Treating principally of those grand and famous mutations yet expected in the world, as, the ruine of the Popish hierarchy, the final annihilation of the Turkish Empire, the conversion of the eastern and western Jews, and their restauration to their ancient inheritance in the Holy Land, and the Fifth Monarchie of the universall reign of the Gospel of Christ upon Earth. With principal passages upon every of these, out of that famous manuscript of Paul Grebner, extant in Trinity-Colledge Library in Cambridge. Composed upon the occasion of the young Kings arrival into Scotland, to shew what will in probability be the event of the present affairs in England and Scotland.

in that Temple which the power of God shall make Then shall lastly the four Beasts the Elders with all the Angels of Heaven and all the creatures of Heaven and Earth and of the Sea and under the Earth fall down before the Throne and give glory honour blessing and praise unto him that sitteth on the Throne and to the Lamb for ever and the four Beasts shall say Amen XII Evidences out of Scripture that the ten Tribes shall be brought out of Tartaria India and converted to the Gospel as well as our Western Iews I have heard many Jews discoursing of this their glorious Restauration and Religion to come They say they never possessed no not in the time of David and Solomon when their Kingdom was largest an half of that which God promised in Deuteronomy and Joshua Indeed it is said in Joshua No good thing failed of what God promised but this is to be understood of their peaceable settlement in what Joshua then conquer'd not of the utmost bounders of what they were to possesse towards the end of Time From Euphrates to the red Sea all the Coasts on the West to the great Mediterranean Sea with Tyrus and Sydon on the North Hemath and Celosyria even in length from Lebanon to Egypt was to be the confines of this sacred Commonwealth Now if we consider what a Moity of this was possessed by Lot Ammon Esau the Kings of Tyrus and Sidon the Philistines with Syria we may plainly see that more then an half was never their own of what God promised In confidence of possessing which and all the world beside in time to come in their great Hosanna they shake Palmes in their hands in triumph towards the four coasts of heaven to intimate that in their universall Empire every tree of the wood shall clap hands and sing for joy It is strange and makes me give more credit to Esdras then otherwise I would to see how pat he goes with our Saviour Christ in affirming the second Captivity of the Jews to be long and that their return should be about the ruine of the Roman Empire He relates how the ten Tribes soon after their Captivity by Salmanasser travelled through a great River or strait perhaps the Streits of Anian in a long journey of many moneths or years to a Country not inhabited Yea many good Authors who write of the Histories of America relate how the Maxicans have a Tradition delivered from father to son time out of minde of a great multitude coming a great journey into those parts with an Ark carried before them on mens shoulders with their God inclosed therein These people certainly were Jews from whom they learned Circumcision which our travellers finde in most of their Coasts with other Rites of Tribes Heads of Tribes and Families with some handsome Ceremonies of Marriages Funerals and Washings directly the same with the Jews or Israelites But to prove that the Israelites were first placed in Media and Carmania and from thence removed into India let us return a little back and survey Scriptures and some approved Authors When Salmanasser King of Assyria carried the ten Tribes into Captivity in the fifth year of the reign of Hezekiah King of Judah he was a Prince of spacious Dominions and invincible forces as comprizing within his Empire all Media and Persia Mesepotamia Assyria all Arabia and Ethiopia inferiour to the confines of Egypt all Syria and Palestine save only the poor exhausted Kingdom of Judah and lastly Armenia with all the Coasts bordering upon the Caspian and Euxine sea as farre as Tartaria By this it will be hard to define in which Province of his Empire he placed them out of his Dominions we may well think he would not abandon them In the 2 King 17. 6. it is said that he placed them in Hala and Habor by the River of Gozan and in the Cities of the Medes Which Hala or rather Chala and Habor by affinity of pronuntiation can be no other then Colchies and Iberia two Provinces of Armenia the first bordering upon the Euxine the latter upon the Caspian sea and the confines of the Tartars East of Armenia lies Media in the Cities of which a great part of the Israelites were likewise placed to inhabit North of Armenia is the entrance into those immense and indiscoverable Nations of Muscovites and Tartars the utmost limits of whose Kingdoms were never yet fully known The chief River of which Countries arising farre beyond the Hyperborian Territories after a wearisome travel through many Nations and Provinces disburthens it self at last into the Caspian sea at the very entrance into Armenia where it is called Zolga though our Mariners call it Wolga which is nothing else but a Metathesis or a bad pronunciation of the word Gozan So that that saying of Ben-Gorion is true if that Manuscript be his which Gallo-Belgicus fathers upon him yet visible in Bibliothecâ Florentinâ Salbumadzar saith he rex Assyrius exciso Samariae regno decem illas Tribus quae à divino cultu tandiu ante desciverant ad Idololatriam abductas in Captivitatem conlocavit in Fasso Alvati Loride Bascapante civitatibus Colchidos Iberiae Armenicarum provinciarum in Ecbatana Bocchu urbibus Mediae juxta Pontum Euxinum mare Caspium Thus by the testimony of this great Rabbi it is manifest that the Opinion of those men is fond who think the ten Tribes to be utterly lost thus likewise is it plain that the Jews Conversion must first arise out of the East and that Fassum Alvatis Loris and Bascapan Cities of Colchis and Iberia and Ecbatana and Bocchu Cities of Media were the places where Salmanasser called here Salbumadzar placed these Israelites in name but Pagans in nature And John Lunclay in this Pandects of the Turkish History fol. 769. writes how there are certain Hoords Troops or Families of people near the more Northern parts of Tartaria which retain the names of Dan Zebulun and Nepthali and in the vicinity of Rega there is a certain barbarous Nation of Letti which for three moneths in the year perpetually wander up and down the fields having these words Jure-shele-mashalom continually in their mouth as a kinde of lamentable tune or mournfull Ditty by which words Authours credibly suppose are meant Jerusalem and Damascus the two head cities of Judah and Israel He that diligenrly reades the history of these X. Tribes in Scripture after their revolt from the house of David and combination with Jeroboam in erecting Idolatry may see that they were a Nation quickly overgrown with Heathenism cruelty and barbarousnesse wholly become abominable Pagans in nature manners life condition and conversations as if they had had Numa Pomphilius to their Father and not Abraham the faithfull they only kept Circumcision and the names of their Progenitors in remembrance but had quite forgotten the Stories of their religion and piety thence it came to passe that in this their Captivity being
