led Captive but shall come hereafter to the Top of Felicity in the same manner as Ioseph did That Messiah of Ioseph shall die in the Battail of Gog and Magog and afterward shall rise again that he may enjoy the Dignity not of a Kingly Scepter but the office only of a Vice Roy as Ioseph in Egypt For that the Empire of the House of Israel fell under the Reign of Hosea the Son of Elah as the Prophet Amos saith in Chap. 5. 2. Therefore the Kingdom of the Ten Tribes shall be restored as Ezekiel saith Chap. 37. Under the Reign of Messiah the Son of David who shall be everlasting for by the death of Messiah the Son of Ioseph the Ten Tribes shall see that God will not that they should have more Kings then one as it is already said Thus much out of that Book called The Hope of Israel Now brethren you see by their words that your Rabbins and Wise men say that when you are restored to your own Land again Messiah the Son of David that is Jesus Christ shall be your King for ever who will have his Vice Roy King Charles Steewrad to be over you as Pharoah had Ioseph over Egipt and mark as Ioseph was a stranger and not an Egiptian yet Governed them all so must you have â—a stranger even King Charles Steeward as his name signifieth a Vice Roy for a Kings Steeward is a Vice Roy to give you order in all things and not as Manasseth-Ben-Israel say in his Observation upon your Rabbins and wise mens words who would have us beleive that your Messiah which your Rabbins and wisemen call the Son of Ioseph and of Ephraim must needs be a Natural Jew descended from the Loins of Ioseph and Ephraim and the Reason he gives for it is because that their first King Ieroboam was of that Tribe but Ben-Israel is mistaken for they not knowing how to call him otherwaies improperly call him the Son of Ioseph and of Ephraim as Eli calls Samuel his Son 1 Sam. 3. 6. and the Benjamite his Son 1. Sam. 4. 12. 16. and King Hezekiah calls the Levites his sons 2. Cron. 29. 11. after such a manner neither can he prove that Ieroboam came out of the Tribe of Ephraim only he supposeth because King Solomon made him Ruler over the house of Joseph 1 King 11. 28. that argueth no such thing but rather that he was of the Tribe of Iudah for Kings use to prefer their own kin and put them into places of trust as you see King Saul makes Abner General of all his Army because he was a man of Valour and his Uncles Son 1 Sam. 14. 50. and King David made Joab Captain General of his Army because he was a man of Valour and his Sisters Son 2 Sam. 8. 16. 1 Chr. 2. 15. 16. and I beleive that Solomon made Ieroboam Ruler over the House of Ioseph because he was his Kinsman of the Tribe of Iuda and for Zereda where his Father dwelt that is hard to be found If it was Zeredatha in the Plain of Iordan on the other side Iordan neer Succoth 2 Chron. 4. 17. For Succoth and all those Countries was the Tribe of Gads Inheritance Ioshua 13. 27. Then was Ieroboam of the Tribe of Gad But if Zereda was the City of Zareathits 1 Chron. 2. 50. 53. Then was he of the Tribe of Iuda and his Father is called an Ephrathite as Iesse and others are called Ephrathites Ruth 1. 2. 1 Sam. 17. 12. More of this in my book following And the four Dignities or four Captains signified by four Chariots Zech. 6. 1. Which your Wisemen call Messiah the Son of David Messiah the Son of Ioseph the Prophet Elias and the High Priest The first is Jesus Christ your King giving order to King Charles Steeward in what he shall do The second is our King Charles Stuart executing his office in doing what his Master Jesus Christ commanded him to do The third is a Prophet his works will make him known The fourth is an Arch-Bishop of Canterbury which shall be setled here when our King Charles comes to his Throne who shall fend to you to shew you our Christian Religion to convert you and settle it among you that you may live happily as once we did and yet shall do but now we are in Captivity as well as you and I am sure we shall be delivered in a short time both Jew and Gentile And King Charles Steeward t is Gods chosen Vessel to deliver us all and when you obey your King Jesus Christ then shall you have this preheminencie above all the Nations in the World you will have a King that is King of all the Kings and Emperours in the World as all Christian Kings confess now and all others must do it And he that Ruleth you as his Vice Roy shall be higher then any of them and shall be over them also as Ioseph was over all the Nobles in Egypt they being the Subjects of Jesus Christ And to conclude we have had sixteen hundred years ago great and glorious Noble Persons of your Nation that came from Ierusalem and tendred Jesus Christ unto us and we were soon converted and received him to the great comfort of our Souls and Bodies and do obtain Eternal Life by him Oh! do you now receive him from us who now tenders Jesus Christ unto you for your Salvation that you also may be made happy and obtain Eternal Life by him and enjoy your own Land again for certainly there is no other means to save you or us but he Alas beloved all other means without him are vain for he only is appointed of God to save the World Prayers Sacrifices Kings Princes and whatsoever else that is or can be named will do no good to them that have not Jesus Christ to appease Gods wrath against them for the Sin of Adam and their own Sins Oh then you are his Bone and his Flesh he is your glorious King a Native Iew born in Bethelem-Iuda who ever liveth to make intercessions to God for you as your good Kings and Rulers used to do Numb. 14. 13 19 20. Ioshua 7. 2 Chron. 30. 18. 19 20. Do not refuse Jesus Christ and your own Salvation which you cannot have without him I wish you as well as to my own Soul and so Farewel Your Friend Arise Evans TO Manasseth Ben-Israel Arise Evans Wisheth Grace and Truth Through God our Saviour Amen Worthy Sir I Am sorry that our difference of Language is such that you and I cannot converse toether I having a matter of so great concernment to impart unto you but I trust that by the help of the Ingenuity of the worthy Interpreter it will faithfully be communicated unto you it being answerable to your expectation manifest in the 26 Sect. of your Book called The Hope of Israel 1. I say King Charles Steeward Son to the late King Charles of England is he whom you call your Messiah
