zeale Rabbi Elias as I hope shall finde mercy My poore will shal be ready in your studies of the Law which from yongest yeares I have followed with great zeale care Rab. El. Now you have brought me vnto the worlds end And before you told how the Dragon head and tayle hath prophane Caesares and Popes and Daniels beastes compiled into one have an Empire once mightie but killed and revived by one comming from the earth and that beast revived differeth but in scarlat colour from the former and hath Woman Rome sitting vpon him cruell in blood sparing vs Iewes but killing them that be of your faith Br. Millions of Rome pay be of my religion by such as I know principall I iudge Of many speaches I will tell some The best learned Iesuites wished my poore skill in the Thalmudique of the new Testament saying that so they might soone turne the Indians and many spake and dealt in equall maner And now the Iesuites despising idler monches condemning the other Locustes begin to have some skill in Ebrew and Greeke which tongue and writers vtterly kill the Bridgemaker Rab. Elias Now to conclude this tell me the Chapt. 20. and the other two which you made an abridgement of Romes badnes The twentieth and the other of the Churches glorie Br. The Romane Dracon should be tyed for a thousand yeares before hee deceaved Generally as Albion of a thousand litle cared for him soone stonge the stonger But after a thousand yeres he shall deceave the West to fight for Ierusalem to weaken all Princes power and then shal be espied and decay in an other thousand Rabbi Elias Before sinne came to the full in the old world it was a thousand yeares before Noe was named a redresser And after the flood at neare a thousand yeares Chanaans sinnes were not ripe Nor Israels of a thousand yeares to be wasted by the Macedonians So the Rome Dragon of 1000. yeares could not deceave the whole world But then a new Gog and Magog troubleth all and since six hundred yeares But now Kingdomes of right be stronger and sophistrie is nothing against sword and speare Now Rome shall feele as it dealt and see that God sitteth on a white Throne in iustice for the latter iudgement Rab Elias Now to conclude Iohn tell me the heavenly Ierusalem whiche you spake off ending all comfort in this world Br. I will shew a brief as you may thereby from the holy Prophetes fetch the amplifications The Heavenly Ierusalem Chap. 21. Esay telleth of a new Heaven and a new Earth Know you what that meaneth Rabbi Elias Yes the dayes of Messias Br. And what this The wicked shal be as a sea foming out their owne shame Rabbi Eli. The wicked shal be so helden to be holden no part of the Church Br. And what meaneth this The cowards who shrink from Martyrdome and faithles and detestable and fornicatours and witches and idol-servers and all liers their portion shal be in the lake burning with fyer and brimstone Rab. Eli. That they shall not be of the Church of God in trueth that be of the open shew as the worlde knoweth But as God knoweth his owne seale so they will depart from wickednes that call vpō the name of the Eternall Now as Ezekiel chap. 40. saw a goodly Citie so Iohn saw what a goodly Citie all the elect together good make who though they be scattered yet are in Gods care as all together and a citie comming downe from heaven having the glorie of God and light as Iasper Carbuncle Chrystallizing having a great Wall of Gods defence twelve gates with the twelve Tribes names as by their storie men here come in and the wall had twelve foundations with the Apostles names vpō them but in matter they were the twelve stones of the Tribes And that in this order The Iasper of Bēiamin The Saphir of Isachar the Carbūcle of Iuda the Smaragd of Levi the Sardonyx of Zabulon the Sardius of Ruben The Chrysolita of Afer The Beryl of Ioseph the To par of Symeon The Chrysophrase of Nephthali The Iacynth of Dan The Amethyst of Gad So the foundations 〈◊〉 the Tribes stones that is their storie how Christ ruleth 〈◊〉 as the Apostles taught But Iohns vision obiected matter Doe you remember how this order of foundation is an abridgement of all the Ebrew story and such and God and no mans wit would so settle Rabbi Elias I remember it wish it handled in my nations tongue Br. It would be a long speach why Beniamins Iasper is fift Iosephs Beryl is cast off into the eight and why Isachars Saphir hath the second Symeons Topaz