of Reports and Tidings and their Eyes sufficiently perceive the Jews cease Trading pack up and are marching Upon the consideration of the whole I conclude with Daniel in relation to Israels Call Ch. 12.10 The wise shall be purified and shall understand But the Wicked shall do wickedly and none of them shall understand Therefore I bid thee Reader Farewell with this Be not DECEIVED one lately did advise Beware say I Christs Day doth none SURPRIZE Postscript AS by the preceding Account we may observe what thoughts and expectations divers well meaning Christians had of the call and return of the Jews in the year 1666. and particularly of the noise that was made in the World by the pretended Messiah Sabatai Sevi who just about that time impudently assumed to himself that title and declared that he was come to deliver the Jews from slavery and carry them to Jerusalem there to reign over them so the following Relation gives a Clear and Impartial Account of the actions and death of that vain Impostor and the Scandal which the Jews brought upon themselves by their fond and easy Credulity and it may likewise serve as a remembrance to all sober men that secret things belong only to God and Revealed to man that we may keep his Laws The Author hereof is an English Gentleman of Quality and a Person who was in that Station as to be capable of throughly informing himself of the truth of all Particulars and it may therefore Challenge the Credit of the most Captious Reader THE Counterfeit Messiah OR False Christ OF THE JEWS AT SMYRNA In the year 1666. written by an English Person of Quality there Resident ACcording to the Predictions of several Christian Writers especially of such who Comment on the Apocalyps or Revelations this Year 1666 was to prove a Year of Wonders and strange Revolutions in the World and particularly of Blessings to the Iews either in respect of their Conversion to the Christian Faith or of their Restoration to their Temporal Kingdoms This Opinion was so dilated and fixt in the Countreys of the Reformed Religion as to the downfall of the Pope and Antichrist and the greatness of the Iews in so much that this subtle People judged this Year the time to stir and to fit their Motion according to the season of the Modern Prophecies whereupon strange Reports flew from place to place of the March of Multitudes of People from unknown parts into the remote Desarts of Arabia supposed to be the Ten Tribes and half lost for so many Ages That a Ship was arrived in the Northern parts of Scotland with her Sails and Cordage of Silk Navigated by Mariners who spake nothing but Hebrew with this Motto on their Sails The Twelves Tribes of Israel These Reports agreeing thus near to former Predictions put the wild sort of the World into an expectation of strange Accidents this year should produce in reference to the Iewish Monarchy In this manner Millions of People were possessed when Sabatai Sevi first appear'd at Smyrna and published himself to the Iews for their Messiah relating the greatness of their approaching Kingdom the strong hand whereby God would free from bondage and gather them from all parts of the World It was strange to see how the fancy took and how fast the report of Sabatai and his Doctrine flew through all parts where Turks and Iews inhabited the latter of which were so deeply Possessed with a belief of their new Kingdom and Riches and many of them with promotion to Offices of Government Renown and Greatness that in all parts from Constantinople to Buda which it was my fortune that year to Travel I perceived a strange transport in the Iews none of them attending to any business unless to wind up former negotiations and to prepare themselves and Families for a Journey to Ierusalem All their Discourses their Dreams and disposal of their Affairs tended to no other Design but a re-establishment in the Land of Promise to Greatness Glory Wisdom and Doctrine of the Messiah whose Original Birth and Education are first to be recounted Sabatai Sevi was Son of Mordechai Sevi an Inhabitant and Natural of Smyrna who gained his Livelihood by being Broaker to an English Merchant in that place a person who before his death was very decrepit in his Body and full of the Gout and other Infirmities but his Son Sabatai Sevi addicting himself to Study became a notable Proficient in the Hebrew and Metaphysicks and arrived to that point of Sophistry in Divinity and Metaphysicks that he vented a New Doctrine in their Law drawing to the Profession of it so many Disciples as raised one day a Tumult in the Synagogue for which