since the Ruin of their Commonwealth our Doctor was very Inquisitive after and wisht some Learned Pen would give the World a fair Account of But to prevent the swelling of this Volume it was thought convenient to omit this Piece However for a Taste I cannot but remark to the Reader how that Jewish Author sets forth the Calamities and Unmerciful Destructions that befel that People in the Year 1096. That Year he writes was a Year of Affliction of Jacob. For they were opprest in the Lands of the Christians in all Places whither they were scattered For great and evil Afflictions found them out even such are Written in the Law of Moses and such as are not written in the Book For against them arose up these abominable People the Germans and French Men a Nation strong of Face which respecteth not Persons nor spareth Old nor Young Let us say they avenge the Cause of our Christ upon the Jews that are among us and cut them off from being a People neither let the Name of Israel be remembred any more Or let them Change their Glory and become like to us When the Synagogues which were in Germany heard this headlong Rumour their Heart melted and became as Water Fear took hold of them sorrow as a Woman in Travail They lift up their Hearts to the Rocks They appointed Fastings They put Dust upon their Heads and Girded with Sackcloth And they cryed unto the Lord in their Affliction but he covered himself with a Cloud that their Prayers should not pass Then he proceeded to shew the Massacres and Spoils committed upon the Jews in all or most of the Cities and Places where they had Synagogues as at Spires Worms Mentz Colen Wabzlak Meir Trevir Metz Prague and many other Towns And how their Flights from Place to Place and some●imes to the Bishop's House for their safety could not secure them but were pursued and slain with Fire and Sword Whereupon he makes this Conclusion Thus whithersoever they fled the Stone out of the Wall cryed after them to confound and destroy them For God had given Liberty to the Destroyers to Destroy in those evil Days And one Circumstance in these Miseries of the Jews deserves to be more particularly observed which methinks is a singular Evidence of the Judgment of God upon that People who once called for Christ's Blood upon them and theirs that they were not only slaughtered by their Enemies but that no small Numbers unnaturally perished by laying Violent Hands upon themselves and their nearest Relations And this either to avoid being slain with the Sword of their Enemies or to expiate with their own Blood any Compliances they had constrainedly made Thus at Spires he mentioneth a Woman who took a Knife and slew her self refusing to be defiled that is to become a Christian At Worms where Eight Hundred Souls were Massacred in two Days many slew themselves and each one his Brother and Friend and Son and Daughter Bridegrooms and Brides Nay the tender Women slew their Children with all their Hearts saith the Author and all their Souls and the Children said 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 i. e. Hear O Israel Which was the beginning of one of their Prayers when their Soul poured it self into their Mothers Bosom The like was done at Mentz and at Rincona two Men escaped who were forceably defiled one Named Vri and the other Isaac the Son of David Parnes and his Two Daughters were with him but they returned unto the Lord. And Isaac slew his Daughters on the Even of the Feast of Weeks His House also he set on Fire And thus saith this Jew he offered a Burnt Offering unto the Lord. And he and Vri went into the Congregation of the Lord i. e. the Synagogue set on fire it seems by the Enemy before the Ark and Died there before the Lord as the Fire ascended At Wabzlag they slew every one his Fellow lest the Christians should abuse them in the Pools of Water which were round about the City And one Named Rabbenu Samuel who had one only Son this Young Man bared his Neck and the Old Man took a Knife and blessed over the Slaughter and slew him And the Young Man Answered Amen And all they that stood by Answered and said Hear O Israel Much more to this purpose is related there of the deplorable state of that People at this time which he saith he transcribed partly out of the Commentaries of Rabbi Eliezer I have but one thing more to add and so shall conclude this tedious Preface which possibly may not be unacceptable to the Lovers of Dr. Lightfoot and his Studies to be informed of That besides these Tracts now offered to the Publick the last Year several other Posthumous Pieces of his were Printed in Holland in Latin b●ing a new Addition to his other Works as was hinted in the beginning These were to the Number of XXI Consisting of Some Learned Thoughts of the Greek Translation of the Bible by the Seventy An Inlet into the Talmud and a Summary of the remarkable Matters contained in it by way of Index Some Remarks of the Places and Towns of the Holy Land A Tract of the Spirit of Prophesie as it was among the Jews and afterwards ceased Some memorable Matters under Ezra and that which was styled the Great Synagogue An History of the Jewish University at Japhne that is Joppa Short Talmudical Notes upon Genesis Exodus Numbers and Joshua Some Annotations to be inserted into his Horae Hebraicae Talmudicae in their proper Places A Sermon in Latin Preached at Ely at an Episcopal Visitation before Bishop Lany in the Year 1674. that is the last Year but one of the Doctor 's Life Some of his Exercises at the Commencement Anno 1655. when he was Vice-Chancellor of Cambridge All these were writ by him in Latin The Pieces following were in English but Translated into Latin viz.
