A BRIEF COMPENDIUM of the vain Hopes of the Iews Messias The Ignorant Fables of their Rabbies AND The Confuting of the Jewish Religion Written by ELEAZAR BARGISHAI a born Jew for the upholding of Christianity LONDON Printed in the Year 1652. TO THE Religious and right Faithfull Christian Reader Gentle and Right Christian Reader AFter that I was brought up in the Jewish belief till I was Twenty four years of age and instructed therein walking after the footpathes of my forefathers not having any motive or illumination to belong unto such Honour as to be a Member of Christs body Yet know that through the mercy and merit of Christ my only Saviour and Redeemer after these times I received miraculously as it were in a moment another knowledge of the holy Trinity which God wrought in me a born unworthy superstitious Jew through the assistance of his holy Spirit and gave me a brighter light of understanding and brought me 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that is out of the darkness of Aegypt opening mine eyes curing me of my Leprosie and blind-born heart bringing me to the true Christian Faith of the true and only Sonne of God which the Prophets call Messias whom I with my illuminated eyes already since short time having received that light from the holy Scripture by the hand of Faith do acknowledge to be our Redeemer the promised Seed of the woman who hath bruised the Serpents head through whom all Nations shall be saved whoso rightly beleeve on him And many shall marvell to hear in what manner the Jews hoping for their Messias according to their Rabbies carnall expounding of the old Testament after their superstitious and unbeleeving hearts insomuch that it may seem more easie and possible to turn an hard iron or stone in an instant into water as soon as a Jews heart unto Christian Religion for and in respect of such their Rabbies fabuling Wherein gentle Reader you shall understand more largely and plainly the Occasion of this my Conversion who am a born Jew and who drunk their superstition from out my mothers brest and from my Childhood untill my Manly years have been instructed in their Synagogues and strengthened in their Talmuth books which are by them in use and have been much exercised especially in Jewish Questions out of those said Talmuths against forreign Rabbies and what such like they in their dreams expound and learn Therefore I departed from such fraternity and embraced the true Spouse of Christ the right Bridegroom with publike confession of her only saving Faith by the grace of Jesus Christ through the holy Baptism regenerate being cleansed and purified from the debt of Inheritance and the sins of unbelief in the precious bloud of the immaculate Lamb promised from the beginning Likewise to make a full and publike expression of my enjoying the right Christian Faith I arrived here in England not out of any doubt that I have therein being throughly confirmed in that Faith by the true knowledge and manifestation of the old and new Testament much rejoycing to have received the Christian Faith which heretofore few or no Jews have done whereof many Christians have much debate and questions therefore but my desire is that so long as Almighty God grants me life to serve him as a right true Christian ought to do Likewise Christian Reader you shall understand how the Jews dishonour the holy and pure birth of Christ in a cursed Book called 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that is to say The Story of the hanged which they privately print that the Christian Princes and Potentates should take no notice thereof But the everlasting Sonne of God and Prince of all Princes seeing the injury and vices done unto him punished them according to their deserts for they bringing such cursed books in Poland to the light and to be made publike many of that cursed and viperous Nation were killed exiled and destroyed after the saying of Moses Deut. 28.15 And it shall come to passe if thou wilt not hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God to observe to do all his Commandements and his Statutes which I command thee this day that all these curses shall come upon thee and overtake thee The Lord shall smite thee with madness and blindness and astonishment of heart And thou shalt grope at noon dayes as the blind gropeth in darkness and thou shalt not prosper in thy wayes and thou shalt be onely oppressed and spoiled evermore and no man shall save thee As more plainly in the same Chapter is prophesied Moreover I will plainly declare and make notorious unto all Christians as well to the learned as the unlearned that they may both see hear and understand how these poor Jews do expound the holy Scripture Prophets and Testaments in their Talmuds Fables Dreams Dialogues and such like foolery even as wicked carnall men or a lewd drunken woman who seeketh not after that which is pure or the truth but do visibly more and more bring the curse of God upon them as Esay witnesseth in his sixth Chapter and through Gods Ordinance prophesied to them saying Ye hear indeed but understand not and ye see indeed but perceive not make the hearts of these people fat and make their ears heavy and shut their eyes lest they see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and convert and be healed I am well assured that my Conversion and declaring of their unjust dealings and fooleries shall please them as well as a staff or the grass doth the dogg but they shall know that I do it for no other end but that truth may victorize against all such blasphemous people and Nations not that I will in any wise compare them unto their ancient Parents and right seed of Abraham for assuredly they were elect and the Children of God I hope that through this my writing Christ shall cure them of their blindness open their ears and soften their hard-hearted hearts with this my writing And I do not only speak unto them but also pray them that they will do so much as inquire and seek into the holy Scripture which they have altogether rejected and they will find it will appear if they seek they shall finde and if they knock it shall be opened unto them and verily they shall see and finde that my Instructions and Exhortations are most true but with this condition they must set aside their dreamings invented humane Talmuths together with the method of their Rabbies expounding then may they be brought out of the captive and dark Aegypt into the right way and bright shining light of Christ our right and undoubted Messias and belong unto the truth and be transfigured even as I have already been enlightned through the assistance of the holy Spirit thanks and praise be to God therefore Then shall they all perceive and understand and our joy shall be compleat for the time is now at hand but not as they hope
