of Levi stood up and made a Speech concerning the End of their Meeting And this said he is To examine the Scriptures concerning Christ whether he be already come or whether we are to expect his coming In examining this Question they searched the Old Testament with great Care and Labour most part of that day to be resolved in the Truth having many Bibles to that end About which Point began a dispute that lasted many hours which at last drave to this Conclusion That the Major part of this Assembly were of Opinion That Christ was not Come But some others of the Assembly having strictly Examined the Scriptures and finding them so plain for his coming were inclined to think that Christ was come Being the rasher moved so to think by the consideration of the great Judgment that hath been upon them these 1600. years By reason whereof they have been as a Cast-off and Vagabond People which consideration pr●vailed so far upon many others as drave them not only to think but to conclude That Christ was come I remember one of them in Conference with others seemed to be very apprehensive of the great and long desolation of their Nation ever since their Destruction by the Roman Empire and imputed their Afflictions to their Non-repenting of such a wickedness as to kill the Lord from Heaven And comparing their present with other Judgments which their Nation had suffered he ingenuously confessed he did believe it was for some wickedness that their Nation was guilty of And that one of their great Sins he thought was the spilling of the Blood of the Prophet sent from God to their Nation and so many Massacres that have been committed by the several Sects and Factions among them For said he we are no Idolaters nor are we guilty of Idolatry And therefore I think we have not had this heavy Judgment upon us for that but surely it is the spilling the Blood of Jesus the Prophet sent from God and for Massacring those that loved him And this was the sum of what was Disputed the Second Day of their Meeting and so they ceased until the next morning The THIRD Day being Assembled together again the Point chiefly agitated was concerning the Manner of Christs Coming And that they said should be like a Mighty Prince in the Power and Authority of a King Yea in greater power than ever King had And that he will deliver their Nation out of the Power of their Adversaries and restore them to their Kingdom again And that the Nations should be of their Religion and Worship God after their Manner For they held that the Messiah will not alter their Religion whensoever he cometh And therefore began to conclude That Christ was not come For Jesus said they the great Prophet when he came began to alter our Religion therefore he was not the true Messiah And farther when Jesus came whom some call the True Messiah he began presently to pluck down our Religion and set up his own therefore he was not the True Messiah Thus some of them concluded But some did not But they went from this Dispute to another concerning his Parentage They did all agree in this That he shall be born of a Virgin according to the Praedictions of the Prophets in the Old Testament And in this also That he should be born of a Virgin of mean Note and Parentage among their Nation as was the Virgin Mary that bare Iesus the great Prophet from God And upon this many of them seemed to incline to think that Christ was come but left it to the next Day when they should again Meet together The FOURTH Day The Assembly being met the Propounder demanded what they thought Whether Christ was come or no They said They thought he was come But they Answered thus That if he were come he was no other than Elias because Elias came formerly in great power and with great power he declared it in slaying the Priests of Baal and for fulfilling the Scriptures he was opposed by Ahab and Iezebel And so they esteemed this Man whom they called Iesus to be that same Elias Moreover others said That they thought he was more than a Mortal Man in that he so strangely Ascended up into Heaven which some of our Fore-fathers saw and this was all that was done on the Fourth Day The FIFTH Day The Assembly being Met they went about the same Question that was Controverted the day before and took it into Examination again to answer them that said Elias was not the Messiah They of the contrary Opinion did argue the love and care of Elias for the good of their Nation That he left them Elisha his Disciple to teach and instruct the People And this they took to be the care of the Messiah These were their chief Arguments to maintain their Opinion The same day towards night came into Question among them what then he was that said He was the Son of God and was Crucified by their Ancestours But because this was a Great Question among them they deferred the farther Consideration thereof until the next day The SIXTH Day there were some Pharisees that stood up who were the great Enemies of Christ and said they would undertake to answer the last Question And would by no means yield that he was The Christ. And these are the Reasons they gave for their Opinion viz. 1. Because he came into the World like an ordinary and inferior Man not with his Scepter and Royal Power For they affirmed That the coming of Christ would be Glorious 2. Reason they pleaded against him was the meanness of his Birth in that his Father was a Carpenter and this they said was a dishonour of which when Christ comes he will not be capable 3. Reason They accused him to be a False Christ and an Enemy to Moses Law in doing and suffering his Disciples to do unlawful Works on the Sabbath Day For they believed they said that the True Messiah will exactly keep the Law of Moses Now though it were replied that the Gospel doth testifie of Christ that he did fulfil the Law of Moses yet they rejected that answer because they did not believe and own the Gospel But these reasons did not satisfie the Council there still remaining doubts in them concerning Christ. So that after the Pharisees had done speaking there stood one up Rabbi Abraham and objected against the Pharisees The Miracles that Christ wrought while he was upon the Earth viz. The Raising of the Dead to life again his making the Lame to walk the Blind to see the Dumb to speak by what Power I pray you my Brethren did he them With that the Pharisees arose and desired to answer him and this is the answer they returned before the Council Perhaps said they this Iesus was an Impostor and Magician and so was enabled to do those Miracles And for our parts we believe that all the Miracles he did were done by Magick and Charms

