eat yet that it will be lawful to eat of it And what else will it signifie only that by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ the Law is by him renewed grounded upon the first precept given by God unto Noah which sayes 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Even as the green herb have I given you all things Gen. 9.3 All is lawful for ye to eat the Hogg returned once again unto its former condition that it should be lawful to eat it Where it is seen that as well by the sacred Text as by the sayings of the Rabbies his Law was to have a change and a renewing The third proof that not only it was to be changed in corporal things but also in divine and spiritual I will prove it unto you by 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the Rabbies when they say 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 They have demanded of the divine Law what deserveth a sinner what punishment must he have Answer that he bring a sacrifice and he shall be pardoned They have demanded of God himself what deserveth a sinner what punishment must he have Answer nothing else only repentance and he shall be pardoned proving of it from the Verse which David said Man and beast shall God save 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 What else can be declared by your Rabbies themselves but that a Time was to come Psalm 36. that there should not be any need at all of sacrifices of beasts or animals for the remission of sins but only bare repentance since that sacrifice was nothing else but the Figure Type of the sacrifice of Christ as I refer to an other place the particular explanation thereof It sufficeth hitherto to have proved unto you by reasons evident powerful and clear that this your and my former Law was to be changed Therefore if it be true as I proved that this change must be it cannot be by any other than by this second Law of Charity and Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ who is the true Messias and God and the Son of God in one and the same person But first I will prove unto you the qualities that the Messias is to have that not only he is to be man born of a woman but God himself in essence and his Son by generation and this with brevity that I may not be tedious deferring the full enlargement of the same to my next work that he must be God himself I prove it unto you the Prophet saith speaking of the Messias 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 And this is his name whereby he shall be called Jer. 23.9 the Lord our Righteousness and in another place Cap. 33.16 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 And this is the name wherewith he shall be called the Lord our Righteousness Well ye know my Heb. Brethren that this name of Jehovah that is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Lord can not be given nor is it ever given nor is it found written but for the proper divine Essence as your Cabalists do say i. e. the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 vein and sourse of all sacred and divine names and is called by them 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 a proper name and essential name and others they call them 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 surnames which may be found written with prophane significations as Eloim 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which may signifie Idols or Judges or else Adonai written in this manner 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which may be interpreted prophanely for my Lords but yet when this name is written with this word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Jehovah it cannot be allow'd otherwise than Sacred Holy and for Divine Essence it self Then if the Messiah is called with this title of 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Jehovah he must be God himself and not an ordinary man I observe also Brethren that the Prophet Isaiah speaking of the Messiah and of the names by which he is to be called saith 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 And his name shall be called wonderful Isa 9.6 Counsellor the mighty God the everlasting Father the Prince of Peace O grand Titles among the rest 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the mighty God spirituality 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 God Humanity conjoyn'd 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 deriving from the name 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which signifies Man Observe that ye shall not find in all the sacred Scriptures any particular person intituled 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 God with this word only the Messias which was to come for whom had been spoken al the Prophecies which have been in him fulfilled thus then the Messias is not only to be corporeal as ye believe but corporeal and spiritual both 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 as if 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 God and man And it was reason Brethren that it should be so for if we shall go about to consider the work that this Messias came to do and whence it proceeds we shall see that it was not expedient that he should be meer man for this Messias proceeds only as wel ye know by occasion of the curse given by God unto our first Father Adam for the sin of the fruit having said unto him 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 for ye well know where it is spoken duplicately by dying thou shalt die it s interpreted by your own very Rabbies that it treats always of two deaths that is death spiritual and death corporeal or temporal so that to the end that the world should not perish for this great sin the mercy of God hath found the means for to appease his justice and to save the world from this 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 diabolical serpent for ye know well what the Rabbies say 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 He is the serpent he is the wicked temptation he is the Devil he is the Embassador of death he comes down and tempts he riseth and accuseth he descends and takes the soul So that this serpent is nothing else but diabolical temptation for God promiseth to put hatred betwixt this serpent and the seed of the woman insomuch that he saith 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 He shall bruise thy head and thou shalt bruise his heel what else can this clearly signifie with the foundation as I have exprest unto you of spiritual death to which Adam was condemned the which as ye know must cease with the coming of the Messias as your Rabbies say 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 In the time to come the Divine Majesty will take the wicked temptation and behead it before the righteous to the end there may be no more temptation nor spiritual death but the remedy of all the evils as well temporal as spiritual which flow from sin might be obtained by the coming of the Messiah and for these so great effects a meer man was not sufficient and therefore he was to be God and man And the benefits of his coming were not to be extended to the Hebrews alone but to other nations also that all the world might be united in the

