A91275	A short demurrer to the Jewes long discontinued remitter into England. Comprising an exact chronological relation of their first admission into, their ill deportment, misdemeanors, condition, sufferings, oppressions, slaughters, plunders, by popular insurrections, and regal exactions in; and their total, final banishment by judgment and edict of Parliament, out of England, never to return again: collected out of the best historians. With a brief collection of such English laws, Scriptures, as seem strongly to plead, and conclude against their readmission into England, especially at this season, and against the general calling of the Jewish nation. With an answer to the chief allegations for their introduction. / By William Prynne Esq; a bencher of Lincolnes-Inne.; Short demurrer to the Jewes long discontinued remitter into England. Part 1.	Prynne, William, 1600-1669.	1656 (1656)	Wing P4078; Thomason E483_1; ESTC R203287	90,701	118

being thrust out and meeting his Father standing before the door expecting the event being animated against him said O Son of death and ●ewel of eternal perdition is not thine own damnation sufficient for thee unless thou also cast me head long into it together with thee But God forbid that I to whom Christ is now revealed should ever acknowledge thee henceforth for a Father because the devil is thy father I have omitted in this Demurrer no passage to my knowledge in any of our Historians relating to our former English Iews reciting them all in a Chronological Order in the Historians own words quoted in the Margin only I finde these 2 Records concerning them which I shall here supply Rot. Claus 1. E. 1. R●● The King constituted by his Charter Hamon Hattain and Robert de Luvenham his Iustices for the custody of the Jews and thereupon issued a Mandate to the Treasurer and Barons of the Eschequer to deliver unto them the Keys of the Chest of the Iews together with the Rolls Writs all other things belonging to that Office of the Iews as had formerly been accustomed to be done to other Iustices And Rot. Claus 3. Ed. 1. Mem. 17. The King sent a Mandate to the Iustices of the Iews to do justice and proceed in a cause according to the custome of Iudaism I have herein only briefly touched not handled the great Question of the general calling conversion of the Iewish Nation to the Faith of Christ towards the end of the world for which I cannot finde any satisfactory grounds in Scripture That Text of Levit. 26. 41 to 46. on which some build their general call having these two clauses in it that seem strongly to oppose or make it very dubious v. 41. IF THEN their uncircised heart be humbled and that they accept of the punishment of their iniquity c. v. 46. I will not cast them away neither will I abhor them to DESTROY THEM UTTERLY And that other Text of Rom. 11. whereon others most rely having this conditional passage express clauses against it v. 23. And they also IF they abide not still in unbelief shall be grafted in for God is able he saith not resolved to graffe them in again And v. 3 to 8. I have reserved to my self 7000 men c. Even so then at this present time there is a Remnant according to the election of grace c. But the Election hath obtained it and the rest were hardned or blinded Which compared with Rom. 9. 27 29. Isaiah also saith concerning Israel Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the Sea yet a remnant of them only shall be saved Isa 10. 22 23 c. will necessarily evince that Rom. 11. 26. And so all Israel shall be saved c. on which they ground this general call must be intended onely of all this small elect remnant of the Israel of God and seed of Abraham according to the faith not flesh Rom. 4 11 12 13 14 15 16. Gal. 3. 7 8 9 14 16. Ga. 6. 16. of all such who are Jews inwardly and have the Circumcision of the heart Rom. 2. 28 19. not of the whole Jewish Nation And those who will strain that Text further must necessarily aver not only an universal calling but likewise salvation and taking away the ungodliness and sins of that whole Nation then by Christ of which that Text only speaks not only conttary to these forecited Scriptures and Gods dealing with all other Churches Nations but to Jer. 3. 14. I will take you one of a City and two of a Tribe and I will bring you to Sion Mat. 21. 16. Many are called but few chosen few saved Mat. 7. 14. Luke 13. 