A02727	The Messiah already come. Or Profes [sic] of Christianitie both out 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 heavy yoake of this their long and intollerable captivitie, which yet one day shall have an end ...

they must needs be understood of an eternall King and kingdome as must also those other words of God in the psalme Thou art my sonne this day haue I begotten thee aske of me and I will giue thee the Heathen for thyne inheritance the ends of the earth for thy possession Thou shalt crush them with a rod of yron and breake them in pieces like a p●tters vess●l which prophecie was never fulfilled in Salomon nor in any other temporall King in Iewrie after him And much lesse this that followeth They shall feare thee as long as the sunne and moone endureth from generation to generation In his daies shall the righteous flourish and abondance of peace so long as the moone endureth His dominion also shall be from sea to sea and from the river unto the ends of the earth They that dwell in the wildernesse shall kneele before him and his enemies shall lick the dust The Kings of Tharshish and of the yles shall bring presents the Kings of Sheba and Seba shall bring gifts yea all Kings shall worship him all nations shall serue him His name shall be for ever his name shall indure as long as the sunne all Nations shall be blessed in him and shall blesse him And blessed be the Lord God euen the God of Israel which onely doth wonderous things And blessed be his glorious name for ever and let all the earth be filled with his glorie Amen Amen And so he endeth as it were in a traunce ravished beyond measure with the sweet and heauvenly contemplation of this spiritual and everlasting kingdome of the Messiah for to him and to no other can all these circumstances and hyperbolicall speaches of David rapte with the spirit of prophecie properly and primarily apperteyne though literally the Iewes understand them of Salomon as they doe many other places in like case applying them onely to the type never looking to the substance whereof those types and figures were but shadowes and semblances God of his mercie in his good tyme take away the vayle from their hearts that at length they may see the true Salomon in all his royaltie not any longer to grope at noone dayes wincking with their eyes against the cleare sunne like their forefathers as it is in Esay a most fearefull judgment of God layd upon that Nation of old objected to them many tymes and oft both by Christ and his Apostels but in vayne goe and say unto this people ye shall heare indeed but shall not understand ye shall playnly see and not perceiue make the heart of this people fatte make their eares heavie and shutte their eyes least they see with their eyes and heare with their eares and understand with their hearts and convert and be healed Whereupon ensueth euen upon this wincking and wilfull obstinacie a most severe denunciation of finall desolation Lord how long sayth the Prophet and he answered untill the cities be wasted without inhabitant the houses without a man and the land be utterly desolate c. But yet a tenth reserved to returne a holy seed remayning in due tyme to be converted This judgment and desolation hath been along tyme upon them they feel it and groane under the burden of it as their forefathers did in Egypt under Pharaoh yet wincking shutte their eyes and will not see it I meane acknowledge the true cause of these so great judgments revealed from heauen upon thē euen the contempt of Gods holy Prophets sent unto them from tyme to tyme but especially of the Messiah whose blood lyeth heavily upon them euen to this day as their forefathers desired his blood be upō us on our children which all the world seeth is come to passe yea they themselues feele it yet wincking with their eyes they will not see it But there is a tenth to returne c. The rest which will not this their Messiah to raigne over them let them look into that parable in the Gospel there shall they finde a farre more fearefull destruction denounced then the former The first being but for a tyme but a type of the other but a beginning of woes the other eternall for ever and ever The first he pronounceth with teares over Ierusalem the second he denounceth as an angrie Iudge provoked at length to execute his fierce wrath upō them without any compassion at all His words are these Moreover those mine enemies which would not that I should raigne over them bring them hither and slay them before me Which words of our Saviour although they will in no wise beleeve no more then they did the former yet shall they find his words one daye as truly fulfilled to them in the one as they haue done alreadie in the other And howsoever hitherto they haue esteemed of him as a false prophet a deceiver yet hath he been to them but too true a Prophet in all their calamities both first and last And so after this long digression I come to the next The Prophecie of Ieremie THe sixt which confirmeth the former is that of Iere. 23 5. Behold the dayes come sayth the Lord that I will rayse up unto David a righteous braunch and a King shall raigne c. And this is the n●me whereby they shall call him the Lord our righteousnes This was spoken of Davids seed aboue 400 yeeres after David was dead and buried which proveth manifestly that the former promises were not made unto him for Salomon his sonne or any other temporall King of his line but onely for the Messiah who was called so peculiarly the sonne and seed of David The Prophecie of Ezechiel THe seauenth which also confirmeth the other is that of Ezec. 34.23 I will set up ashepheard over them he shall feede them euen my servant David c. In which words the Iewes themselues doe confesse in their Talmud that their Messiah is called by the name of David for that he shall discend of the seed of David and so it must needs be for that King David being dead so long before could not now come againe in his owne person to feed them him self The Prophecie of Isaie THe eight is the prophecie of Isaiah 2.2 It shall be in the last dayes that the mountayne of the house of the Lord shal be prepared in the toppe of the mountaines and shall be exalted aboue the hilles and all nations shall flowe unto it c. for the Law shall goe forth of Syon and the Word of the Lord from Ierusalem He shall judge among the Nations Which verie words Michah repeateth cap. 4.1 and are applyed there as also here unto the Me●siah they can haue no other meaning by the judgement of the Iewes themselues In that daie shall the budde of the Lord be beautifull and glorious and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent Vnto us a child is borne unto us a sonne is giuen and the gouvernment is upon his shoulders he sh●ll call his
