A87478 The resurrection of dead bones, or, The conversion of the Jewes. In a treatise, wherein are clearly demonstrated the places where, and manner how the ten supposed lost Tribes of Israel do at this day subsist. With a description of the future glorious estate of the Twelve, at the incomparable union of Judah and Ephraim; which must shortly be in reference to its compleating the whole mysterie of mans redemption, and real establishing of the kingdom of Jesus Christ, after the Jews conversion. / Written by J.J. Philo-Judæus. J. J. 1655 (1655) Wing J19; Thomason E1501_1; ESTC R208651 64,571 139

practice_n and_o life_n without_o god_n in_o the_o world_n if_o know_v of_o god_n as_o he_o pretend_v yet_o notwithstanding_o do_v not_o study_v to_o glorify_v he_o as_o god_n but_o in_o his_o work_n

unto_o this_o day_n which_o miracle_n as_o moses_n then_o think_v to_o have_v be_v sufficient_a to_o persuade_v they_o to_o obedience_n so_o now_o it_o may_v be_v some_o think_v that_o all_o those_o

motive_n extraordinary_a to_o produce_v faith_n in_o he_o who_o come_v to_o save_v they_o but_o as_o moses_n well_o say_v then_o so_o i_o may_v safe_o say_v now_o that_o for_o all_o those_o wonder_n that_o they_o have_v see_v yet_o god_n have_v not_o give_v they_o a_o heart_n to_o perceive_v and_o i_o will_v show_v you_o the_o chief_a reason_n of_o this_o present_a hardness_n it_o be_v as_o yet_o

ad_fw-la impossibilia_fw-la so_o that_o the_o manner_n of_o our_o saviour_n convince_a israel_n of_o their_o righteousness_n we_o dare_v not_o meddle_v but_o we_o that_o have_v taste_v of_o god_n
