Newly extant, and printed in Amsterdam, and dedicated by the author to the High Court, the Parliament of England, and to the Councell of State. Translated into English, and published by authority. In this treatise is shewed the place wherein the ten tribes at this present are, proved partly by the strange relation of one Anthony Montezinus, a Jew, of what befell him as he travelled over the Mountaines Cordillære, with divers other particulars about the restoration of the Jewes, and the time when.; Miḳṿeh Yiśraʼel.

their place perhaps to suffer new miseries and calamities Beside we do not read that Cyrus gave leave to any to return but onely to the two Tribes of Juda and Benjamin And also it is probable as some Authors affirm that they could not go up from thence because they had continually wars with the neighbour people SECT XXIII HItherto we have ihewed that the ten Tribes are in divers places as in the West-Indies in Sina in the confines of Tartary beyond the river Sabbathion and Euphrates in Media in the kingdom of the Habyssins of all which the Prophet Isaiah is to be understood in Isa 11.11 It shall come to passe in that day that the Lord shall set his hand the second time to recover the remnant of his people which shall be left from Assyria from Egypt from Pathros from Ethiopia from Elam from Sinear from Hamath and from the Islands of the Sea From whence you may gather that it is meant of those places where the ten Tribes dwell Syria and Egypt shall be the two places of their generall meeting as more fully hereafter Pathros is not Pelusium nor Petra but Parthia neer to the Caspian Sea where I think with many others the Sabbaticall river is Although there is a Pathros in Egypt as the learned Samuel Bochardus saith in his holy Geography Chus according to common opinion is Ethiopia as is proved out of Ier. 13.23 and in this place of Ieremy are meant the Israelites who live in the Countrey of the Abyssins Elam is a Province in Persia as it appears in Dan. 8.2 where are desert places in which perhaps the remnant of the ten Tribes is Shinar is a Province about Babylon as in Gen. 10.10 where Babel is said to be in Shinar and Dan. 1.2 it is said that Nebuchadnezzar carried the holy vessels to the land of Shinar Hamath there are many Hamaths mentioned in the Scripture many understand it of Antioch but because Geographers reckon up 12. places named Antioch therefore we can affirm nothing for certain but I think that that is meant which is placed in Scythia The seventy Interpreters by Hamath understand the Sun from Hamath the Sun and they translate it From the rising of the Sun and I think it is no ill translation for hereby all the Israelites who are in greater Asia India and Sina may be understood The Islands of the Sea so almost all translate it but I think it is to be rendred The Islands of the West for I am in holy Scripture signifies The West as in Gen. 28.14 and in many other places and upon this account those Israelites are implyed who are Westward from the Holy Land among whom the Americans are SECT XXIIII THe Prophet adds in Isa 11.12 And he shall set up a sign for the Nations and he shall assemble the out-casts-of Israel and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the foure quarters of the earth Where he notes two things 1. that he cals the Israelites out-casts but the Jews scattered and the reason is because the ten Tribes are not onely far off from the Holy Land but also they live in the extremities and ends of Countreys from whence the Prophet cals them cast out But he doth not say that the Israelites are to be gathered from the foure quarters of the earth because they are not so dispersed through the world as the Tribe of Judah is which now hath synagogues not onely in three parts of the world but also in America The Prophet adds in v. 13. The envy also of Ephraim shall depart and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off For then there shall be no contention between Judah and the 10. Tribes which are comprehended under the name Ephraim because their first King Jeroboam was of that Tribe And then as it is in Ezek. 37.22 One King shall be King over them all and they shall be no more two Nations neither shall they be divided any more into two kingdoms There shall be one King to them both of the family of David Also the Lord at the redemption will drie up Nilus and Euphrates and will divide it into seven streames answerable to his drying up the red Sea when they came out of Egypt perhaps that the seven Tribes which are in those parts may go over it as they passe into their Countrey as Isaiah saith in ch 27.12 13. And it shall be in that day and he shall shake off from the bank of the river some understand Euphrates unto the river of Egypt Nilus and ye O children of Israel shall be gothered one by one Which was never done in the captivity of Babylon The Prophet Isaiah saith in chap. 11.11 that he will return them the second time c. Now the redemption from Babylon cannot be called such an one because all of them were not brought back to their Countey But the redemption shall be universal to all the tribes as it was when they went out of Egypt which redemption shall be like the first in many things as I shew in the third part of my Reconciler and so it may be called the second in reference to that first from Aegypt Whence Ieremiah saith Chap. 23.7 8. That then it shall not be said He that brought Israel out of Egypt but from the North and from all countreys whither he had driven them That they shall not mention their departure from Aegypt for the cause fore-mentioned SECT XXV THe same Prophet sc Isa 43.5 6. saith I will bring thy seed from the East and will gather thee from the West I will say to the North Give up and to the South Keep not back bring my sons from far and my daughters from the ends of the earth For Media Persia and China lye on the East Tartary and Scythia on the North the kingdom of the Abyssins on the South Europe on the West from the Holy Land But when he saith Bring ye my sons from far he understands America so that in those verses he understands all those places in which the Tribes are detained Also in Chap. 49. from ver 7. to the end of the Chapter he saith that that return shall be most happy And in ch 56. ver 8. God saith He that gathers the out-casts of Israel And the Prophet Ieremiah in ch 33. ver 16. In those days shall Iudah be saved and Ierusalem shall dwell safely It is certain and Ierom assents to all our Authors that when Iudah is joyned with Israel by Israel the ten Tribes are meant The same addes in ch 31. ver 15. in the comforting of Rahel who wept for the carrying away her sons Ioseph and Benjamin the first by Salmaneser into Assyria the last by Nebuchadnezzar into Babylon he saith in ver 16. Refrain thy voice from weeping and thine eyes from tears for thy work shall be rewarded And it follows in Cha. 33. ver 7. And I will cause the captivity of Iudah and the captivity of Israel to return and I