is cast off to the nienth and why Iudahs Carbuncle hath the place of Levi and Levi his and so for all the rest But you heard a reason of all Rabbi And verie sensible as we are acquainted with our emblemes Br. Now what meaneth this The Citie was square Equall in length breadth and height Rab. Eli. It followeth the Davir in Salomons Temple or the holy of holy Br. Now that Heaven is opened all myndes may see there the Arke and Cherubim all that be of this Citie The Citie was 144000. forlong Setting eight forlongs to an English mile It was almost a thousand miles square and what should this meane That an infinite company should be of Christians though Rome and Saracenes endevoured general destruction So the Walles were an hundred fortie foure cubites Know you what that must meane Rab. Defence is meant by Walles as in Es 54. And thence in the Septuagint Iaspis is for Carbuncle and so here Iohn Visions are from the old Testament and not from mans fanfie And Iaspis in v. 18. must respect Codcod in Esai Chalcedon or Carbuncle and in the first foundation Beniamins stone els a confusion wil be which God suffereth not but requireth his to be full of eyes and to know his word richly Now what meaneth this The twelve gates were twelve Pearles Rab. The doctrine of life cleare and precious Br. The Law had a covering But in Christ all glittereth And what meaneth this The streat of the Citie was like pure Gold cleare as glasse Rab. The Lawes and rules of life Br. Such be in our New Testament the purest rules that ever could be spoken and the wordes be so pure in the Greeke But knowen of few by reason that the Bridge-maker of Thymbris scattred Barbarous Latin for Golden Greeke over the West Men of conscience and iudgement should studie Ebrew and Greek for Divinitie not Latin versions of mans guesse But the wordes that God warranteth But my next demaund Babbi shall trie your Thalmudique skill Iohn saw no Temple in this Citie For the Lord God of hoastes is the Temple and the Lambe Why Rab I can not tell Br. Rambam in Bet●●abechira dreameth as ye all of a returne to Chanaan to build a third Temple That hope was senseles ever since Esai tolde you of a

the 70. had Iaspis which terme had caused great disturbance Iohn applyeth Iaspis to the Hebrew Iaspeh the stone of Beniamin and to Iahalom hee giveth Sardonix and Chrysophrase for Nephthaly in steed of common Achates a white Achat with a Golden list some Greenesse So precious is Iohns style And this much particularly Now generally the style is from the Prophetes shewing from old matters past how the like shall come againe which is the surest way of teaching And the lāguage wil be easie to you Iewes because you know the Prophets speach but is hard to Heathē because the 70. did not translate nor ever meant the Law plainlie because the wicked would hold it folly Now I will come to shew the counsell of the booke Rabbi And vpon what Prophecy doeth it depend Br. Vpon Es 25. where God promiseth to take away the covering that covered all Nations The Gospell sheweth how God was in Christ to take away the covering of the Law Now that Temple and Nation is destroyed and Iesus Christ him-selfe in this book calleth all Nations to him the terme of vncovering is a fit tytle for that Prophecy Rab. Elias This verie title might shew God to be the Author of the book Br. The drift of it is to comfort all holy Iewes as S. Peter did from Babylon that the heavenly Ierusalem is not a materiall Citie but made of mens heartes knowen to God and praying to him frō good vnderstanding and vsing open sage profession while God bridleth hinderance and vsing circumspection against bad Tyranny made stronge by Satan turned into an Angell of light It conteyneth beside Iohns preface in propre speech visions for the present institution of the world in cha 1 2 3. And afterward for ages following For the present age Iesus Christ appeareth as he did to Daniel chap. 10. when the Temple was hindred from building and applyeth that vision to seaven churches in most heavenly sweatnes and expoundeth all the Song of Songes by knocking at the dore that he is the Salomon who conforteth the daughters of Ierusalem The Prophecies following twise goe over the state to come vnto the end of the world The first endeth with the eleventh chapter the next with the nineteenth The twenty lappeth vp the mischief of Satan and the last two the glorie