A87478	The resurrection of dead bones, or, The conversion of the Jewes. In a treatise, wherein are clearly demonstrated the places where, and manner how the ten supposed lost Tribes of Israel do at this day subsist. With a description of the future glorious estate of the Twelve, at the incomparable union of Judah and Ephraim; which must shortly be in reference to its compleating the whole mysterie of mans redemption, and real establishing of the kingdom of Jesus Christ, after the Jews conversion. / Written by J.J. Philo-Judæus.	J. J.	1655 (1655)	Wing J19; Thomason E1501_1; ESTC R208651	64,571	139

in_o no_o wise_a understand_v it_o for_o it_o be_v write_v in_o the_o evangelist_n that_o he_o speak_v to_o they_o in_o parable_n and_o in_o dark_a say_n only_o to_o fulfil_v the_o scripture_n that_o israel_n see_v he_o yet_o shall_v not_o see_v nor_o hear_n shall_v understand_v for_o when_o christ_n tell_v the_o jew_n of_o raise_v the_o destroy_a temple_n in_o three_o day_n time_n he_o make_v it_o not_o clear_a to_o they_o for_o he_o then_o speak_v of_o the_o temple_n of_o his_o body_n and_o upon_o that_o the_o hebrew_n be_v not_o able_a to_o apprehend_v his_o true_a meaning_n it_o seem_v but_o as_o a_o vain_a say_n to_o they_o but_o for_o the_o matter_n in_o that_o place_n where_o the_o lord_n do_v affirm_v he_o be_v before_o abraham_n there_o be_v their_o great_a mistake_n now_o they_o mean_v according_a to_o their_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n as_o he_o take_v upon_o he_o the_o humane_a nature_n sin_n only_o except_v but_o he_o mean_v according_a unto_o his_o eternal_a godhead_n who_o be_v that_o lamb_n slay_v from_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n now_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o evangelist_n st._n john_n that_o when_o they_o hear_v these_o say_n they_o be_v offend_v and_o cry_v out_o who_o can_v hear_v it_o and_o thereupon_o many_o of_o his_o disciple_n be_v so_o foolish_a as_o that_o they_o revolt_v from_o christ_n this_o be_v a_o great_a default_n in_o they_o then_o in_o the_o jew_n which_o make_v our_o saviour_n wonder_n and_o say_v to_o the_o twelve_o will_v you_o go_v away_o also_o and_o notwithstanding_o their_o present_a detestation_n of_o so_o base_a a_o relapse_n yet_o we_o know_v that_o when_o he_o come_v to_o suffer_v his_o disciple_n run_v their_o way_n and_o leave_v he_o then_o if_o a_o christian_n faith_n may_v be_v so_o totter_v no_o marvel_n the_o jew_n do_v not_o then_o accept_v he_o for_o their_o messiah_n but_o chief_o our_o saviour_n do_v drive_v at_o this_o that_o he_o may_v beat_v the_o jew_n off_o from_o their_o own_o self-righteousness_n and_o hypocritical_a work_n and_o for_o this_o cause_n they_o say_v he_o come_v to_o destroy_v and_o to_o abrogate_v the_o law_n of_o moses_n that_o he_o will_v sit_v at_o meat_n with_o publican_n and_o sinner_n do_v cure_n on_o the_o sabbath-day_n and_o the_o like_a but_o the_o last_o and_o great_a hindrance_n of_o their_o belief_n next_o unto_o god_n purpose_n be_v in_o that_o he_o who_o they_o believe_v be_v or_o will_v be_v god_n with_o they_o be_v or_o shall_v be_v capable_a of_o suffer_a death_n wherefore_o say_v the_o jew_n if_o the_o king_n of_o israel_n let_v he_o save_v himself_o so_o that_o the_o most_o ready_a among_o they_o to_o believe_v on_o christ_n when_o he_o come_v to_o suffer_v do_v then_o fall_v away_o as_o in_o the_o 24_o of_o luke_n v._o 21._o but_o we_o trust_v it_o have_v be_v he_o who_o shall_v have_v redeem_v israel_n and_o herein_o consist_v the_o invalidity_n of_o their_o thesis_n they_o do_v not_o firm_o believe_v but_o only_o suppose_v that_o this_o be_v he_o their_o faith_n be_v as_o little_a or_o rather_o less_o than_o the_o faith_n of_o thomas_n but_o jesus_n christ_n call_v that_o a_o bless_a faith_n which_o be_v the_o substance_n of_o thing_n only_o hope_v for_o but_o as_o i_o say_v all_o along_o so_o now_o god_n time_n it_o seem_v be_v not_o as_o yet_o come_v and_o therefore_o his_o justice_n must_v and_o