Recutitos so † Martial And * Persius Verpos as also Juvenal There is wit in these but so unseemly as I must forbeare to English them They were jeeres at their circumcision 2. Did the Jewes abhor the Gentiles and not converse with them the Gentiles on the other side would hold their Nose at the Jewes when they met them and cry * Faetentes Judaeos stinking Jewes † vel fortuitum eorum occursum oculis horrebant animo persequebantur they abhord the sight of them if by chance they met them And 3. esteemed them of all Nations the worst so Marcus the Emperour but passing through Judaea to Egypt and observing their manners dolenter dicitur exclamasse O Marcomanni O Quadi O Sarmatas tandem alios vobis deteriores inveni which was as if when wee would expresse the wretchednesse of any Nation we accounted most vile should say O you Canniballs yea barbarous savages that are found amongst the wildest Africans or Americans We have at length found and light upon a Generation of men worse by far then you In this manner doth he speak of these Iewes And 4. As the Iewes turned it into a curse to be a Gentile as you heard so the Gentiles in their cursings turned the like upon the Jewes Jer. 24. 9. And I will deliver them to be removed into all the Kingdomes of the Earth for their hurt to BE AREPROCH and a PROVERB and a TAVNT and a CURSE in all places whither I shall drive them It was Gods own Retaliation upon them and fulfilled as we now so the Hearthen then imprecated on themselves I were a Iew if I did so or so and thus in all places as the Prophet hath it yea Jer. 42. 18. they were made an EXECRATION AN ASTONISHMENT and A CURSE What can be more 5. As they esteemed all other Nations as Doggs and Beasts the Gentile doth the like by them and reckons them but as Swine the most contemtible of Beasts and this in a witty retortion from the Iewish practices Nec distare putant humana carne suillam putting this interpreation upon their forbearance to eate swines flesh that mankind and swine were alike to them And 6. As they hated all Nations so the Gentiles resented accordingly this Catholique spirit in the Jew against them all which turned their hearts universally to hate them Ashuerus had 127. Provinces amongst which the Jewes as we reade had enemies in them all Est 8. 9. and 9. 16. compared whom the Kings Letters restrained with difficulty from falling on them in every Nation And they accuse and arraign the Jewes 1. As hurtfull to Kings and Provinces Ezra 4. 15. as continually moving sedition in the same place of Ezra 4. 15. They are a people that of old time have moved sedition And the same aspersion went current among the Romanes and Greekes many hundred yeeres after These men being Jewes doe exceedingly trouble our City Acts 16. 20. say the Philippians to the Magistrates of the City They lay their accusation that it was the genius of the Nation it is their Knowne custome so to doe 2. As unsociable to the rest of mankind Antiochus friends in Diodorus pleaded thus against the Jew That they alone of all Nations were insociable and not capable of any mixture or coalescency with them no not at table {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} In Esther you have the same intimated c. 3. 8. There is a certaine people speaking of the Jewes scattered abroad and dispersed among the people whose lawes are diverse from all people c. 3. The Gentiles accused them as enemies to all Nations so in that of Diodorus {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} that they wisht well to none and not only so {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} to account all others enemies So also Tacitus l 5. adversus omnes alios hostile odium an hostile and deadly hatred is in them against all others Yea {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} haters of mankind so also it followes there in Diodorus 'T is strange the Apostle should expresse it in the very same manner and neere the same words They ARE CONTRARY TO ALL MEN and God they please not 1 Thess. 2. 16 17. 4. As they founded their hatred against the Gentiles on this that they were Worshippers of other Gods so the Gentiles accused and detested them as * Hostes immortalium Deorum Enemies of the immortall Gods and Religion was the cause of all this these rites here were the partition wall And Lastly Under the notion of such a manner of persons as these were they universally hated by all Nations as the Bookes of the Prophets doe shew especially Ezekiel and Jeremy where the Cup is carried to all Nations for no other crime then their enmity to the Jewes likewise the Bookes of Esther and Ezra and accordingly persecuted they were upon that account banisht out of Rome againe and againe as by Claudius Acts 16. 20. As by other Emperours and at last they destroyed both their City and Common-wealth You have seene the enmities of both And was there not cause to wish and pray as David Ps. 14. upon the like occasion Oh that the salvation or Saviour and Messiah were come out of Sion or The desire of all Nations were come This for the story of their enmity afore their conversion that of their enmity and dissentions that continued after though proper to this yet comes more fitly in and cannot be disjoynted from the third part of this Discourse where it will have its place in order to shew How those enmities were actually allayed and composed betweene them II. PART II. Head What hath been done in the person of Christ himselfe on the Crosse Virtually and Representatively towards our reconciliation Mutuall A two-fold reconciliation between the Saints themselves in and by Christ held forth in the words and distinguisht THis second is to unfold the transactions by which Christ hath virtually slaine and abolisht all this enmity and procured this peace Now to make way for the distinct handling of what belongs to this second Head from what is to follow in the third And to sever the one from the other I desire that in the text this difference may be observed betweene the things that Christ hath done for the effecting and accomplishment of that peace 1. What was transacted and done simply and abstractly in his owne person alone for the procurement of it On the Crosse 2. What he workes efficiently in us though concretely in himselfe upon us by his Spirit and through Providences to the full accomplishment thereof The first of these belongs to this second Head the last of these takes up the third Head Onely for the clearing of this method I shall desire it may be noticed how evidently in the text these two sorts of workings by Christ are distinguished each from other and ranged there in the order I have proposed
