three Angels as Lilith taught them The Chaldee Paraphrast spares not to spread this in Cantic 8. 3. bringing in the Israelitish Synagogue thus speaking I am chosen above all people because I binde Thephili●s to my head and my left hand and a paper is affixed to the right side of my door the third part of which looks towards my bed-chamber that Devils and evill spirits may have no power to hurt me Is not this a Magicall paraphrase of that Theologicall Text His left hand should be under my head and his right hand should imbrace me The same Targum on Cantic 4. 6. calls it artem justorum Patrum The art of the righteous Fathers and Patriarcks No marvell if the Jews love Magique when they make Abraham as well a father of Magicians and skilled in it as the father of the faithfull As for Salomon they will prove in his booke of Confessions that he confesses his use of Magique I gave my heart to know wisdome and madnesse and folly Eccles 1. 17. Their chiefe Senate the Sanhedrin among other excellent parts they say must be Artists in this unlawfull Art The originall of that conceit to spring from weaknesse in the Jewes imagination of this required skill in their Judges may be seen in Cunaeus Hitherto we have had witnesse sufficient of their sinnes and wickednesse and truly their miserie follows their sinnes hot foot Such things as these have made Kingdoms cast them out and throw them forth like poysons and sometimes murder them like beasts Such vertues as these have made it a much canvased question in politickes whether the Jews and Iewish Sanagogues are to be suffered in Christian Commonwealths and there are many reasons urged by some why they should not be endured There is a proverb used to this purpose Happy is that Commonwealth in which there is neither an Abraham a Nimrod nor a Naaman that is Which is neither troubled with a Iew nor a Tyrant nor a Leper The Iesuite resolves the case but such kinde of resolving dissolves the conscience A Prince say some may suffer Iews to exercise Vsury if it be expedient for the Commonwealth and compell the people to pay them and keep touch with them which opinion saith hee doth not displease me Mark what a cleanly and Iesuit-like reason he gives for saith he it is lawfull to permit or tolerate lesser evills to avoid greater as is apparent in whoredome O the Divinitie of Rome as Whores are suffered to prevent a greater evill so are Iews to be suffered There are some reasons why they should be suffered behaving themselves quietly and honestly not oppressing Christians not cursing them not seducing them not speaking evill of the Gospell without punishment not hindring Iews from turning Christians not marrying with Christians not having any Offices or places of honour and justice not refusing to be subject to Magistracy distinguished from Christians by dwelling place and otherwayes thus somewhere it is fit they should be suffered think the Civilians For what ever they be though a people that seem to be the Saltest Pillar of Gods wrath to all the world yet we may look on them as a Book of our Saviours Passion and when we see a bloodie Iew remember our bleeding Iesus They may be to us the Looking-glasse of Divine vengeance and better than a Crucifix They are to be pitied by men because there is a promise of mercy from God there must be a blessed revocation and an happy re-union of Jews and Gentiles We should not utterly cast off whom God has not utterly cast off Hath God cast away his people God forbid No hee hath a remnant according to the election of grace How lavish heaven and earth hath been of their blood I could at large relate and shew their blood streaming upon the earth all over the knowne world divers times After Christs Ascension especially their first fluxes of Blood were the fearfullest that ever was heard of Zonaras will tell us large numbers of slaine in Jewish warres to puzzle pretty Arithmeticians to cast up in figures But we have Lipsius exactly and shortly telling us the number in every place so many thousands slain in civill warrs in seven years so many in open war with Romans part of them famisht part drowned neck-broken self-murdered slaine with the sword in all twelve hundred thousand besides ninetie and seven thousand that were taken prisoners by the Romans As they bought Christ for thirty pence so thirty of them were sold so dogg cheape as one penny was the price of so many heads when they fell into the hands of the Romans Gods justice measuring out agreeable to their sin i● a Divine proportion that they might reade the vengeance in a proportionable punishment See but how many thousands were slain by Emperors Adrian and Trajan they banish● Jerusalem commanded not so much as to look back to it it was not lawfull for them N● quidem specula paternum solum cernere Let all the world take notice of