will_v be_v full_o satisfy_v before_o mercy_n will_v extend_v unto_o any_o man_n we_o all_o know_v that_o if_o god_n shall_v not_o punish_v for_o sin_n it_o will_v much_o derogate_v from_o his_o holiness_n which_o attribute_n god_n do_v so_o excel_v in_o as_o it_o be_v say_v he_o hate_v to_o look_v upon_o sin_n and_o without_o the_o participation_n of_o which_o no_o soul_n can_v enter_v into_o glory_n and_o further_o it_o be_v requisite_a and_o just_a that_o the_o lord_n shall_v so_o punish_v israel_n because_o that_o who_o he_o love_v he_o chasten_v and_o when_o god_n do_v suffer_v any_o one_o to_o go_v on_o in_o his_o sin_n unpunished_a it_o argue_v that_o he_o lie_v under_o the_o heavy_a sentence_n of_o god_n displeasure_n the_o apostle_n st._n paul_n have_v never_o find_v out_o that_o good_a way_n not_o of_o damascus_n but_o that_o which_o lead_v to_o eternal_a happiness_n if_o the_o lord_n have_v not_o first_o strike_v he_o blind_a so_o his_o brethren_n the_o jew_n must_v not_o go_v to_o their_o journey_n end_n without_o cross_n and_o persecution_n for_o it_o be_v not_o only_o a_o narrow_a way_n but_o it_o be_v a_o perilous_a way_n a_o pass_z scarce_o passable_a by_o reason_n of_o those_o many_o tribulation_n and_o various_a trial_n that_o the_o faithful_a meet_v withal_o in_o their_o pilgrimage_n and_o therefore_o great_a be_v the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n which_o go_v along_o with_o their_o captivity_n then_o let_v not_o christian_n that_o think_v they_o stand_v boast_v nor_o be_v high-minded_a as_o there_o be_v no_o cedar_n in_o lebahon_n but_o be_v liable_a to_o lop_n so_o there_o be_v no_o christian_a so_o tall_a nor_o steady_a but_o may_v fall_v into_o most_o gross_a and_o scandalous_a enormity_n yea_o so_o low_a as_o that_o god_n may_v seem_v to_o have_v forsake_v he_o for_o a_o season_n as_o he_o have_v the_o jew_n for_o be_v not_o this_o write_v for_o eternity_n to_o consider_v on_o how_o notwithstanding_o all_o the_o good_a deed_n of_o hezekiah_n yet_o he_o be_v brand_v or_o rather_o cloud_v with_o this_o exprobration_n that_o he_o render_v not_o unto_o the_o lord_n according_a unto_o what_o he_o have_v receive_v and_o be_v not_o this_o the_o reason_n of_o israel_n dejection_n and_o present_a rejection_n because_o the_o scripture_n say_v he_o reject_v and_o put_v far_o away_o from_o he_o all_o the_o lord_n benefit_n jesurun_n have_v enough_o nay_o rather_o too_o much_o of_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n except_o he_o have_v make_v better_a improvement_n of_o they_o then_o to_o kick_v and_o spurn_v against_o god_n and_o his_o holy_a word_n certain_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o give_v any_o man_n riches_n or_o show_v any_o man_n mercy_n that_o thereby_o he_o shall_v rebel_v shall_v we_o sin_v because_o grace_n abound_v god_n forbid_v nay_o rather_o with_o saul_n we_o shall_v admire_v the_o exceed_a riches_n of_o freegrace_n that_o such_o bondman_n as_o the_o israelite_n in_o egypt_n be_v and_o that_o such_o great_a sinner_n as_o we_o be_v shall_v obtain_v the_o least_o crumb_n of_o mercy_n this_o be_v indeed_o be_v their_o misery_n that_o they_o know_v not_o that_o it_o be_v god_n that_o do_v draw_v they_o as_o it_o be_v with_o bond_n of_o love_n neither_o study_v for_o to_o know_v and_o for_o this_o cause_n have_v the_o lord_n cast_v they_o down_o so_o low_a that_o nothing_o can_v raise_v they_o out_o of_o their_o blind_a and_o undo_v estate_n but_o the_o omnipotent_a word_n of_o the_o lord_n which_o resurrection_n or_o restauration_n will_v be_v accomplish_v by_o take_v away_o those_o scale_n of_o unbelief_n which_o hang_v before_o their_o eye_n for_o they_o be_v not_o yet_o arrive_v to_o damascus_n neither_o as_o yet_o be_v ananias_n come_v to_o they_o they_o be_v not_o thither_o come_v because_o there_o be_v none_o as_o yet_o that_o do_v take_v this_o blind_a creature_n by_o the_o hand_n whereby_o to_o guide_v she_o and_o he_o that_o will_v enlighten_v the_o dark_a mind_n of_o
