A91275	A short demurrer to the Jewes long discontinued remitter into England. Comprising an exact chronological relation of their first admission into, their ill deportment, misdemeanors, condition, sufferings, oppressions, slaughters, plunders, by popular insurrections, and regal exactions in; and their total, final banishment by judgment and edict of Parliament, out of England, never to return again: collected out of the best historians. With a brief collection of such English laws, Scriptures, as seem strongly to plead, and conclude against their readmission into England, especially at this season, and against the general calling of the Jewish nation. With an answer to the chief allegations for their introduction. / By William Prynne Esq; a bencher of Lincolnes-Inne.; Short demurrer to the Jewes long discontinued remitter into England. Part 1.

custody of the Jews and with loud clamours declared that his Sonne whom he thought to have been lost was wickedly kept up in the chamber of a certain Jew Which great premeditated wickednesse coming to the knowledge of the Bishop William Rele a prudent and circumspect man and of other great men lest through the slothfulnesse of the Christians so great an injury of Christ should be passed by unpunished all the Jews of the City were apprehended and when as they would have defended themselves by Regal authority the Bishop said These things belong to the Church and are not to be determined in the Kings Court seeing the Question to be discussed is concerning Circumcision and the breach of faith Whereupon 4 of the Jews being convicted of the aforesaid wickednesse were first dragged about at the tails of Horses and at last hanged on the Gallows lamentably breathing forth the reliques of life The very next year the Jews in Forraign parts especially in Germany believing that the Tartars were of their own Nation entred into a secret League with them to destroy the Christians and subdue the whole world to themselves to which end they provided many Hogsheads filled with arms to be transported to the Tartars pretending to the Christian Princes that they were Vessels filled only with poysoned Wines wherewith they intended to poyson and destroy the Tartars who would drink no wines but such as were made by the Jews But this their Treachery being detected by the Customers in Germany who found these pretended Vessels of Wine to be fraught with arms for the Tartars wherewith to destroy the Christians thereupon the Jews were delivered to Tormentors to be perpetually imprisoned or slain with their own swords as Matthew Paris more at large relates Anno 1241. p. 564. King Henry Anno 1243. exacted a great ransom from the most miserable Jews both in gold and silver so that besides what he exacted from others he extorted from one Jew Aaron of Yorke 4 marks of gold and 4000 marks of silver the King himself receiving the gold with his own hand from every Jew man or woman being made of a King a new receiver of Custome but the silver was received by others for the King Anno 1244. in August the corps of a little male child was found buried in the City of London in whose thighs and arms and under his paps there was a regular inscription in Hebrew Letters To which spectacle when as many resorted admiring at it and not knowing how to read the letters knowing that the Letters were Hebrew they called thither converted Jews who inhabited the House which the King had founded in London that they as they loved their life or members for the honour love and fear of their Lord the King without figment of falshood might declare that writing For the Kings Bayliffs and Conservators of the Peace were present They likewise believed neither without cause that the Jews had either crucified that little child in obloquy and contumely of Christ which was related frequently to have happened or had afflicted him with sundry torments to crucify him and when he had given up the ghost they had now cast him there as unworthy the Crosse Moreover there appeared in his body blew marks and rents of rodds and manifest signs and footsteps of some other torment And when as those Converts were brought to read those things that were inscribed and studied that they might perfectly read them they found the Letters deformed and now not legible being many ways disordered and tossed up and down by reason of the extension and contraction of the skin and flesh But they found the name of the Father and Mother of the little child suppressing their surnames and that the child was sold to the Jews but to whom or to what end they could not find In the mean time certain of the London Jews took a secret and sudden flight never to return again who by this very thing rendered themselves suspected And some assirmed that the Lord had wrought miracles for the child And because it was found that the Jews at other times had perpetrated such wickednesse and the holy bodies crucified had been solemnly received in the Church and likewise to have shined brightly with miracles although the prints of the 5 wounds appeared not in the hands and feet and side of the said corps yet the Canons of St. Paul took it violently away and solemnly buried it in their Church not far from the great Altar The same year 1244. The Barons in Parliament ordered That there should be one Justice at the least appointed for the Jews by the nomination of the Parliament In the year of our Lord 1250. King Henry the 3d. burning with a covetous desire commanded mony to be extorted from the Jews without all mercy so as they might seem to be altogether and irrecoverably impoverished exacting what monies soever they had in their chests Notwithstanding although they were miserable yet they were pittied by none because they were often proved and convicted to have been counterfeiters as well of monies as of seals And to passe by the monies of others we shall only mention one that their malice may the more appear to many There was a certain rich Jew having his abode and house at Berkamstede and Wallingford Abraham in name not in faith who was very dear to Earl Richard who had a very beautifull wife and faithfull to him named Flora. This Jew that he might accumulate more disgrace to Christ caused the Image of the Virgin Many decently carved and painted as the manner is holding her Sonne in her bosom This Image the Jew placed in his house of Office and which is a great shame and ignomy to expresse blaspheming the Image it self as if it had been the very Virgin her self threw his most filthy and not to be named excrements upon her days and nights and commanded his wife to do the like Which when his wife saw after some days she grieved at it by reason of the Sex and passing by secretly wiped off the filth from the face of the Image most filthily defiled Which when the Jew her husband had fully found out he therefore privily and impiously strangled the woman her self though his wife But when these wicked deeds were discovered and made apparent and proved by his conviction although other causes of death were not wanting he was thrust into the most loathsom Castle of the Tower of London Whence to get his freedom he most certainly promised That he would prove all the Jews of England to have been most wicked Traitors And when as he was greatly accused almost by all the Jews of England and they endeavoured to put him to dea●h Earl Richard interceded for him Whereupon the Jews grievously accusing him both of the clipping of money and other wickednesses offred Earl Richard a thousand marks if he would not protect him which notwithstanding the Earl refused because he was
