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.

all places upon their outward Garments or heads whereby they might be distinguished from Christians and known by all men to be Iews to avoid c●mmixtion and communion between them and Christians which otherwise would happen 8. That they should be disabled to bear witnesse or give in any legal testimony against Christians or to exercise usury amongst them or to purchase any advowson or Ecclesiastical preferment or to bequeath any legacy to the Nation or Corporation of the Iews 9. That they should be subject both to the Ecclesiastical Temporal Courts and Iudges for all offences properly punishable by them which they should commit 10. That they should pay all predial and personal Tithes to the Christian Ministers where they lived 11. That though they should not be compelled to be baptized or turn Christians against their willt yet they should at certain times be all constrained to come to the Sermons of such Christian Priests and Ministers as were appointed to instruct them in the Christian faith and to preach unto them to convert them 12. That their Servants and Children being Iews when once baptized and turned Christians should no more c●habit with nor be under their power 13. That upon their conversion to Christianity all their goods and mony gotten by usury and cheating should be distributed to pious uses and the rest only retained for their proper use and livelyhood 14 That if any of them after their baptisme apostatized and turned Iewes again or fell into Heresie they should be proceeded against and burned ●executed as Apostates and Hereticks 15. That no Christians should communicate with them in any kind except in buying and selling nor cohabit with serve them as a Nurse or Servant under pain of excommunication yet notwithstanding all these restrictions and cautions we read of few Iews really converted by them and that the Iews have perverted and seduced sundry Christians to Iudaisme and made them professed Iews perswaded other Christians to observe Mosaical ceremonies besides Baptism whereby they made a confused Chaos of Religion yea they corrupted Michael Balbus the Emperor so far that he commanded Christians to fast on their Sabbath and made him as it were a sink of Sects as Zonaras and others record Yea Sedechias the Iewish Physician poysoned the Emperor Charles the Bald his body as well as others in that age after poysoned other Christians souls What mischiefs then they may do to mens bodies in England by poysoning of them as they did the English Barons heretofore and Dr. Lopez a Iew would have poysoned Queen Elizabeth of late and what desperate venom they may infuse into their souls by their Iewish Doctrines Synagogues and Antichristian Ceremonies if admitted without such or upon these restrictions or any other let all prudent Christians resolve Since Pope Innocent the 3. himself and Cardinal Hostiensis with other Popish Canonists who have tolerated them give us this account of their requital for it in positive terms Iudaei ingrati progratia reddunt contumeliam pro familiaritate contemptum impendentes nobis illam retributionem quam juxta vulgare proverbium MVS IN PERA SERPENS IN GREMIO IGNIS IN SINV suis consueverunt Hospitibus exhihere Nam sunt quidam quod nefandum est dicere Nutrices Christianas habentes non permittunt lactare filios cum corpus Christi sumpserunt nisi prius per triduum lac effuderint in latrinam quasi intelligunt quod corpus Christ incorporetur ad s●cessum descendat alia inaudita committunt detestabilia quae à fidelibus sunt minime toleranda ne si haec negligunt quae inducunt confusionem fidei INDIGNATIONEM DIVINAM INCVRRANT As therefore Aldredus de Ponte Abbot Panormitan Antonius Corsitus and other Popish Canonists conclude positively That Christians and Christian Kings may lawfully expel and banish all Iews and Infidels out of their Realms though peaceable for their Infidelity and other just causes So may all English Protestants likewise upon the premised reasons conclude we may as justly as lawfully now keep them from re-entring into England notwithststanding the pretence of their conversion to the Faith which I hope I have satisfactorily answered The 2. Allegation for bringing in the Iews is meerly politick That it will bring in much present and future gain and mony to the State and advance trading I answer 1. That if this argument overpoysed not the scales that of conscience the hopes of their conversion would be lighter than the dust of the ballance and sticke with no man their mony being the only engin which hath opened the gate and passage for them into any Christian Kingdoms at first and made new entrance for them when they have been expelled as Concilium Toletanum 4. c. 57. and others inform us This opened their first passage into England Spain Portugal and Philip Augustus who banished them out of France An. 1183. Postea verò quum propter bella inopia laboraret pecuniae acceptae grandi à Iudaeis pecunia redditum cis concessit domicilium Parisiis as Munster and others inform us And this kept them so long in England heretofore till their very banishment A sign we love their money better than their souls or our own 2ly This argument for their readmission is but wordly carnal sensual the very same with that of Hamer to the Shechemites when he would perswade them to be circumcised and turn Iews Gen. 23. 25. shall not their cattle and their substance and every beast of theirs be ours only let us consent unto them and they will dwell with us An argument only fit for such whom the Apostle characterizeth Phil. 3. 18 19. For many walk of whom I have told you often and now tell you weeping that they are the enemies of the Crosse of Christ whose end is destruction whose God is their belly and whose glory is in their shame who mind earthly things Or for such Princes or Governours as God of old complained thus of Her Princes in the midst thereof are like Wolves ravening the prey and to shed blood and TO DESTROY SOULS TO GET DISHONEST GAIN It proceeds from such whose eyes and hearts are not but for their Covetousnes who all seek their own not the things that are Iesus Christs And if the root of it be covetousnesse which is Idolatry which Christ commands all to take heed and beware of and is not so much as to be named much lesse practised amongst Christians whose conversation ought to be without covetousnesse and they to rest contented with those things they have Because l They that will be rich fall into temptations and a snare and into many foolish and noysom lusts which drown men in perdition and destruction For the of Love of mony is the root of all evill which whiles some covered after they have been seduced or erred from the faith as thousands of late years have
