THE MESSIAH ALREADY COME OR PROFES OF CHRISTIANITIE BOTH OVT 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 heauy yoake of this their long and intollerable captivitie which yet one day shall have an end as all other states and conditions in the World they have their periods even when the fulnesse of the Gentiles is come in and when that vayle shall be taken away from their hearts as is prophecied Brethren my hearts desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they might be saved Rom. 10.1 For I would not Brethren that ye should be ignorant of this secret that partly obstinacie is come to Israel untill the fulnesse of the Gentiles be come in and so all Israel shall be saved as it is written c. Rom. 11.25 And Ierusalem shall be troden under foot of the Gentiles untill the time of the Gentiles be fulfilled Luk. 21.24 Even to this day when Moses is read the vayle is laid over their hearts neverthelesse when their heart shall be turned to the Lord the vayle shall be taken away 2 Cor. 3 15. Verely I say unto you ye shall not see me untill the time come that ye shall say Blessed is he that commeth in the name of the Lord. Luk. 13.35 How beautifull are the feete of them which bring glad tidings of peace and bring glad tidings of good things Rom. 10.15 AMSTERDAM Imprinted by Giles Thorp Anno M. DC XIX TO THE HIGH AND MIGHTY PRINCE FREDERICK KING OF BOHEMIA c. And TO HIS ROYALL SONNE the most hopefull yong Prince FREDERICK HENRY Most High and mightie Prince THis Treatise was published seven yeares agoe and Printed in the Low-Countries not long after the death of that noble Prince Henry my master And for that and some other reasons Dedicated to those high and honourable personages as by the Epistle following may appeare The same reasons have moued me to revise it and publish it a new vnder the Protection also of your Maiestie and Royall Issue that most hopefull yong Prince cujus e●go etiam nomine ipso recreor in whom the name of Prince Henry is now revived again to Gods Glory So likewise the name of Queene Elizabeth by your Majesties most happy inauguration King of Bohemia which two names are yet pretious and ever will be in the hearts of the English Nation and other Nations likewise The other reason for that the Iewes also whom this argument chiefly concerneth many of them remaine in your Maiesties Dominions whereof in time your Maiestie or Royall Issue as may be hoped raised vp of God for that very purpose may be a happy instrument as of the finall desolation of that Mysterie of Iniquitie Babylon so consequently of the finishing of that Mysterie of Godlinesse even the conversion of the Iewish Nation the very period of all Prophecies And then as Iohn concludeth his Revelation come Lord Iesu. He which testifieth these things saith surely I come quickly Amen Even so come Lord Iesu. Amen Amen Your Maties most humble devoted seruant IOHN HARRISON TO THE HIGH AND Mighty Lords the States Generall of the vnited Prouinces of the Low-Countries Also TO THE HIGH AND Mighty Prince Maurice Prince of Orange c. And To his noble Brother Prince Henrie All happinesse FOR two reasons I haue made bold to present unto your high and honourable considerations this Treatise following The one more particular in respect of that intyre amitie and correspondence which was betwixt my deare Master deceased Prince Henrie of famous memorie and your Exce●lencie and whole State whom he much honoured and thereof gaue sundry testimonies both publique and private whereof my selfe hauing the honour to be one of his Seruants neere unto him and by reason of my attendance much in his presence was oftentimes an eare-witnesse And that your princely Brother alter idem an other Henry cujus ego nomine ipso recreor even for my Masters sake that gone is and for that affection he sh●wed towards his Highnesse both in Life and Death who was much conversant with him before his sickn●sse and in his sicknesse came diu●rs times to visite his Highnesse and to condole with us in our heavinesse can also I make no doubt witnesse sufficiently whose hearts or rather but one heart and soule as it is in that place seemed to be knit together like the soule of David and Ionathan by a mu●uall symp●thie as in name so in nature and correspondence of disposition which had not untimely death prevented some further covenant like that of David and Ionathan might perhaps in time haue beene concluded wor●●●e such heroicall spirits An other reason is for that the persons whom this Argument chiefly concerneth to wit the Iewes many of them remaine in your Countrie and haue their habitation in peace and safetie not in that slaverie as in other Nations accounted of in the basest maner that may be in the number of dogs rather then of Men. Which though it haue fal●en upon them by the just judgement of God yea and by their owne judgement upon themselues so much the more just his blood be upon us and upon our children yet are they children of the Promise and beloved for the fathers sake as Paul pleadeth for them in divers places alledging both their prerogatives and priviledges aboue the Gentiles What is then the preferment of the Iew saith he much euery maner of way For to them apperteineth the adoption and the glorie and the covenants and the giving of the Law and the service of God and the Promises of whom are the Fathers and of whom concerning the flesh Christ came c. And in that respect we Gentiles ought not so proudly and tyrannously to insult over them as many doe especially Christians of all others should not adde affliction to affliction but rather pitie and bewaile their induration as Paul doth in the place before cited expecting with patience their conversion in due time as the Lord hath promised for if God himselfe loue them being his enemies for they are beloved as I said before for the Fathers sake as he loved us before our conversion when we were his enemies he loved us so the Apostle testifieth why should we Christians hate and abhorre them who are so highly in Gods account even the beloved of the Lord and hold them in such disgrace and contempt as we doe as in my sma●l observation and experience I am able to testifie both by that I have seene and heard which rather exasperateth them against our profession then otherwise Which harshnesse and uncharitablenesse of ours together with the Idolatrie and superstition of the Church of Rome

