sails doth sail beyond the rivers of Ethiopia by whom the Prophet saith are sent ambassadors in ships of bulrushes such as the Ethiopians use commonly called Almadiae Bring back a people driven out of their countrey and torn and more miserable then any among us Gifts shall be brought to the Lord of Sebaoth in the place where the name of the Lord of Sebaoth is worshipped in the mount Sion The Prophet Zephany saith the same in Zeph. 3.9 10. Then will I give to the people that they speaking a pure language may all call upon the name of God whom they shall serve with reverence from beyond the rivers of Ethiopia they shall bring to me for a gist Hatray the daughter of my dispersed ones that is the Nations of Ethiopia Which agrees with that of Isa And your brethren which are the 10. Tribes shall bring gifts to the Lord. SECT XIX ANd without doubt they also dwell in Media from thence they passed Enphrates whither they were first brought as in 2 King 17.24 and in the book of Tobit Josephus also speaks of them in the Preface of his book of the War of the Jews that the Jews did think that their brethren who dwelt beyond Euphrates and farther would rebell against the Romanes Agrippa in his oration to the people of Jerusalem that they would not rebell against the Romanes speaks thus What associates do ye expect to joyn with you in your rebellion and war doth not all the known world pay tribute to the Romans Perhaps some of ye hope to have help from them beyond Euphrates And in lib. 2. Antiquit c. 5. speaking of those who in the time of Ezra returned from Babylon to Jerusalem he saith All Israel dwelt in Media for two Tribes only dwelt in Asia and Europe and lived subject to the Romans as the other ten on the other side Enphrates where they are so many that they cannot be counted It is not therfore to be doubted the people encreasing after their first transportation they sought out new places which we have formerly mentioned SECT XX. LAstly all think that part of the ten Tribes dwell beyond the river Sabbathion or sabbaticall Rabbi Johanan the Author of the Jerusalem Talmud who lived 160 years after the destruction of the 2d Temple saith in his treatise of the Sanhedrim ca. 17. That the 10. Tribes were carried into 3. places sc to the Sabbaticall river to Daphne the suburbs of Antioch and thither where a cloud comes down and covers them and that they shall be redeemed from those three places for so he opens that place of Isa Chap. 49.9 That they may say to the captives go forth sc to them who were at the Sabbaticall river to them that are in darknesse shew your selves sc to them who are compassed with the cloud and to all they shall be refreshed in the wayes sc to them who live in Daphne of Antioch which is in Syria Whence you may observe that the learned man l'Emperiur translated it ill at the sides of Antioch whereas Daphne is the proper name of a pleasant grove near Antioch Sedar olam makes mention of that cloud and cals them mountains of obscurity And in Talmud tractat Sanhedr c. 11. R. Jonathan ben Vziel who lived an hundred yeers before the destruction of the 2d Temple in Exod. 34.10 where the Lord saith I will do wonders before all thy people such as were never done in the whole earth or in any Nation c. and he refers all those things to the transportation of the people He shall draw them to the rivers of Babylon and shall carry them to the sabbaticall river and shall teach them that those miracles were never performed to any Nation of the known world Our ancient Rabbins in Beresit Rabba no mean book in Perasach do say that Tornunfus asking how it should appear that the day which we keep is the 7th day on which God rested after the Creation of the world Rabbi Aquebah who lived 52. yeers after the destruction of the 2d Temple answered by an argument taken from the stones of the Sabbaticall river which in the six dayes are tossed up and down with a continuall motion but do rest on the Sabbath day and move not The same is said in the Babylonian Talmud tractat Sanhed c. 7. in Tanuah Perasach c. 9. In eodem Beresit Raba in Perasach 37. Rabbi Simon saith The ten Tribes were carried to the Sabbaticall river but Juda and Benjamin are dispersed into all Countreys In Asirim Raba the last verse of the Song it s said Our bed is flourishing that it is meant the ten Tribes which were carried to the Sabbaticall river and that river running all the week doth cause the ten Tribes there remaining to be shut up for though on the 7th day the river doth rest yet it is forbidden by our Law to take a journey then and for that reason they remained there miraculously as lost and concealed from us So that of Isa 49. That they say to the prisoners go forth is interpreted of them in Jalcut R. Aquebah after the same manner explains that of Levit. 36.38 And ye shall perish among the heathen And that of Isa 27. ult and they shall come who were ready to perish in Assyria Because they are remote from the rest therefore another Rabbi in Bamibar Raba Parasa 16. applyes to them that of Isa 49.12 Behold them who come from far that so all those Authors mention that River The testimony of Josephus is famous lib. 7. de Bel. Jud. ca. 24. saying The Emperour Titus passing between Arca and Raphanea Cities of King Agrippa he saw the wonderfull River which though it be swift yet it is dry on every seventh day and that day being past it resumes its ordinary course as if it had no change and it always observes this order It is called Sabbaticall from the solemn feast of the Jews because it imitates their rest every seventh day I know some do otherwise expound those words of Josephus but they hit not his meaning as appears by this that he cals the River Sabbathio or sabbaticall which word cannot be derived but from Sabbath and who doth not see that it ceaseth to flow or move on the Sabbath day and so Josephus must be understood according to my sense Pliny also confirms this opinion lib. 1. Nat hist c. 2. he saith In Judea a river lyes dry every Sabbath yet I think Pliny is deceived and ill informed when he saith it is a river in Judea neither is it to be found in Judea but in another place where many Jews live R. Selomoh Jarchi who lived 540. yeers since mentions that River in Comment Talm. saying The stones and sand of that River do continually move all the six dayes of the week untill the seventh R. Mardochus Japhe in his learned book Jephe Thoar saith The Arabians derive Sabbathion from the Sabbath who use to adde the particle ion to adjectives The