any thing were capable to reduce that miserably deluded People certainly one would think these continu'd Frowns and Accents of his displeasure against all their Interprises as it ought to confirm the Truth of the Christian Profession so it should even constrain them to hasten to it For the Wrath is come upon them to the uttermost In the Reign of the famous Abas Sophy of Persia and Grand-Father to the present Emperor the Nation being low and somewhat exhausted of Inhabitants it entred into the mind of this Prince a Wise and Prudent Man and one who exceedingly studied the Benefit of his Subjects to seek some expedient for the Revival and Improvement of Trade and by all manner of Priviledges and Immunities to encourage other contiguous Nations to Negotiate and Trade amongst them and this Project he fortified with so many Immunities and used them so well who came that repairing from all Parts to his Country in a short time the whole Kingdom was filled with multitudes of the most Industrious People and Strangers that any way bordered on him It happened that amongst those who came innumerable Flocks of Jews ran thither from all their Dispersions in the East attracted by the gain which they universally make where evere they set footing by their innate Craft Sacred Avarice and the excessive Extorti●ns which they continually Practise And it was not many years but by this means they had so impoverished the rest and especially the natural Subjects of Persia that the Clamor of it reached to the Ears of the Emperour and indeed it was Intolerable for even his own Exchequer began to be sensible of it as well as his Peoples Purses and Estates which they had almost Devoured How to repress this Inormity and remedy this Inconvenience without giving Vmbrage to the rest of those profitable strangers now setled in his Dominions by falling severely upon the Jews on the sudden he long consulted and for that end call'd to his Advice his Chief Ministers of State the Musti and expounders of the Law After much dispute 't was at last found that the Jews had already long since forfeited their Lives by the very Text of the Alcoran where it is express'd That if within 600 years from the promulgation of that Religion they did nor u●iversally come in and Profess the Mahumetan Faith they should be destroyed The Zealous Emperor would immediately have put this Edict in Execution but by the Interc●ssion of the Musti and the rest of the Doctors 't was thought fit to suspend it for the present But that these growing Evils might in time have a period his Majesty Commanded that all the Chochammi Rabbins and Chief amongst the Jews should immediately appear before his Tribunal and make Answer to some Objections that were to be propounded to them The Iews being accordingly convened the Sophy Examines them about several Passages of their Law and particularly concerning the Prophet Moses and those Rites of his which seemed to have been so long annihilated amongst them since the coming of Isai for so they call Iesus after whom they pretend their Mahomet was to take place and all other Predictions to determine The Iews much terrified with the manner of these Interrogatories and dubious what the meaning and drift of them might signifie told the Emperor That for Christ they did not believe in him but that they expected a Messiah of their own to come who should by his Miraculous power deliver them from their Oppressors and subdue all the World to his Obedience At this Reply the Sophy appe●red to be much Incensed How says he Do you not then believe Christ of whom our very Alcoran makes so Honourable mention as that he was the Spirit of God sent down from him and returning to him c. If we Believe him Why do not you What say you for your selves you Incredulous Wretches The Confounded Jews perceiving the Emperour thus provoked immediatly prostrated themselves on the ground humbly supplicating him to take pity on his Slaves who acknowledged themselves altogether unable to Dispute with his Majesty That for the Christians they seemed indeed to them to be gross Idolaters Men who did not Worship God but a C●ucified Malefactor and a Deceiver which still the more displeased the Sophy not induring they should so Blaspheme a Person for whom their Alcoran had so great Reverence However for the present he dis●embles his resentmemt T is well says he you do not believe the God of the Christians But tell me What think you 〈◊〉 our Great Prophet Mahomet This Demand exceedingly perplexed them not knowing what to Reply and indeed it was contrived on pu●pos● that convincing them of Blasphemy as they esteemed it against their Prophet the Sophy might find a specious and legal pretence toruine and destroy them without giving any jealousie or suspicion to the rest of the strangers who were Trafficking in his Country of several other Religions but who were not in the least obnoxious to his displeasure After along pause secret conference with ōne another it was at last resolved among them That though they had deny'd Christ they would yet say nothing Positively against Mahomet Therefore they told the Emperour though their Religion forbad them to believe any Prophet save Moses c. yet they did not hold Mahomet for a false Prophet in as much as he was descended of Ismael the Son of Abraham and that they desired to remain His Majesties humble Vassals and Slaves and craved His pitty on them The Sophy easily perceiving the Cunning and wary Subterfuge of their Reply told them This should not serve their turn That they were a People of dissolute Principles and that under pretence of their long expected Messiah they persisted in a false Religion and kept off from Proselyting to the true Belief and therefore required of them to set a positive Time when their Messiah was to appear for that he would Support them no longer who had impos'd on the World and Cheated his people now so many Years But withal assuring them that he would both Pardon Protect them for the time they should Assign provided they did not go about to abuse him by any incompetent Procrastinations but assign the Year precisely of his Coming when if accordingly he did not Appear they were Sons of Death and should all of them either Renounce their Faith or be certainly Destroy'd and their Estates Confiscated The poor Iews though infinitely Confounded with this unexpected Demand and Resolution of the Sophy after a second Consultation among themselves which the Emperour granted contriv'd to give him this answer That according to their Books and Prophecies their Messiah should infallibly Appear within Seventy years prudently as they thought believing that either the Emperour or They should be all of them Dead before that time and that in the interim such Alterations might emerge as all this would be forgotten or averted and that at the worst a good sum of Money would reverse