of the afflicted and obscure to the world by pear-like speaches for the Prophetes Ierusalem Of the Nations by name saluted in this booke The God of all knowledge vseth light in all his stories The house of rich Craesus sprange from a King most famous for riches who ruled from many Isles of the Midle Sea to Armenia Esai promised Cyrus all his wealth in Rich Craesus that fell out who being in amitie with Nabynetar as Herodote harped at his name he provoked Cyrus to warre and of Craesus became Irus So Persia ruled that Soile long Now when Ezekiel had comforted the Iewes that they should have a returne as a resurrection he warneth them that they should looke for no kingdome in this world but that the Lande of Gog or Gyg and Magog by Graecians should afflict them with Great helpes from many coūtreys as you know In the Kings of the North and South Dan. xj this fell out whereof Antiochia was neare Magog the Towne built by Antiochus the mischievous The other Townes here named were the old courtes of rich Gyges The Kings of the South Ptolemei Lagidae And the Kinges of the North Seleucidae both held as it were in equall portion these soiles and filled them with Iewes forced to learne Greeke So these being nearest to Ierusalem of Greeke countreyes and full of Iewes scattered to teach the old storie were fittest to bee taught first to save the rest of Greeke speach and all they knew Daniels Prophecie of his last kingdome boisterous in these quarters And the God of all knowledge began in wicked Antioch to make a godly church that Christians thence first bare the name and endeth his speech to men in the other end of the legges last dominions which they could holde The Lande of old God and Magog vnder Macedonians and fit to looke for a new Gog and Magog from further West Rab. Eli. I gladly heare this Now tell at large who be the oppressors Of the Oppressors in the Apocalyps Br. You know ô Rabbi how closely Daniel taught who the Nations should be who should take away the Iewes kingdome But in the end he nameth them yet so that hee wrote that part in Ebrew the tongue ended from the world in common vsage So here a longe while they are closely touched as vnder seales and from the last of them come seaven trumpets Seeing Iohn was banished into Patmos by Rome his comfortes in Plagues and vengeance should bee against Rome who is plagued with warre bloudy and pestilent and with losse of state for killing then after the fall of the Church ariseth by colour of scripture a king of Locustes or beast arising out of the earth by peace in the policie or Citie where Christ was crucified Next they are both as Pharaoh Es 27. set foorth by a Dragon with armes that will agree to none but Rome and this same Dragon hath two partes the vpper part in a policie alone the taile the prophet that speaketh lies Againe both be more clearelie set foorth in two severall partes The vpper part of the Dragon is compounded in a new one beast comming out of a sea cōpounded of the four in Daniel with a head like the Dragons and once made dead as the state vnder the seales was once overthrowen Then the taile of the Dragon is a beast alone comming out of the quiet earth bearing two hornes like a Lambes but the mouth of the former Dragon maketh the former beast aliue againe and suffereth none to vse policie but them that vse the markes of his Policie worship of Idoles now openly tolde And at the last all is made plaine The beast revived hath the hornes of the former and head but for crueltie all bloody in colour as Pope is the greatest murtherer that ever was in the worlde by warres all vniust and chalenge to kill all that will not fall downe and worship him Now vpon this red beast sitteth a woman drunke with the blood of the Sainctes and then all doubt is taken away The woman is the Citie which beareth rule over the Kings of the earth And this for the last affaires of the worlde Rabbi Elias I am sure the Nation is past deniall how so ever the particulars will fall out Now I beseech you tell me brieflie the whole summe of Iohns vision God is my iudge that I never heard Christian with so great delite and I thought so when you reasoned with mee in Francfurt Synagogue I never heard any Christian before you that could speal Ebrew readier then we Ebrewes and made good your doctrine by our Doctors and by Greekes that never saw Daniel As Abraham Ruben writeth so I think
