A51572	The Messias of the Christians and the Jewes held forth in a discourse between a Christian, and a Iew obstinately adhering to his strange opinions, & the forced interpretations of scripture, wherein Christ the true savior of the whole world is described from the prophets and likewise that false and counterfeited Messias of the Jewes, who in vaine is expected by that nation to this very day, is discovered / written first in Hebrew, but now rendered into English by Paul Isaiah, a Jew born, but now a converted and baptized Christian.

upon him and with his stripes we are healed c. Doe you see how wonderfull things the Prophet hath spoke concerning the Messias and all these things are fulfilled in our Christ Againe heare what the same Prophet saith In that day the branch of the Lord shall bee beautifull and glorious and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel Where Ionathan hath interpreted in Chaldee after this manner In that time the Messias of the Lord shall be for joy and honour Behold the Messias is called the branch of the Lord that is the sonne of God as also in Ieremiah he is called the branch of David for he saith thus In those daies and at that time will I cause the branch of righteousnesse to grow up unto David Where Ionathan the Chaldee interpreter saith thus In those daies and at that time will I raise up to David a Messias of righteousnesse You see now that the Creator could suffer afflictions not in the divine nature but in the humanity which he assumed in the unity of the person Iew These are wonderful things and what I pray you hath that your Iesus done or what need was there that hee should bee born of a woman why did he sustaine all those passions and afflictions which our fathers brought upon him Christian Was it not said already that he was wounded for our transgressions All we like sheep have gone astray wee have turned every one to his own way and the Lord hath made the iniquities of us all to meet in him Iew Some of our teachers have said the Messias hath no other passions but a certaine internall griefe and trouble whereby he is internally afflicted that his comming is so long deferred and in the meane while sees his people in captivity and he cannot helpe them and deliver them but he shall never be delivered into the hand of his enemies as ye affirme Christian Your Rabbies have been estranged from the womb they have gone astray as soon as they were borne speaking lies stopping their eares like the deaf adder that they might not heare the truth they have ceased to heare rightly and wisely and therefore God hath cast them off and hath blinded their eies as it is written Goe and tell this people heare ye indeed but understand not and see yee indeed but perceive not Make the heart of this people fat and make their eares heavy and shut their eies lest they see with their eies and heare with their eares and understand with their heart and convert and bee healed Loe it hath come to pass to you Iews according to this prophecy for your fathers saw the wonderfull workes which our Christ did and would not understand They heard his doctrine and could not reprove him and yet they stopt their eares likewise yee to this very day do confirme and approve their works and therefore in vain do ye expect another Messias Iew If your Christ is God and the true Messias why did he conceale himselfe in the flesh and why did hee not come openly by renewing his law and giving it publikely for so the men of his age had not erred neither should they stumble who come into this world after him he should have done his works in publick that all might beleeve on him especially that great multitude which he destroied and deprived of redemption by his concealing himselfe for because of that concealing they were separated from him and beleeved not in him Thou knowest not what thou saiest hath he not shown in words and deeds such miracles as no other did that hee was the Messias and redeemer of the world and yet your fathers said that by Beelzebub and by the power of devils that is by magick art he did all those things lying against their own lives Loe God hath sent his own son his onely son into the most pure womb of a virgin as Isaias did foretell and hee was made man within her and born of her without her pangs and griefe and that by a miracle farre otherwise than other women bring forth and that was not impossible forasmuch as all things which doe far exceed the power of man are possible to GOD and by his power a body might be created within a body and be quickned by the spirit Also he could and he would send his glorious word within a pure virgin that hee might bee incarnated within her and be born of her without any griefe or paine and as he entred into her so he went out of her and she remained a virgin before and after the birth But that child who also is the glorious God did walke upon the earth thirty three yeares that he might save man for he was sent to the sons of Israel to redeem them but because they were a people of a stiffe neck and would not receive him neither observe all the signes such as no man ever did the Gentiles come and received him with love and the blessed God chose them for his peculiar people in stead of Israel and they were made the sons of Abraham for their faith because Abraham is the father of the faithfull and beleevers in God are the sons of Abraham He therefore was that Messias of whom the Prophets did prophecy and he walked thirty yeares before hee became known to these who were in the world But presently after that time he manifested himself to the Israelites that hee was the Christ of the LORD and wrought signes and miracles such as none of the Prophets ever did shewing to the whole world that he came to redeem man for sin as it is written He was wounded for our transgressions and hee made a new covenant with us according to that which is said in Ieremy Behold the daies come saith the Lord and I will make with Israel and with Iudah a new covenant not according to the covenant which I made with their fathers for I will put my Law in their inward parts c. therefore it is manifest from these sayings that the Lord would make with the Israelites a new covenant and not according to that covenant which he made with Abraham when he made a covenant with him that every male child should be circumcised but this covenant was another covenant namely baptisme in which by the power of Christs sufferings all mans sin is remitted and that signe or Sacrament is common to male and female Moreover he gave them a new law after that the Law of Moses was fulfilled for the Law was given to Moses onely for a time as you have it written in the Thalmud in the Treatise of Idolatry where it is said that the law was given but for 2000 yeares for the Fathers of good memory say thus That the world must endure 6000 yeares that it should bee 2000 yeares void and without form that after two thousand yeares the Mosaicall Law should bee given that it should stand 2000
