A02727	The Messiah already come. Or Profes [sic] of Christianitie both out of the Scriptures, and auncient rabbins, to convince the Iewes, of their palpable, and more then miserable blindnesse (if more may be) for their long, vaine, and endlesse expectation of their Messiah (as they dreame) yet for to come. Written in Barbarie, in the yeare 1610, and for that cause directed to the dispersed Iewes of that countrie, and in them to all others now groaning under the heavy yoake of this their long and intollerable captivitie, which yet one day shall have an end ...

promise_n to_o adam_n the_o first_o promise_n as_o touch_v the_o messiah_n be_v this_o make_v to_o adam_n after_o his_o fall_n for_o the_o restore_n of_o mankind_n to_o wit_n that_o the_o seed_n of_o