23. Therefore for any to call in the Jews among us upon this surmise of their general approaching Conversion is a strange Solecism both in State Policy and Christianity especially in this age wherein that Speech of Wal●ramus Bishop of Naumburge is most truely verified Diabolus videns Idola derelicta per nimium credentium populum sedes suas ac templa deserta excognitavit novam fraudem ut sub ipso Christiani nominis titulo fallat incantos haeresesque inevnit schismata quibus subverteret fidem corrumperet veritatem Exinde divisa est Ecclesia divisa sunt Ecclesiae Sacerdotia atque omnia scandalorum orta sunt gene●a Exinde crevit grave diuturnum bellum non solum civile bellum sed plusquam civile bellum factae sunt absque divino pariter humano respectu vastationes Ecclesiarum caedes hominum Exinde etiam corruptae sunt divinae pariter humanae leges sine quibus non subsistit vel Dei Ecclesia vel Imperii Respublica ex inde violata est fides publica Catholica exinde etiam illa crevit injustitia ut pro veritate falsa testimonia pro fide Catholica abundent perjuria ut post quam Leges bello silvere coactae impleaturiam ista Domini sententia per Osee Prophetam Non est veritas non est misericordia non scientia Dei in terra maledictum mendacium homicidium furtum adulterium inundaverunt sanguis sanguinem tetigit Ipse Diabolus videtur nunc de carcere suo solutus esse Hinc publicae civium contra Cives congressiones aliis pro pastoribus legitimis aliis vero contra pastores dimicantes as he and Gerhobus Richerspergensis writ of Pope Hildebrands dayes If any man chance to censure me as overharsh or earnest in my expressions against the Jews I hope that speech of their royal Prophet a man after Gods own heart Ps 139. 20 21 22. Do not I hate them O Lord that hate thee and am I not grieved with those that rise up against thee I hate them with a perfect hatred I count them mine enemies for they speak against thee wickedly depart from me therefore ye bloody men will apologize for me especially seeing their Proposals are Not only to be admitted and received into our Commonwealth under the protection and safeguard of our Governours AS THE NATIVES THEMSELVES and that all the Heads and Generals of Arms may take an Oath to defend them upon all occasions that they may be permitted to traffick freely in all sorts of Merchandize as others but to be judged by their Judges in differences between themselves according to the Mosaick Law And to be allowed PUBLICK SYNAGOGUES not onely in ENGLAND but also IN ALL OTHER PLACES under our tower and TO OBSERVE IN ALL THINGS THEIR RELIGION AS THEY OUGHT That in case there have been any Laws against their Jewish Nation they may IN THE FIRST PLACE and BEFORE ALL THINGS BE REVOKED A clear evidence of an intended design in them only to set up their Synagogues of Satan Judaism Jewish Ceremonies in the highest degree amongst us as lawful in direct opposition

so many dayes with milk he might living suffer many sorts of torments When the K. returned from the Northern parts of England and was certified of the premisses he reprehended Sir John that he had promised life and members to so flagitious a person which he could not give for that blasphemer and homicide was worthy the punishment of many sorts of death And when as unavoydable Judgement was ready to be executed upon this Offender he said My death is now approaching neither can my Lord John preserve me who am ready to perish I now relate the truth to you all Almost all the Jews of England consented to the death of this child whereof the Jews are accused and almost out of every city in England wherein the Jews inhabit certain chosen persons were called together to the immolation of that child as to a Paschal Sacrifice And when as he had spoken these things together with other dotages being tied to an horses tail and drawn to the Gallows he was presented to the aereal Cacodaemons in body and soul and 91 other Jews partakers of this wickednesse being carried in Carts to London were there committed to prison Who if so be they were casually bewailed by any Christians yet they were deplored by the Caursini the Popes Italian Usurers their corrivals with dry eys Afterwards by the Inquisition of the Kings Justices it was discovered found That the Iews of England by Common Councel had slain the innocent Child punished for many days and crucified But after this the Mother of the said child constantly prosecuting her appeal before the King against them for that iniquity and such a death God the Lord of Revenges rendred them a condigne retribution according to their merits for on St. Clements day 88. of the richest and greatest Jews of the City of London were drawn and hanged up in the air upon new Gibbets especially prepared for that purpose and more than 23 others were reserved in the Tower of London to the like judgement I have transcribed this History at large out of Matthew Paris who flourished at that time because our other Historians doe but briefly touch it and because it undeniably manifests the transcendent impiety blasphemy malice