afterwards he was by a Censure of the Chochams who are Expounders of the Law banished the City During the time of his Exile he Travelled to Thessalonica now called Salonica where he Married a very handsome Woman but either not having that part of Oeconomy as to govern a Wife or being Impotent towards Women as was pretended or that she found not favour in his Eyes she was divorced from him Again he took a second Wife more beautiful than the former but the same causes of discontent raising a difference between them he obtained another Divorce from this VVife also And being now free from the Incumbrances of a Family his wandring head mov'd him to Travel through the Morea thence to Trippoly in Syria Gaza and Ierusalem and by the way picked up a Ligorness Lady whom he made his third Wife the Daughter of some Polonian or German her Original and Parentage not being very well known And being now at Ierusalem he began to Reform the Law of the Iews and Abolish the Fast of Tamuz which they keep in the Month of Iune and there meeting with a certain Iew called Nathan a proper Instrument to promote his Design he communicated to him his Condition his Course of Life and Intentions to Proclaim himself

B. and Beautified with Pictures LONDON Printed for Nath. Crouch at the Bell in the Poultrey near Cheapside 1692. TO THE READER THE following Relations containing matters very considerable and remarkable cannot certainly be displeasing to any good natur'd Reader for it may be some diversion to observe what Wonders are told of those once famous Places in and about Jerusalem and what New Legends are daily added as it may stand with the Interest that is to say the profit of the Priests As to the Great Council in Hungaria in 1650. and the strange Delusions wherewith the Jews were possest by a Counterfeit Messiah or False Christ in and about Smyrna and many other Countries Likewise their utter Extirpation out of the Kingdom and Dominions of the Emperour of Persia in 1666. We may with our Author observe how signally the hand of the Almighty has been stretcht out against the Jews so that if they were not under a Judicial hardness of heart certainly these continued Tokens of Divine Vengeance would cause them to Reflect upon themselves and by a serious Repentance and imbracing of the Doctrines of the Lord Iesus Christ the True Messiah and Saviour of the World to endeavour to remove that Curse which their Forefathers wished might fall upon themselves and their children when they Crucified the Son of God and the Lord of Life and Glory and under which they have so severely smarted in most Nations whither they have been scattered for above these sixteen hundred years As to the Reality of these brief Relations they were all written by several Englishmen of undoubted Veracity and Credit and who were upon the Places where these remarkable things were Transacted and therefore need not beg but may rather command Belief R. B. A Brief Description of Palestine with an account of the Ancient and Modern State of those Countries IN Former Ages this was one of the most famous Provinces of Syria Called 1. The Land of Canaan from Canaan the Son of Cham who by his often chasings was driven to possess and inhabit the same 2. It was called the Land of Promise because God had promised it to the Patriarchs Abraham Isaac and Jacob and their Seed 3. Israel of the Israelites from Jacob who was surnamed Israel 4. Judea from the Jews or People of the Tribe of Judah 5. Palestine by Ptolomays and others quasi Philistini The Land of the Philistines a potent Nation that dwelt there 6. The Holy Land by the Christians because herein was wrought by Christ the Work of our Salvation This Country is situated in the midst of the World between the Third and Fourth Climates the longest day being 14 hours and a quarter between the Midland Sea and Arabia from which it is Bulwarked beyond Jordan with a continual Ridge of Mountains on the East lyes Celosyria and Arabia Petrea on the South Idumea the Wilderness of Pharam and Egypt in the West a part of Phenicia and the rest hath the Mediterranean Sea and on the North are the Mountains of Libanus and a part of Phenicia It is distant from the Equinoctial 31 Degrees extending to 33 so that in length from Dan unto Beesheba it containeth not more than 400 Miles and where it is broadest not 50. This famous Land was once commended above all Countries under the Sun for the Salubrity of the Air being seated under a Temperate Clime where Winter is not too cold nor Summer too hot and for Fertility a Land that flowed with Milk and