A51572	The Messias of the Christians and the Jewes held forth in a discourse between a Christian, and a Iew obstinately adhering to his strange opinions, & the forced interpretations of scripture, wherein Christ the true savior of the whole world is described from the prophets and likewise that false and counterfeited Messias of the Jewes, who in vaine is expected by that nation to this very day, is discovered / written first in Hebrew, but now rendered into English by Paul Isaiah, a Jew born, but now a converted and baptized Christian.

teach_v far_o otherways_o neither_o be_v the_o word_n of_o haggada_n true_a in_o this_o when_o it_o will_v compare_v moses_n to_o christ_n and_o the_o egyptian_a captivity_n to_o the_o captivity_n of_o this_o time_n for_o the_o israelite_n in_o egypt_n do_v serve_v only_a pharaoh_n for_o it_o be_v thus_o write_v moses_n say_v to_o pharaoh_n let_v my_o people_n go_v 7.16_o etc._n etc._n for_o he_o alone_o without_o another_o king_n have_v the_o government_n over_o israel_n and_o when_o he_o will_v not_o let_v they_o go_v god_n with_o a_o strong_a hand_n and_o a_o stretch_v out_o arm_n and_o with_o great_a judgement_n bring_v they_o forth_o 13.9_o but_o in_o the_o present_a captivity_n the_o jew_n be_v not_o only_o under_o the_o power_n of_o the_o pope_n but_o be_v disperse_v and_o

his_o dominion_n furthermore_o moses_n delay_v not_o after_o his_o nativity_n but_o fourscore_o year_n after_o which_o he_o deliver_v israel_n 7.7_o and_o when_o i_o turn_v myself_o to_o the_o word_n of_o the_o thalmud_n which_o say_v the_o messiah_n be_v bear_v but_o hitherto_o have_v delay_v his_o come_n now_o a_o thousand_o and_o five_o hundred_o year_n i_o easy_o conclude_v that_o the_o word_n of_o the_o thalmud_n be_v false_a or_o the_o first_o comparison_n foolish_a i_o will_v have_v you_o at_o least_o to_o take_v this_o to_o heart_n this_o very_a long_a captivity_n which_o have_v no_o end_n or_o bound_v nor_o any_o consolation_n all_o which_o your_o father_n have_v in_o the_o captivity_n of_o babel_n yea_o after_o that_o they_o offend_v god_n by_o their_o manifold_a abomination_n worship_v idol_n and_o profane_v the_o sabbath_n and_o other_o solemnity_n and_o turn_v away_o from_o all_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n proclaim_v by_o moses_n and_o when_o they_o do_v these_o

shall_v be_v carry_v out_o of_o their_o own_o land_n 16.13_o and_o shall_v fall_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o their_o enemy_n loe_o 12.7_o you_o see_v that_o even_o in_o the_o worst_a time_n they_o have_v prophet_n who_o do_v threaten_v they_o and_o again_o give_v they_o word_n of_o comfort_n speak_v to_o their_o heart_n even_o in_o that_o hour_n when_o they_o commit_v the_o evil_a likewise_o in_o the_o hour_n wherein_o they_o go_v into_o banishment_n out_o of_o their_o own_o land_n the_o prophet_n come_v to_o they_o and_o comfort_v they_o and_o the_o lord_n reveal_v to_o they_o the_o end_n of_o their_o captivity_n by_o the_o prophet_n jeremiah_n 25.11_o and_o they_o be_v in_o the_o captivity_n but_o seventy_o year_n but_o in_o the_o modern_a captivity_n there_o be_v not_o a_o

the_o same_o appear_v concerning_o the_o ninevite_n 13._o who_o when_o they_o have_v commit_v all_o wickedness_n so_o soon_o as_o they_o repent_v of_o the_o evil_n 3.10_o god_n be_v merciful_a to_o

captivity_n and_o in_o the_o captivity_n do_v not_o keep_v when_o they_o have_v altogether_o forget_v the_o law_n of_o moses_n but_o notwithstanding_o all_o this_o when_o the_o time_n of_o seventy_o

we_o gather_v when_o the_o israelite_n do_v keep_v the_o sabbath_n and_o make_v repentance_n they_o be_v not_o banish_v from_o their_o own_o land_n but_o in_o the_o modern_a captivity_n the_o jew_n keep_v the_o sabbath_n and_o other_o precept_n of_o god_n they_o make_v repentance_n they_o pray_v and_o give_v alm_n why_o therefore_o do_v not_o the_o messiah_n come_v see_v how_o often_o they_o have_v make_v a_o great_a and_o solemn_a repentance_n with_o their_o whole_a heart_n and_o whole_a soul_n and_o all_o their_o strength_n that_o the_o end_n of_o their_o captivity_n may_v be_v reveal_v to_o they_o but_o their_o prayer_n be_v not_o hear_v they_o do_v that_o especial_o in_o the_o 5262_o year_n of_o the_o world_n which_o be_v the_o 1502_o year_n of_o christ_n when_o all_o the_o jew_n make_v a_o public_a repentance_n through_o all_o their_o habitation_n in_o all_o the_o earth_n and_o through_o the_o whole_a captivity_n and_o that_o almost_o for_o a_o whole_a year_n both_o young_a