behold him whom they haue pierced and smite their brests prick●d in their hearts like those Iewes in the Acts and crye out Men and bretheren what shall we doe and returne to the Lord and be baptised everie one in the name of Iesus Christ for the remission of sinnes which God grant And the Lord powre upon them the spirit of grace and of compassion that in soul spirit they may look upon him whom they haue pierced and lament for him as it is in the prophet everie tribe and familie apart His Resurrection FOr his Resurrection it was also foretold by the prophets and prefigured in Ionas David sayth in the person of the Messiah of whom he prophecied in divers places and was a type I haue set the Lord alwaies before me c. Wherefore myne heart is gladde and my tongue rejoyceth my flesh also doth rest in hope for thou wilt not leaue my soule in the graue nor suffer thyne Holy one to see corruption Also Hosea sayth After two dayes will he rev●ke us and in the third day he will rayse us up Vs in the plurall number poynting as it should seeme both at the Resurrection of our Saviour the third day as also the raysing of a number of the Saincts together with him at the same tyme prefigured in Ionas together vvith the tyme of his abode in the sepulchre foreshevved many tymes by our Saviour himself to his disciples such and such things shall be donne to the sonne of man He shall be apprehended evill intreated mocked scourged put to death but the third day he shall rise againe Also to the Ievves demanding a signe he ansvvered Destroy this temple and in three dayes I will rayse it up againe And at another tyme An evill and adulterous generation se●keth a signe but no signe shall be giuen them saue the signe of the prophet Ionas for as Ionas was three dayes and three nights in the whales b●ll●e so shall the Sonne of man be three dayes and three nights in the heart of the earth Which prophecie of his they full vvell remembring and fearing the event immediatly upon his burial they vvent to Pila● saying Sir we remember that deceiver sayd while he was living within three dayes I will rise againe commaund therefore the sepulchre to be made sure till the third day least his disciples steale him away by night say unto the people he is risen from the dead so the last error be worse then the first All which was done according to their desire a strong watch appointed the Sepulchre sealed up all things made so sure by the Iewes as might be for they had gotten from Pilate a speciall commission for that purpose to whom he was as forward to grant it as they to aske it and that in as large and ample maner as themselues knewe or could devise All which notwithstanding after a most miraculous maner The angel of the Lord discending from heauen with an earthquake and rolling back the stone from the doore of the sepulchre the keepers astonied and become as dead men Iesus our Saviour according to the former prophecies is risen againe and hath appeared to his Apostles and disciples his faithfull witnesses a number of them at divers severall times to whom he presented himself aliue as S. Luke writeth by manie infallible tokens being seene of them by the space of fortie dayes and speaking of those things which apperteyne to the kingdome of God how soever the Iewes suborned the soldiours giving them largely to say his disciples came by night and stole him away while they slept which saying is noysed among the Iewes to this day How probably the former circumstances considered let the world judge Therefore I will conclude this point also with that of Paul touching the Resurrection of our Lord and Saviour He hath declared himself mightily to be the sonne of God by the Resurrection from the dead and consequently that Messiah promised before by the Prophets in the holy Scriptures as the same Apostle urgeth His Ascention FOr his Ascention it was also foretold by the Prophets and necessarily followeth upon his Resurrection to be believed to wit that having finished the worke of our Redemption here on earth he ascended up into heauen and there sitteth at the right hand of God David sayth Thou art gone up on high thou hast ledde captivitie captiue and received gifts for men c. And in another place The Lord said to my Lord sitte thou at my right hand c. which is the place alledged by our Saviour wherewith he put the Iewes to silence both as touching the Dietie and the humanitie of the Messiah for sayth he if David call him Lord how is he then his sonne where we may see David acknowledgeth him his Lord and consequently his God euen the sonne of God sitting at the right hand of God for the present as touching his divinitie afterwards to be accomplished also in his humanitie which David believed as verely should come to passe and forsawe by the eye of fayth as did Thomas when it was come to passe putting his hand into his side and crying My Lord my God so sayth David here my Lord The Lord sayd unto my Lord c. I say this article of our fayth as touching his Ascention it followeth necessarily to be concluded upon his Resurrection it needeth no other proof For that whosoever seeth and acknowledgeth that Iesus being dead could raise himself to life againe will easily belieue also that he was able to ascend up to heauen at his pleasure And hereof we haue also all his Apostles and Disciples for witnesses eye-witnesses in whose presence and sight he ascended as it is in that place they looked stedfastly towards heauen as he went And in witnesse thereof gaue up their liues and sealed the same with their blood Therefore I conclude vpon all these premises so necessarily following and depending one apon an other to witt his birth life doctrin actions death resurrection and ascention seing nothing hath happened in the same which was not foretold by the Prophets of God nor any thing foretold by the same Prophets concerning the Messiah which was not fulfilled most exactly in the person of our Saviour We may most certainly assure our selves that as God is truth and therefore can neither foretell an vntruth nor yeeld testimonie to the same so it can not be but that these things which have beene shewed to be so manifestly foreprophecied and so evidently accomplished in the person of this our blessed Lord and Saviour must needs I say assure vs Christians that he was indeed the true Messiah quite confound the Iewes in theire vaine imagination and expectation of another The sending of the Holy Ghost with the first plantation wonderfull increase of the Church NOw for those things that followed after his ascention as argumēts effects of