Honey adorned with Beautiful Mountains and delightful Valleys the Rocks producing excellent Waters and no part empty of delight or profit for the Soil yields abundance of all fruits and increase This Land aboundeth in sweet Springs and Pleasant Pastures where they feed a great many Flocks of Sheep and Herds of Cattle and Cows which give excellent Milk as is in any Country in the World There is also brave Hunting and Hawking for Dear Goats Hares Partridges Quails and other Birds they have all kind of Fowl also there are Lions Bears and Wolves found in abundance The Land of Canaan was heretofore divided into 30 Kingdoms and Kings when the Israelites conquered it most of the Ancient Inhabitants being for their sins by God excluded the Land and put to the Sword by the Israelites who Ruled this Land about 400 Years by Princes and Judges till the time of Samuel These Princes or Judges were not all of one Tribe but the Best Gravest and Eldest Selected and chosen out of every Tribe Afterwards the Israelites growing weary of this Government at their earnest request the Lord appointed them a King and so their Government was Changed into a Monarchy which continued many Ages but process of time the Israelites endured many Miseries and Afflictions till at last they saw the utter Ruine and subversion of their Kingdom VVhat Alterations happened to this Nation and with how many several VVars they were Plagued either for their own stiff-neckedness that they would not be Obedient to their own Prince or brook any forreign Government or that for their Rebellion and Sins the VVrath of God was oftentimes Kindled against them or that Forreign Princes were Ambitious to Incorporate this happy Land Holy VVrit and Historiographers VVitness the same at large how many times were they subdued and brought into Bondage because of their Sins and that they did not behav-themselves well for sometimes their Neck were brought under the Yoaks of their Neighbours as the Egyptians Chaldeans Medes Persians Macedonians and Romans and yet they would never cease their Rebellions Seditions and Conspiracies till they had brought their Government and Countrey to utter Destruction by Persecuting and putting to death the Saints and Prophets sent them from God yea and at last Crucifying the Son of God the Lord of Glory and the Saviour of M●nkind
with their Horrible and Mu●derous Hands and finally Wishing that his Innocent Bloud should be on them and their Children Which accordingly soon after happened to the utter Desolation of their Countrey the Romans laying waste and levelling to the Ground the Magnificent Structures and Buildings thereof so that herein was verified the Prophecy of Christ while he was upon the Earth That one Stone should not be left upon another And as for the People Divine Vengeance did continually pursue them till the most part were destroyed and the rest Dispersed throughout out the World even to this Day For first the Inhabitants of Caesarea slew of the Jews in one Day about 20000. and such as fled were taken and Imprisoned by Florus the Lieutenant of Judea To Revenge this Slaughter the Jews set upon the Syrians in which Skirmish 13000 of them were slain The People of Alexandria put 50000 to the Sword They of Damascus 10000. and Antonius a Roman Captain ●lew in Ascalon 10000 and Cestius another Captain ●lew 80040 Persons And now to come to the Wars managed here by Vespasian This Vespasian in the Seige of Aphaca slew and took Prisoners Seventeen Thousand one Hundred and Thirty Persons in Samaria 11600 and in Iosepata 42200 Persons In Joppa so many Killed and Drowned themselves that the Sea threw up four Thousand two Hundred and the rest so totally perished that there remained none to carry tidings to Jerusalem of the loss of the Town In the City of Tarichea were Slain and made Captives Forty five Thousand besides those which were given to King Agrippa In Gamala there perished Ninety Thousand and none left alive but only two Women In Gascala Five Thousand Men died by the Sword In the City of Gadara were slain Thirty two Thousand two Hundred beside● an infinite number that D●owned themselves In Jerusalem it self there died Eleven Hundred Thousand Jews partly by Sword and Famine the worse Enemy of the two there were found 2000 in Privies and Sinks and Ninety Seven Thousand were taken prisoners in so much that 30 Jews were sold for a Penny Now that Ierusalem was able to contain such a number of People is evident in that when Cestius was Lieutenant of Jury the High Priest at his Request numbered the People which came to Eat of the