lately brought a bed to enter their Temples till they are purified The Inhabitants of Hispaniola think those do sin who lye with a woman a little after her child-birth And the Indians of new Spain do severely punish Sodomie Many of the Indians do bury their dead on the Mountains which also is the Jewish custome and Garcias saith the name Chanan to found in those countries You may wonder at this that the Indians doe every 50. yeares celebrate a Jubily with great pomp in Mexico the Metropolis of the whole Province Also that on the Sabbath-day all are bound to be present in the Temple to perform their Sacrifices and Ceremonies They also were divorced from their wives if they were not honest The Indians of Pern New-Spain and Guatemala did marry the widdowes of their dead brethren May not you judge from these things that the Jewes lived in those places and that the Gentiles learned such things of them Add also to what hath been said that the knowledge which the Indians had of the creation of the world and of the universall Flood they borrowed from the Israelites SECT 7. THe 4th ground of this opinion is that the Indians are of a brown colour and without beards but in the new world white and bearded men were found who had never commerce with the Spaniards and whom you cannot affirme to be any other than Israelites because also as they could never be overcome so they shall never be fully known as appears by what followes Petrus Simon a Franciscan in his History of finding out the firme land saith that in the raigne of Charles the 5. he commanded one called Philippus de Vire thither to discover and plant those countries that he found them unknown toward the north of America about 5. degrees in the Province of Omeguas which is neare the Province of Venezuela and now is called Garracas And he having learned of their neighbours the greatnesse of that people both in wealth and in war he determined to war upon them Who when they had marched a good way at last found a rich city full of people and faire buildings and not farre off 2 husbandmen tilling the ground whom they would have made prisoners that they might be their interpreters But when they saw themselves set on they fled apace towards the city but Philippus d' Vire and his Soldiers followed them hard on horseback and had almost taken them whereupon the husbandmen stood still and with their Speares wounded Philip in the breast piercing through his Brest-plate made of wooll to keepe off arrowes He wondering at the dexterity of that people judged it a wiser course not to make war upon that Province and people so expert in war and who dared to resist armed men Therefore he retreated with his Company And to this day none goe to that people neither is it known which way to go to them It is probable that they are Israelites whom God preserves in that place against the day of redemption Alonsus de Erzilla testifies the same thing in 2. part sua Araucaniae Cant. 27. where describing those places he thus speakes in Spanish Some Countries there so populous are seen As one continued City which have been Never as yet discoved but unknown To other Nations have lyen hid alone Not found by forraine sword nor forrain trade Doe either seeke nor suffer to be made But unacquainted live till God shall please To manifest his secrets shew us these SECT 8. IOanues Castilianus Vicarius living in the City Pampelona of Nova Granada in Peru saith that when Gonzalus Pisarrus had revolted from his people he sent some to search out new countries of the Indians who lived eastward whose number could never be knowne because that as some say their country is above 2000 miles in length if you compute from the head of the river Maragnon which runnes neare Andes of Gusco unto the place where it runs into the Sea where therefore the River began to be navigable Petrus d' Orsua being a Captaine went by water and h●s Soldiers with him in Vessels called Canows which when they were too small for the sorce of the streame he built Brigandines on the bank of the River Guariaga which washing the Province Chachapoyas runs into Maragnon He was scarce gone aboord his Brigandines when one of his owne Soldiers named Aquirre a stout man killed him who by common consent succeeded the slaine When they had gone a little way they found a plain without a mountaine where many houses stood on each side of the bank of Maragnon being built by the Indians They still went on for 48 houres together and saw nothing but tall and white houses which they feared to goe into because the Inhabitants were numerous and because they heard the noise of Hammers for which cause they thought the Inhabitants to be Goldsmiths They went on still and now sailed in the north Sea but alwayes neere to the shoar of the Province of Margarita where Aquirre was catcht by the Inhabitants and hanged for they heard that he had killed his Captain Petrus de Orsua SECT 9. CAspar Bergarensis whom I have oft spoke with went from the City Loxa which is in the Province of Quiti in Peru and accompanied the Colonell Don Diego Vaca dela Vega going to seek a new Country In the yeare 1622 they came to the Province Jarguasongo which had been discovered by Captain Salines and they passed the Mountaines Cordillerae where the River Maragnon is not above a stones cast over In the Province of the Iude Mainenses they built a City whose name was S. Franciscus de Borja at Esquilache In his company were an 100 Spaniards in Canows Having conquered those Indians and compelling them to sweare fealty to the King of Spaine the Collonel being instructed by the Mainenses went to other places after he had put a Garrison into his new City Having sayled fifty leagues in the River he found some Cottages of the Indians which there hid themselves by favour of many Rivers which there run into Maragnon When they had sailed into the River Guariaga where Petrus de Orsua had built his Brigaudines and was killed by Aquerra they asked the Indians whom they had taken who were called Guariaga from the Rivers name what people doe live on the Rivers side they told the Colonell that 5 dayes journey off there live men of tall stature comely in presence and have as great beards as the Spanyards have valiant and warlick who are not skilled in Canowes though the rest of the Indians use no other he presently returned the same way he came SECT 10. IN Fardambuc about 40 years since 8 Tabaiares had a mind to look out new Countries and to see whether the Land that was beyond and unknown were inhabited They having spent 4 moneths in travelling Westward they came to mountains to whose top they got with difficulty and found a plain which a pleasant river did compass by whose bank side
