of the Apostle this is opened but the same was also set downe at large long time before the Apostle by the prophet Esay out of which place of Esay it seemeth that the Apostle tooke occasion of all this discourse Let vs Gentiles therefore marke wel what Esay doth prophecie of the Iewes Let the Iewes also attend to the preaching of their owne Prophete who agreeth herein altogether with our Apostle touching the Iewes Behold sayth he the Lord of hostes shall breake downe the bowe with power shall hewe downe the proude and the hygh minded shall he fell downe And there shall aryse an yssue out of the roote of lesse c. And lest the Iewes may cauill that these speaches do nothing concerne them let them harken agayne to the same Prophet not only prophecying of them but also poynting vnto the Iewes with the finger as it were the 17 chapter And in that daye it shall come to passe that the glory of Iacob shall be made very thynne and the fatnesse of his flesh shall waxe leane And immediatly after Some gathering in deede shall be left in it Euen as in the shaking of an Oliue tree whereupon remayneth two o● three berries in the toppe of the vppermost rowe foure or fiue in the broade fruitfull braunches thereof sayth the Lorde God of Israel c. And agayne in an other place For it shall come to passe in the middes of the land euen in the middes of the people as the shaking of an Oliue tree And as the grapes are when the wyne haruest is finished And yet agayne much more plainely in the 63. Chapter Thus sayeth the Lord Lyke as when sweete iuyce is founde in the cluster and one sayeth Lose it not for there is blessing in it Euen so wyll I doe for my seruauntes sake that I may not destroye them all c. Nowe for as much as these thinges are so playne and so manifest that they may be easily felt and handeled as it were with the fyngers what answere doest thou make thou frowarde nation of the Iewes what canst thou bryng what canst thou alleadge if not to defend yet to colour at the lest thy obstinate stubbornesse Hast thou any Scriptures No surely For nothyng maketh more agaynst thee not onely with open mouth exclayming euen to thy teeth against thy blundered blyndenesse wherewich thou hast bene so long ouerwhelmed but also haue long sithence by manifest tokens foretolde howe the same shoulde come to passe Wylt thou vouche the promises and couenauntes which God made vnto thee of olde And what other thing dyd he promyse thee at any tyme then the same which thou doest so disdaynefully pursue Neyther yet cease you to runne onwarde styll gaping after I know not after what Messhias to come What Hath he not yet bene sufficiently ynough looked for by your progenitours who wayted for his comming by the space of two thousand yeres before he came Goe ye to then how long wyll ye yet continue gazing seeyng these thinges are past alreadie Howe long will yee yeelde yo●● selues a mockery not to God onely bu● a Iesting stocke also to all other nations of the worlde sythence all people and tongues do so playnely conceiue that all thinges are long sythence accomplished in the person of Christ Iesu whatsoeuer al your prophets did prophecie of the Messhias And sithence the whole discourse of the holy scriptures doeth so manifestly teache also that there is none other Christ but the same that the whole world doth confesse and worshippe But this one thīg perhaps doth raise vp your crestes and puffe you vp with pryde because you doe conueye vnto your selues so long a discent of your genealogies and kinred from so famous Auncestoures because ye fetche your petigree and families from Abraham and the holy Patriarches and in that respect you do reprochefully disdayne all other nations as though God had created them to no purpose at all But let vs see by what reason with what conscience you are enduced heerevnto If you iudge this a matter of so great importaunce that ye can rehearse in a long ●eadroll of names your Generations discended out of the loynes of Abraham what And can not Ismael Esau Saul can not Dathan and Abyron and all that other rascall rabble of Hebrews who made insurrection agaynst Moses finally can not many wicked kinges amongst you false prophets horrible church robbers Idolaters euen amiddes amongst you vaunte vpon the selfe same race and parentage whereupon you braue your selues so gloriously Whereupon appeareth playnly that this outwarde discent of blood and fleshly progenie doth not auayle so much for your challenge but that there is some other thing that maketh a kindly generation and the true ofspring of Abraham in the sight of god Moreouer if it may be lawfull to glory in the auncient stocke what may be thought of Christ him selfe whom we do worshippe in whome if ye require who was his father he came not in deed from man but discended from god But if you demaunde of his mother he is on the mothers side a Iewe borne according to the flesh the sonne of Abraham an yssue of the same seed that you are whose children you challenge your selfe to be according to the fleshe And wherefore then do you so cruelly detest him Why do your brethren so hatefully enuie and maligne your naturall brother And beeyng Iewes borne your selues why do you so vylanously persecute your naturall kinseman beyng likewise a Iewe borne and why haue you slayne him so cruelly And what hath he committed at any time worthy of this so monstruous rancor cankered despite Was it because he did professe him selfe to be the Sonne of God Albeit he did neuer speake any thing in his owne commendation without singular modestie neyther boasted in his speach further of him self then that he was the sonne of man yet if this same he were not the very true vndoubte● sonne of God do ye then nominate some one man vpon ●arth whom you may iustifie was his father and condemne the whole historie of the new Testament to be lyes if you can What trow you would his Apostles other his disciples being dayly and hourly conuersant with him self his mother his mothers husband so throughly accōpanied acquainted with all the actions of his life haue bin so wilfully and foolishly blinded as to giue such credite vnto him to beleeue in him would they haue setled the whole affyaunce of their saluation in him would they so couragiously haue vndertaken so many perilous hazardes of life would they so constantly haue yelded their carkasses to all maner of horrible tortures not in woordes onely but with losse of lyfe also ratifiyng and test●fiyng the thing whi●h they knewe to be in him most assured and that with effusion of their blood if they had seene nought else in him beyond the naturall substance of man and not rather conceyuing