what happened to them under the Emperour Iulian the Apostate This sonn of Perdition to make the words of Christ a lie concerning the Temple at Jerusalem that one stone should not bee left upon another did give the Jewes leave to goe and build up the Temple again They give notice of it to all their Countreymen all over the world they flock to Jerusalem from all parts every one is free to give much wealth to this Worke Iulian himselfe was liberall to them that he might do something to oppose Christ and vexe the Christians So earnest were they on this work that every one would doe something almost an infinite multitude of men digged and wrought all the day it so pleased them that they had made Spades Baskets Troughs Shovels and such like Instruments all of silver and made great provision of all materialls But see the event a terrible Earthquake rends the earth and tears up the very old low-laid Foundation of the Temple a grievous whirlwinde scatters all their Lime Chalk and materials Lightning flames from Heaven burnt up their Instruments yea many men perished others were much hurt by the Fire Christ fighting from heaven against these foolish Builders There were on the night time the figures of the Crosse formed in their garments which spying in the day-light as they knew not how they came there so by no no means knew they how to get them out for they washed and rubbed yet nothing would take out these Crosses At length the Lord following them with wrath and thus accursing their Work they gave over and many were forced to confesse that this was that God who was nailed to the Crosse by their forefathers After Iulian some of the Emperours drove away the Jews from Ierusalem would not let them so much as abide there or enter the Citie so that under Theodosius and Valentinian their custome

The blessed Jew of Marocco OR A Blackmoor made White Being a demonstration of the true Messias out of the Law and Prophets by Rabbi Samuel a Iew turned Christian written first in the Arabick after translated into Latin and now Englished To which are annexed a Diatriba of the Jews sins and their miserie all over the world Annotations to the Book with large digressions discovering Iewish blindnesse their refusing Christ and the many false Christs they have received with other things for profit in knowledge and understanding By Tho Calvert Minister of the Word at York And I will powre upon the house of David and upon the inhabitants of Ierusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced and they shall mourn for him as one mourneth for his onely son Zach. 12. 10. But their mindes were blinded for untill this day remaineth the same Vaile untaken away in the reading of the old Testament which Vaile is done away in Christ 2 Cor. 3. 14.

Printed at York by T. Broad and are to be sold by Nath Brookes at the Angel in Cornwell London 1648. To the intelligent and Christian READER NOne I suppose is such a stranger about the matters of Hierusalem but well understands that they in it are ●allen by the edge of the Sword and ●ed away captive into all Nations and ●hat Hierusalem is troden down of the Gentiles and must be untill the ●●me of the Gentiles be fulfilled It is ●he fired Beacon of Gods wrath by ●he light and fire whereof he gives warning and by the destruction whereof he gives instruction to all the people of the earth that they beware Jesus Christ the Son of God be not set up amongst them for a sign or mark of contradiction Heaven will set that Kingdom and people up for a signe of contradiction and curse that set up Christ his Gospel for a contradiction upon earth If God lay out all his mercy in his Son he will lay out abundance of wrath upon their backes that despise him that brings messages of Reconciliation and life from Heaven and good reason his blood should be upon their heads that refuse to beleeve and receive his blood-sprinkle upon their hearts If you beleeve not that I am he● you shall die in your sins and die they do most miserably and horribly defying and defyed of Christ These poo● Jews are the Professors of Butcheri● against Christ they 1. have killed the Lord Jesus and 2. their own Prophets 3. they persecuted the Apostles 4. they please not God and 5. are contrary to all men 6. they fill up their sinnes alway for 7. wrath is come upon them to the uttermost Now my desire is to shew the Jew before every eye that is tender Vt Theatrum vindictae Divinae as the Stage of Divine wrath and the subject of Christian pitie and prayers as the onely moving spectacle upon earth for a people and Nation that have beene Bajuli supremae irae almost 1600 years the scorn of Nations the cursed out-cast of all people that we may come in and lend our eyes and Hearts to the Apostles fearfull ecce the fearefullest ecce out of Hell for mankinde Behold the goodnesse and