in the false Jews Examinations it is our great mercy that God restrained him from inventing lyes of us for out it had come we must have shared with Lieutenant Collonel Hobson whom here the Gent. present to the world from the Jows mouth a person of credit As a slighter of Ordinances a neglecter of Family Duties For say they the Jew was much pressed by one how he could stand under the power of Lioutenant Collone Hobosons pravers being so long in his Family To which he plainly answered That they used no Family Duties while he was there How Gospel-like had it been if these Gent. had enquired the truth before they had thus published defamed the Lieutenant-Colonel living but ten miles distance I hope he will vindicate himself and shew that he dare not expose himself and Family to that direful curse Ier 10.25 Pour out thy fury upon the Heathen that know thee not and upon the Families that call not on thy Name Having thus wounded the reputation of the Lieutenaut-Colonel they are pleased again to let fly at the Administrator and his Allies for crying up the false Jews Confession To which I answer That if it be well weighed by the judicious Reader as the Confession of a Iew it will appear a very full Confession of a Messiah come in the Flesh For the Gentlemen have dealt most unworthily in concealing that part of his Declaration wherein much of the excellency of a work of grace exquisitely counterfeited by him is contained most in juriously breaking off with a Caetera desiderantur When I demanded of M. Hammond whether he would have denied the Iew Baptism upon this Confession He answered Yes because of his many lies But when I replyed That his lies were unknown to me at that time Nay then said he I should have not denyed him And now I suppose the Gentlemen have not forgot any one passage they have let fly every way at the Church of Hexham at the Administrator at their dear Friend at the Lieutenant-Colonel at Captain Everard at the Army and before they have done My dearly beloved and most cordial Fellow-Labourer will be brought upon the Stage by them Really the Administrator hath as good company as he could wish in this alone the Gentlemen have been courteous 'T is no small mercy my dear Brethren and Friends that you and I are counted worthy to suffer shame for his Name who hath suffered the Fathers wrath for us Heb. 10 32 33. 't is one Gospel-mark of illumination Partly whilest yee are made a gazing stock both by reproaches and afflictions and partly whilest ye became companions of them that were so used And here I present you with the false Iew truly and faithfully as it was written with his own Hand The substance of the Declaration and Confession which was made at the publike Meeting-House at HEXHAM the fourth Moneth the fifth Day 1653. By IOSEPH BEN ISRAEL ROM 11.1 I say then hath God cast away his People God forbid For I also am an Israelite of the Seed of Abraham of the Tribe of Judah Benjamin Men Brethren and Fathers MY purpose is to declare unto this Congregation first my Descent and Education and secondly the great work of my Conversion I verily am a man which am a Iew of the Tribe of Iudah Act. 23. born in Mantua a City in Lombardy a Province of Italy trained up in the Religion of my Fathers and brought up in the choicest learning of my Countrey and having attained unto eight Languages I betook me setiously to the Study of Philosophy where meeting with Plato sirnamed Divine Trinum per unum Socrates and Hermes Trismegistus I found such light in the glorious Mystery of the Triunity that I was wonderfully surprized and amazed and the more that Heathens should come to the knowledge of this most excellent Doctrine O Lord said I how shall those Philosophers rise in judgment against us who have more light even sepher hattorah the Book of the Law the former book rendred them inexcusable but what will become of us who have the revealed Will of God I had not gone three foot-steps in this way but I found Elohim in the plurall number compounded with a singular word Bara created upon which my meditation was much raised to admire this mysterie when passing on a little further I met with Nangas haadam betrolmenu Let us perfect man with our Image Why us but that we should understand the plurality holden forth in the Creator this drew my Meditations first towards the Christians Messiah But now Satan the professed enemy of Christ of al that set their faces towards heaven told me that these were but fancies and delusions of my own brain shall the Heathenish Philosophers be a rule for my Religion no I will follow the Law under which I was born and educated Behold the power of Satans snares and behold the vileness of mine own heart forsaking this blessed light and rejecting all these holy motions returning to my former old waies again But here through the goodness of God I found no rest but very much trouble and anquish of spirit But O the loving kindness of God! whose design graticusly appeared to bring me to the knowledge of himself even from our own way of worship Our Doctors chuse out a place to say every Morning and Evening Shemang Israel Adonay Eloheinu Adona echad Hear O Israel the Lord our God the Lord is one Immediately upon this I find thrice Elohenu Jehovah Iehovah the Lord c.