heare the mourning of the prisoner and deliver the children appointed unto death that they may decl●re the name of the Lord in Sion and his praise in Ierusal●m For God will saue Sion and bui●d the cities of Iuda that men may dwell there and haue it in poss●ssion the seed as of his servants shall i●●erit it and they tha●●●ue his name sh●ll ●w●l● ther●in Surely the Lord wil● not sayle his p●ople neyther will he fo●sake his inheritance He hath alway remembred his covenant and promise that he made to a thou●and generations Thou wilt thinke upon thy congregation which thou hast possessed of old on the rodde of thine inheritance which thou hast redeemed and on mount Sion wherein thou hast dwelt Yea when the Lord turneth againe the captivitie of hi● people which will be when they turne unto him by hartie repentance not before when they cryed to the Lord in their trouble he delivered them out of their distresse then will he make euen their verie enimies to become their friends giue them grace favour in the sight of all those kings and princes under whom now they liue and groane in most miserable slaverie and bondage as in their former captivities may be observed He sawe when th●y were in affliction and heard their crye He remēbred his covenant towards them and repented according to the multitude of his mercies and gaue them favour in the sight of all them that led them captiues for the hearts of Kings are in the hands of the Lord as the rivers of waters he turneth them which way soever it pleas●th him So the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus King of Persia after that their seauentie yeeres captivitie in Babylon as also Darius and others to write in their behalf sundrie most favourable edicts for their returne into their owne countrie again with large liberalitie for the rea●difying of the temple of God in Ierusalem for the Lord had made them glad and turned the heart of the King of Asshur unto them to incourage them in the work of the house of God euen the God of Israel Therefore Ezra blesseth the Lord ●or all these extraordinarie favours saying Blessed be the Lord God of our Fathers which so hath put in the Kings heart to beautifie the house of the Lord that is in Ierusalem c. Yea rather then fayle of his promised deliverance to his people when they crye unto him in their distresse he will rebuke euen kings for their sakes As he did Pharaoh king of Aegypt in the dayes of old with this peremptorie commaund by the hand of Moses over and over Let my people goe that they may serue me or if thou wilt not c. inflicting upon them one plague after another till at length they were forced to driue them away as it is in that place Rise up get you out from among my people and goe serue the Lord as ye haue sayd And the Egyptia●s did force the people because they would send them out of the Land in hast for they sayd we dye all giving them favour in the meane tyme in the sight of the Egyptians also Moses was verie great in the Land of Egypt in the si●●t ●f Pharoahs servants and in the sight of the people Behold I haue made thee Ph●raohs God sayth the Lord so he brought out Israel from among them for his mercie endureth for evrr with a mightie hand and out stretched arme c. after four hundreth and thirtie yeeres captivitie in Aegypt And when the four hundreth and thirtie yeeres were expyred euen the self same day departed all the hosts of the Lord out of the Land of Aegypt And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud to lead them the way and by night in a pillar of fire to giue them light He divided the sea in two parts made Israel to passe through the mids of it and overthrewe Pharaoh and his host in the red sea for his mercie indureth for ever So leading them through the wildernes feeding them fortie yeeres with Manna frō heauen till at length he brought them safe sound as it were upon egles wings maugre all difficulties and oppositions of enimies what soever euen to the promised Land of Canaan the lot of their inheritance Where they continued in peace and prosperitie so long as they served him kept his commandements but when once they sinned against him or rather as often as they sinned for it was not once but often forgat the Lord their God which brought them out of the Land of Aegypt out of the house of bondage then he suffered their enemies to prevayle against them tyrannize over them sometymes one and sometimes another till at length they were caried captiues to Babylon Yet ever as the burdē of that psalm is whē they cryed to the Lord in their trouble he delivered them out of their distresse raysing up from tyme to tyme Iudges as he did Moses and Ioshua at the first which delivered them out of the hands of their oppressors Othoni●l who delivered thē out of the hands of the King of Arā as it is in that place where it is said that the children of Israel did wickedly in the sight of the Lord forgat the Lord their God served Baalim therfore the wrath of the Lord was kindled against Israel he sold thē into the hand o● Chushan-rishathaim king of Aram whō they served eight yeeres But when they cryed unto the Lord the Lord stirred them up a Saviour euen Othoniel c.