redeemer and attaine eternall saluation of bodie and soule together with vs in thy euerlasting kingdom through thee our Lord and Sauiour Amen FINIS Imprinted at London by Christopher Barker Printer to the Queenes Maiestie ANNO. 1578. The confession of faith which Nathanael a lewe borne made before the Congregation in the Parish church of Alhallowes in Lombard streete at London whereupon he was according to his desire receiued into the number of the faithfull and so baptized the first of April 1577. MEn and brethrē to whom God hath reuealed in these later dayes the secrete of his sonne which was hidden from you many ages it is not vnknowen vnto you how that in the dayes of our forefathers God chose vs to be a precious people vnto himself aboue all the people that are vpon the earth and he loued vs and chose vs not because we were mo in number then anie people for we were the fewest of all people but hee chose vs onely because hee loued vs and because he would keepe the othe which he had sworne vnto our fathers Abraham Isaac Iacob By vertue of which promise the same our Lord and God whose name is Iehouah brought our fathers by a mightie hande and deliuered them out of the house of bondage from the hande of Pharaoh King of Egypt that they might knowe that the Lorde their God is the God in deede the faithfull God which keepeth couenant and mercie vnto thē that loue him and keepe his cōmandements euen to a thousand generations According to which great vnspeakeable louing kindnesse he kept and preserued our fathers in the land of Israel which he had giuen them vnder the obedience of his Lawe in such seruice of sacrifices and other rites as he had appointed them to be done and practised all the dayes of their liues in the citie of Ierusalem where was his Temple built vpon the mount Sion so long as they kept them selues in obedience to the same Lawe and ordinances But when they forsaked the Lord their God and cleaued vnto false gods he rewarded them to their face because they hated him and brought them to destruction by deliuering them into the handes of manie enemies as into the hands of Nabuchadnezer by whom they were caried into captiuitie to Babylon and there remained the dayes foretolde them by our Prophet Ieremie Fulfilling thereby the wordes of our Prophet Moseh foretelling vs that it should so be if we forsooke the Lord our God and leauing vs their posteritie an example thereby that if we followed like iniquitie like seueritie of punishment should ouertake vs As it came to passe and is fulfilled in the eyes of all the world by this captiuitie which we are now in and haue been in we and our forefathers euer since the death of that righteous man Iesus Christ whome the Scribes and Pharisies and Elders of our people deliuered into the handes of Pontius Pilate to be put to death being before betrayed into their handes by one of his owne disciples that sonne of perdition Iudas Ishcarioth As our forefathers then pronoūced against them selues Let his bloud be vpon our heads and vpon our children so it is come to passe by the righteous iudgement of that mightie dreadfull god For euen from those dayes vnto this present the whole house of Israel that is wee that come of the stocke of Abraham after the fleshe is are strangers out of the land of Israel our owne countrie without Lawe or Prophets without all exercise of his statutes and ordinances concerning his worshippe prescribed vnto vs by the hande of his seruant Moseh This long and weariesome captiuitie hath consumed a great number of our forefathers ●nd hath caused some of vs frō time to time through the grace and loue of God wherewith hee loueth vs for the promise sake to thinke vpō our promised Messhiach conferring these dayes of sorowe calamitie with our former captiuities of our fathers which were nothing so many in number of yeres nor so grieuous for want of our Prophets These fiftene hundreth yeres haue we bene strangers these fiftene hūdreth yeres haue we lacked our Prophets a thing not seen at any time before whē we our fathers were caried into a strange land For in Egypt they had Mosheh Aaron and in Babylon they had Ieremie Daniel besides Ezra Nechemiah and manie other onely in this captiuitie is Israel left desolate and our Prophets cleane gone Whereof when it pleased God I should haue consideration I was lead to thinke that our Messhiach is come and that our long looking for an other was but in vaine And that rather for that I see the wordes of Iacob our father accomplished where hee sayeth The Scepter shall not depart from Iudah nor a lawegiuer from betweene his feete vntill Shiloh come and the people shal be gathered vnto him For the Scepter and gouernement was continued in the house of Iudah as our fathers accord vntill the comming of this man Iesus in whom if it were not continued according to the woordes of our scriptures it hath failed and wanted euer since For since the dayes of that iust man there hath bene no Scepter amongest vs neither haue we or do we runne for iudgements vnto Ierusalem So that if the wordes of our father Iacob be true That the Scepter should not depart from the house of Iudah vntill Shilo came and there is no Scepter nor Lawegiuer nowe in that house then must it needes be that this man Iesus whō you confesse and beleeue is that Shilo which was to come and is that childe of whom one or our Prophetes sayeth Unto vs a childe is borne and vnto vs a sonne is giuen and the gouernement is vpon his shoulder And hee shall call his name Wonderfull Counseller The mightie God The euerlasting Father the Prince of peace the increase of his gouernement and peace shall haue none end he shall sitte vpon the throne of Dauid and vpon his kingdome to order it to stablish it with iudgement and iustice from henceforth euen for euer The zeale of the Lord of hosts will performe this This man then no doubt is that Messhiach which was looked for according to promise and our fathers and people acknowledge not fulfilling in them selues the wordes of their owne mouth His bloud be vpon our heads In deede it seemed strange to me and doth to the rest of my brethren according to the flesh euē vnto this daye in whome this blindnesse and hardnesse of heart is in part continued through occasion giuen by them that professe the name of this man Iesus And not onely in vs which are of the house of Israel but in other as the Turkes and Mahomets which are of the race of Ishmael For had it not bene for the great and manifolde Idolatrie that is committed and vsed amongst the Christians almost in all places where his Name is professed manie of our nation had repēted in