prophecies of the same Daniel plainly fulfilled in the beginning of the first coming of Christ at his conception and nativity Dan. 7.25 The first is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 until a time and times and the dividing of time 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 a time is the greatest age of a man 100. years according to 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Pizke Aboth where the rules of life are proportioned to every age till 100. years beyond which if a man live his time is no more accounted then if he were dead 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 after a hundred years he is as one dead and gone and annihilated from the world and two times consequently 200. years and the dividing of time 50. years which are in all 350. according to the same account in an other prophecie of the Messias 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that it shall be for a time Dan. 21.7 time and an half Now from the building of the second temple to the Nativity of our Lord are about 350. years and accordingly at that time the Prophecies were both fulfilled In him also were accomplished that death and passion which it behoved the Messias to suffer according to the Prophet Isaiah the particular explication whereof I reserve to the Treatise already promised In him was fulfilled the Prohecie of Haggai 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 The glory of this latter house Chap. 52.53 Chap. 52. shall be greater then of the former In what my Brethren did this superiority consist Ye know that in the second temple was neither Prophecy nor 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 celestial fire for sacrifices nor several of those other excellencies wherewith the first was magnified But here was the advantage of the second Temple that whilst it remained This Messias This Son of God was to come and redeem mankind and erect a spiritual temple in the souls of believers in all parts of the world for God to inhabit instead of that visible temple at Jerusalem therefore this house is called 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the last and not 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the second to signifie that after the destruction of this there should be no more material fabricks neither would God any longer dwell in temples made with hands The coming of this Messias hath also made apparent the truth of that Prophecy of Zachariah 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 The Lord shall be King over all the earth Zech. 14. v. 9. that is the world shall cease from Idolatry and come to the acknowledgment of the true God 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Jehovah shall be one and his name one that is The Messias who is called Jehovah as I have proved before is together with God the Father one in name and one in nature substance and essence and Brethren let not this mystery of the blessed Trinity which I know is your greatest quarrel with the Christian Religion seem so strange seeing the manner of all things relating to the Godhead is inexplicable ye also have two 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Articles which at first view seem inconsistent and hardly to be accomodated to our understanding and yet your selves hold it necessary to believe them both viz. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Divine prescience and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that freedom of will which makes a man capable of 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 punishment or reward and the great Rabbi Maimon esteems it enough for the removing of this difficulty ro say that 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Divine knowledge is not as ours that we cannot conceive how the prescience of God is because it is not distinct from but the same thing with the divine Essence and consequently Gods Essence would not be incomprehensible if his prescience were not so Whereupon your Doctors say in the explication of the aforecited words of 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Maimon that we ought to believe those Articles though we are not able to conceive the manner how they consist together which answer if you admit as true and sufficient in the case of prescience and free-will by the same reason it ought to be accepted so far in the Article of the Blessed Trinity as not to conclude it therefore impossible to be true because it is incomprehensible especially seeing your 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Cabbalists in several places affirm as hard things in effect and not unlike to those which the Christian faith teacheth concerning the Trinity viz. That the three first 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 celestial Orders which are 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Crown Knowledge Intelligence signified by the word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Jah which is derived from the name 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Jehovah cannot suffer any 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 separation that they are three yet but one essence and how difficult soever this matter may seem to you I doubt not to prove it from your own books and particularly from plain and clear Allegations out of 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Zoar. I will not enlarge my discourse further in the explication of all the Prophecies which make mention of the Messias how they are accomplished in Christ our Saviour because it is an argument already insisted on by many excellent writers and I my self also purpose with the assistance of God to treat more fully of it hereafter I conclude them with an observation now commonly known but originally taken from 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the Lectures of the College of Eliah viz. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 The world is to continue six Thousand years Two thousand empty Two thousand Law Two thousand the dayes of the Messias That there were two thousand years from the Creation of the world to 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the giving of the Law is agreed on all hands and of the remaining four thousand which according to your Rabbies were to be equally divided betwixt the Law of Moses and the Messias three thousand and six hundred are already past and you are still expecting the Messias and will not yet allow the second period of this threefold division to be compleat and ended The sum of all in few words is this The Law of Moses was to be changed The expected Messias was to come in such a prefixed time He was to be God and Man in one person He was to suffer and die He was to be the Redeemer of the world He was to take away Idolatry All which according to the clearest evidence of Scripture History and Tradition are so fulfilled in the person of Jesus of Nazareth as to leave it without controversie that he is the true Messias whose coming was foretold by Moses and the Prophets TO him therefore my earnest desire and prayer is that after this long and almost invincible obstinacy of our nation the truth which I have imbraced may be believed and acknowledged by you all that ye may be delivered from the curses to which unbelievers are liable and may receive a reward with the soul of the faithful at our Saviours Second Coming ALthough
