TVVO EPISTLES VNTO GREAT MEN OF BRITANIE IN THE YEARE 1599. Requesting them to put their neckes vnto the work of theyr Lord To break the bread of the soule unto the hungry Iewes by theyr writinges or by theyr charges through such as be ready to declare all that theyr necessity doth require Printed now the second time in the yeare synce the creation of the world 5532. Or yeare of the LORD 1606. Translated by the Auctour for the use of such as would should know what in this cause ought to be performed TO THE RIGHT HONORABLE THE TEMPORAL LORDS OF the Q. of Englandes most excellent privey Counsell It is high time right honorable that som order were taken for that matter which the Q. Ambassadour of Byzāttium iudged likely to turn to the good of Cristēdome by right vsage An entrance into which busines standeth in answering D. Abraham Ruben the Ebrew his Epistle which to pas over in silence any indifferent wil iudg it great prophanesse Hee speaketh glorious thinges of Gods goodnes vpon vs. vnto which if wee giue no acclamation wee may iustly be counted godles The Q. also is highly extolled by him for extraordinary breading of rare knowledge Where as it is profitable for the realme that shee should be counted in trueth no lesse then in title defendour of the fayth which defence standeth chiefly in breeding rare skil for the trueth clearnes of the holy Scripture so it is nedefull to confirm the Iewes praysing in that her Divines shew in worck all which his wordes tell whereby the Ambassadour be not counted a Thraso for his nation but honorable in sage spech Moreover the Iew made a petition honorable for the Q. to performe and such as she may not deny without open contempt of Christianitie That one might be sent to Constātina able to direct the Iewes willing to learne Christianity It is reported in Germanie that this Doctor hath turned full many to our fayth who if they be not wel directed will turne to many by waies And the nation that setleth them should finde Eternal blessing of God and honour among men An other petition also he hath as profitable for our nation as nedeful for Iewes and pleasant for a man of Learning to vndertake He requesteth a full treatise for the Scripture against the Law of traditions or Talmud Here great matter of infinite vse might be handled for both testaments their tongues copie how they shewe Gods wisedome and quick eye and theyr story pithily compact with Christianity breathing through all So for Iewes traditions the Ierusalemy Talmud might be printed with approbation for their examininge of much text but in such pointes as Rabbines wrest to defeate S. Stephen Actes 7. who truly saith that after Idolathrous Terahs death Abraham was called from Charan and to disgrace S. Paul geving Saul and Samuel 40. yeares they most impudently geue Samuel but 11. and Saul bare two against their owne graunt vpon Midras tillin Psalm 24. So to defeate the Iubilees that they fall not vpon our Lords death which one poinct falling out from the partition of the Land by fifties vnto redemption makes all past gainsaying here to worke disturbance they confound all So where Gabriel telleth an end of Circumcision sacrifice and all Moses and the Gentiles callinge into equall covenaunt there of malice they wander exceedingly And for the familie of David to disgrace S. Luke and S. Mathew they forge vanity For all such they should be confuted And generally for all their traditiones whereof they that once were lawfull had expresse limitation when they should ende And all their owne additions were foolish or nedeles For these every Massecheth or treatise might be confuted This farr reacheth the Iewes Epistle that which I haue sene His desire of awnswer appeareth in that he wrote a second which the Post of Strasburge hath lost The iourneys of it are so far examined Your honours must shew what you meane to doe in this case Religion with policy as I trow forbid you to neglect it Yf your honours thinke otherwise that I may discharge my self and make away for other states to thinck vpon this same cause I trust your Lordships will not be offended that I print this Letter in sondry languages Thus I commend your HH to God as you regarde his H. Christianity commended vnto you BASIL 29. Iulij 1599.