persecution and obloquy of the Jews against our Saviour Jesus Christ and Christians and their constant usual practise of crucifying Children almost every year in contempt and reproach of our crucified Saviour by common consent which Mr. Nye conceived might be easily wiped off as false and not fully proved or charged on them by our Historians which this ensuing passage concerning these Jews will further ratify Certain infamous Jews being 71 in number adjudged to death by the Oath of 25 Knights for the miserable death of the Child crucified at Lincoln being reserved in the Prisons of London to be hanged Anno 1256 the year after their condemnation sent secret Messengers as their enemies affirm to the Friers Minors that they might intercede for them that they might be delivered from death and prison being notwithstanding worthy of the most shamefull death Whereupon they as the world reports if the world in such a case be to be credited by the mediation of money freed them by their prayers and intercession both from the prison and from the death which they had deserved led thereto with a spirit of piety as I think is piously to be believed Because so long as any man is in life and in this world he hath free will may be saved and there is hope of him But yet for the Devil or the manifestly damned we are not to hope nor pray because there is no hope of them for death and a definitive sentence at once irrevobly intangle them Neither could this answer excuse the Minors for although they were not guilty yet the scandal did defame them The common people now hath withdrawn their hands that they do not benefit them with their alms as heretofore and the Londoners devotion is grown cold towards the Minorites For procuring these condemned Jews life and liberty whose money it seemeth could even corrupt these very self-denying Popish Saints who had renounced the world in habit but not in heart All the Prelates of England in the year 1257. drew up certain Articles in writing concerning their liberties which they intended to present to the King and Nobles to be ratified by them in Parliament in due season wherein they complain Artic. 32 33. That when as the Jews are convicted before the Ecclesiastical Judges for delinquency against an Ecclesiastical person or for Ecclesiastical things or for sacriledge or for laying violent hands upon a Clerk or for adultery with a Christian woman the conusans of the cause is hindered by the Kings prohibition because it alleageth that they have their proper Judge the Sheriff of the place and their proper delegated Judges who may and ought to have conusance of these things And yet if they be convented by a Clergy-man or Lay-man before them for such things upon the denial thereof by the person alone the simple assertion of another Jew and of one Christian without the administring of any Oath they purge themselves the proof of the prosecutor being utterly rejected Item If Communion be denied to them by the Church because they bear not their Table or signe or because they retain Christian Nurses against the precepts of the Church or if they be excommunicated for some other excesses the Bayliffs or Officers of the King communicating with them command on the behalf of our Lord the King himself that they be not avoided by any and cause them to be admitted and received to Communion Against which Grievances in derogation of Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction the Bishops then thus provided And because in like manner the office of the Prelates is hindred when as it happens a Jew offending against Ecclesiastical things and persons shall be convented for these things before them and for other things which apperta●n to the Ecclesiastical Court of meer right We provide that the Jew notwithstanding shall be compelled to answerin these cases by the interdict ofcommerce contracts and communion of the faithfull likewise the inhibiters hinderers and distrainers shall incurre the punishments of interdiction and excommunication l In the year of Christ 1259. On the Feast of Christs Nativity a certain creature Elias a Jew of London whose Sirname was Bishop fearing danger and manifest damnation to himself fled to the laver of defence and salvation and was new-born in the Spirit for being cleansed with wholesom Baptism two others also accompanying him he was delivered out of the lot of the Devil and saved from the revenge of the most wicked crime heretofore committed by him For it was said that in his house that poysonous drink was made which had proved mortal and perillous to many Nobles of England poysoned therewith by the Jews which even he himself as was reported well confessed But then he was a Devil but now throughly changed