severitie of God on them which fell severitie but towards thee goodnesse c. the M●p of mercie to the Gentiles to us heathens made sweet out of their Map of bitternesse who swim in a Red Sea of Blood and in a Brackish Sea of wrath and vengeance If I may provoke Christians to be thankfull for what God has done for them and pitifull to the Jewes about the miserie that lies upon them I have attained my aim The writing has for Author a converted Jew whose eyes God opened to see and know that Just One whom his unjust and Hellish-hearted Countreymen stand out against with infidelitie and execrations whose case he deplores as the onely Hell out of Hell he confutes them deciphers their cursed condition out of the unanswerable Writings of the Law and Prop●ets and shews their evident damnation for rejecting the great salvation by Christ Other things about the Authour time of writing matter I 〈◊〉 discusse in the Preface and other preparatory peeces to the discourse to 〈…〉 annexed some large Ann●t●tio●s Discourses and Digressions for the better understanding of this great mysterie of Jewish misery In this I have imployed some time and labour and by it shall give account my vacant seasons cut off from the publike Ministerie are not altogether s●ent in idle and ignorant wastings but have laboured to acquaint my self and others with the magnalia dei and to make it appear that wee should have more studie and reading than meerly for filling some hours by Preaching I have alwayes liked that Speech of Cicero fit for his life that knew no better but Heathen letters Non possem vivere nisi in litteris viverem and that of Iulian Parabates the wretched Apostate though in this he spoke well that though he were an Emperour hee did not so affect to keepe his Fingers neat and cleane but that they commonly wore a black garment dyed with Inke and often writing Thus every man is dragged and drawn after some pleasure to this or that to spend his time either as an Athenian Townsman in exchanging reports of novelties or as an Athenian Scholler to write and read of things that tend to the Common-wealth of Knowledge and Learing But we of the Ministery have a Steward to dispose of our spare time better than any of these even the Apostle Paul who advises nay commands not to one but to all Timothies as well Give attendance to reading of Divine things to exhortation to doctrine I know many are of the minde of Birds they love Figs but they care not for taking pains about planting them looking to the trees and gathering the fruits like Landlords they would have their Tenants bring them and then they will eat them though it may be they will finde fault then also because they are not brought in an hansome Basket For these I leave them to their owne ease and curiositie and never look for other but conceited idlenesse being on the Bench diligence in any kinde shall be condemned because they walke not their facile and common way to carry the most they have in the tongue and to hang a faire Sign of appearance at the door what ever be in the house I need not begg of such in this and the like to be contemned I crave of the learned and ingenuous a favorable

Esay 11. 3. That is he shall judge by smelling who is innocent and who is guiltie Let us see therefore whether thou beest able to judge by smelling and when they saw his smelling was without this judgement they slew him This will scarce agree with so great a slaughter of Barcozbi and all his people by Adrians Forces But certain it is many Jews were now sacrificed to the Romans furie by their sword that the Lord might thorowly execute his wrath upon them This false Christ they say his reign and rule was some thirty years and a half and some make it foretold in those words of Daniel paraphrasing them thus Now when they shall fall that is the Israelites in the destruction of the Temple under Titus they shall be holpen with a little help in the Kingdom of Bitter which remained to the 52 year after the destruction of the Temple and many Israelites shall joyne with them in Bitter but with flatteries c. Of this Barcozbi all our writers make mention that speak of those times and say he tormented Christians whiles he had power with all kinde of punishments and put many to death if they would not deny and blaspheme Christ He is called by Eusebius Barchochebas 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 He is called by Hierome in his Catalogue of Church Doctors that were Writers of Books in the life of one Agrippa surnamed Castor Chocibus and in that Book made Greek by Sophronius 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 others call him Cuziba but under all these names is meant this sonn of a lie Barcozbi who named himself the son of a starre if he were it was like the bitter Starr Absynthites or Wormwood that in the Citie