Paschal Lamb and found them to be two Millions and Seven Hundred Thousand living Souls all sound and Purified And when Titus laid Siege to the City it was at the Feast of the Passover when most of the People were there assembled God as it were thus Imprisoning them All these Massacres besides divers others Omitted and infinite Numbers slain in the Fields and Villages which drowned themselves and were privately made away Amounting to almost two Millions of People happened in the compass of four Years beginning in the twelfth of Nero and ending in the second of Vespasian Yet was not the whole Nation Rooted out till 136. For then this Miserable People having stirred two notable Rebellions First under Trajan and afterward under Adrian the Emperours they were all banished their Native Country and never again suffered to inhabit it but as Strangers After this Desolation the Jews were dispersed over the World and especially in Spain where Adrian Commanded many of them to dwell yet found every where so little Favour that having divers time been put ●o grievous Mulcts and Ransoms they were at last quite thrust out of Europe The first Christian Prince that expelled the Jews out of his Territories was that Heroick King Edward 1. who was such a sore Scourge also to the Scots and it is thought divers Families of those Banished Jews fled then to Scotland where they have propagated since in great Numbers Witness the Aversion this Nation hath above others to Hogs-Flesh Nor was this their Extermination for their Religion but for their notorious Crimes as poisoning of Wells Counterfeiting of Coins falsifying of Seals and Crucifying of Christian Children with other Villanies This happened in the Year 1291. And 16 Years after France followed our Example It was near 200 Years after that Ferdinand turned them out of Spain and five years after him Emanuel of Portugal did the like But the Countreys from whence they wer● Last expelled were Naples and Sicily in the Year 1539. In other parts of Christendom they reside yet in great numbers as in Germany High and Low Bohemia Lituania Poland and Russia In Italy also they are found but in no Countrey subject to the King of Spain They live very quietly at Rome under the Popes nose and St. Mark makes no scruple to entertain them at Venice In sundry places of the Ottoman Empire they are very numerous so that it is thought Constantinople and Thessalonica only have near twenty thousand Asia is full of them as Aleppo Tripoly Damascus Rhodes and indeed all places of commerce and traffique There are numbers also in Persia Arabia and about Cranganor in India In Africk they have their Synagogues and Lumbards as in Alexandria Grand Cairo Fesse Trimesen and divers places in the Kingdom of Morocco there are about 100 Families left in Jerusalem But the place where they are most unmingled is Tiberias which the Turks gave to Mendez the Jew for some signal services thither they oft bring or send the bones of their dead friends who have left large Legacies to be there interred from other places The City of Jerusalem was afterward redified by Elius Adrianus and given to the Christians from whom it was taken by Cosroes and the Persians in the Year 615. and from them forcibly wrested by Haumar and the Saracens in 637. Next it fell into the power of Cutlu Moses and the Turks in 1009. under whose oppressions when it had long groaned Peter the Hermite stirred up the Western Princes to relieve the distressed Christians whose designs attained their wished effect under the Banner of the Victorious Prince Godfrey of Bullen in the Year 1099. This Godfrey for his merits was to have been invested with the Royal Wreath of Majesty which he denied thinking it unfit to wear a Crown of Gold where his Saviour had worn a Crown of Thorns yet for the common good he accepted the Title after whom reigned these Christian Princes Baldwin the 1. Baldwin the 2. Fulk Earl of Anjou Baldwin the 3. Almerick Baldwin the 4. Baldwin the 5. Guy of Lusignan the last King of Jerusalem during whose time Saladine the Sultan of Egypt won the Kingdom which his Successours defended against all invasions till the Year 1517. when Selinus the first Emperour of the Turks added the Holy Land together with Egypt to his Empire And so the whole Countrey of Palestine with the City of Jerusalem are under the dominion of the Turks to this day and is inhabited by some Christians who make a great benefit of shewing the Sepulchre of Christ and of late years also by Moors Arabians Greeks Latins Turks Jews nay I may say with People of all Nations The whole