Bitter brought such sore destruction upon his Countreymen And yet Rabbi Lipman the most blasphemous of all Jewish Doctors was not ashamed to write that this Bencozbi was one of the lawfull and right Princes of Israel and of the familie of David and his reason is because when he said I am the Messias the Rabbins never asked him Art thou of the Family of David He judges they took it for granted that he was so But this may well beseem the lying lip of Lipman who hath writ a Book called Nitzachon or his book of victory and triumph over the Gospell of Christ in which the blasphemous Spider will needs finde lies falshoods and vain things and poysonous untruths to make Christ and our Religion ridiculous Some learned Christians have answered blasphemous Hebrew aud his Nitzachon as Munster in his Annotations to the Hebrew Gospell of Matthew Postellus follows Munster and we shall shortly see with us the learned Constantine L'Emperour fully confuting this Nitzachon so as to make such blaspheming Jewes leave all their cursed croaking and coaxation and make them as mute as the Seriphian Froggs and give no croaking sounds at all Of Rabbi Akiba they write that his Companions some nine were taken with him when Gozbi perisht and they were put to cruell deaths for Akiba if we durst beleeve them was put to death by an Iron Comb with which his flesh was torn off his body And thus farr we have gone to shew the Tragedy of Bencochab and Jewish dotage In the Reign of Theodosius the second came Moses of Crete to act his part of a false Saviour giving out he was sent from Heaven and was a second Moses he would lead al the Jews that followed him thorow the sea to the Continent dry-shod For a year together he perswaded them in their Cities and Townes to leave all their riches and follow him he would carry them to the promised Land At an appointed day to passe the Sea great multitudes of men women and Children repaire to him whom he brings to an high Promontory hanging over the Sea he bidds them cast themselves down which multitudes did and perisht being dasht in pieces on the Rock or drowned in the Sea Many were saved that were about to cast themselves down by some Christian Merchants and Fishers that disswaded them from so madd and murderous an Act and who helpt to draw many out of the Sea and saved them from drowning The Jews seeing the great Delusion thought to lay hands upon the Impostor but their false Moses as if he had been a true Devill was gone and vanisht they knew not whether nor how This was an occasion to bring many Jews to embrace the Christian faith and to leave the way of Judaism subject to such dangerous and costly deceits Of another false Prophet Moses Mamonides makes mention who arose in the Southern parts and told the people he was the fore-runner of the Messias and that in those parts he should shortly appear and he invited them Come ye with me and let us goe meet the Messias for he hath sent me unto you that I may prepare the way before him After a year he was taken they that did cleave to him fled away and an Arabian King that took him asking him why he did this and he answering I did it by command from God he further demanded What Miracle or wondrous thing canst thou do to confirme this He replyed My Lord the King cut off my head and after that I will rise again and live as I did before The King said Thou canst not do a greater thing then this bring but this to passe and then I and all the world shall beleeve thy sayings are true and good and that our Ancestors have inherited vanity and lies which profited them not His head by the Kings appointment was cut off but he never yet was as good as his word to appear alive again though some Jews are so devoid of judgement as to expect his reviving and look for his appearing There was Rex Thaborius one called the King of Thabor that would needs be a Messias whom Charles the fift caused to be burnt Maimonides reckons up four more obscure false Christs that did arise among the Jews in Spain and France and brought misery upon themselves aud the Jews Among these Impostors was David El-David or David Elroi in the Citie Omadia subject to the King of Persia he had some Power by Praestigiation and Magique whereby he did work great Signes and marvellous things and gathered people to make warre with all Nations Some said this great power of his was from the speciall vertue of God in him and as he called himself so they counted him the Messias as he said to the King of Persia I am the Messias and God hath sent me to deliver the Children of Israel The King cast him in Prison and said If thou canst deliver thy self I shall know thereby whether thou be the Christ or no if thou dost not deliver thy self I will put thee to death because thou art a fool But the Jugler got from Bonds and though the King sent Horsmen and
