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

great_a misery_n then_o will_v zion_n use_v this_o proverb_n again_o how_o be_v the_o mighty_a man_n fall_v and_o the_o strong_a man_n become_v feeble_a those_o which_o spoil_v we_o but_o be_v not_o spoil_v but_o now_o our_o emanuel_n will_v render_v they_o the_o desert_n of_o their_o action_n even_o their_o cruel_a and_o bloody_a persecution_n of_o we_o oh_o that_o man_n will_v not_o be_v so_o witting_o guilty_a as_o know_v and_o see_v the_o lord_n be_v for_o they_o dare_v notwithstanding_o resist_v and_o obstruct_v they_o in_o their_o way_n to_o happiness_n do_v not_o the_o lord_n say_v that_o although_o a_o woman_n possible_o may_v forget_v her_o suck_a child_n yet_o he_o will_v not_o forget_v they_o now_o this_o motherly_a remembrance_n here_o speak_v of_o extend_v itself_o further_a than_o a_o bare_a memory_n because_o it_o be_v common_o speak_v of_o a_o inveterate_a malicious_a spirit_n never_o to_o forget_v his_o enemy_n but_o this_o be_v of_o a_o contrary_a nature_n so_o as_o to_o remember_v with_o tear_n and_o affection_n with_o bowel_n yearning_n and_o ready_a to_o forgive_v what_o be_v past_a and_o to_o renew_v yea_o many_o time_n do_v increase_v the_o

in_o time_n of_o trouble_n they_o be_v fasten_v as_o a_o nail_n in_o a_o sure_a place_n and_o as_o concern_v their_o election_n they_o can_v be_v move_v but_o by_o the_o way_n i_o must_v give_v this_o caution_n that_o no_o man_n from_o what_o i_o have_v already_o write_v shall_v suppose_v the_o jew_n to_o be_v even_o now_o convert_v and_o that_o because_o as_o the_o good_a prophet_n moses_n know_v what_o great_a miracle_n there_o have_v be_v wrought_v before_o they_o say_v yet_o the_o lord_n have_v not_o give_v you_o a_o heart_n to_o perceive_v and_o eye_n to_o see_v and_o ear_n to_o hear_v 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 strange_a miracle_n which_o be_v do_v by_o our_o saviour_n and_o have_v for_o many_o year_n together_o since_o be_v do_v by_o his_o apostle_n in_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o jew_n may_v have_v be_v 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 because_o god_n have_v not_o through_o his_o son_n jesus_n christ_n convince_v the_o jew_n of_o their_o righteousness_n for_o i_o conceive_v that_o god_n have_v convince_v most_o of_o they_o of_o sin_n already_o but_o when_o our_o saviour_n word_n begin_v to_o take_v effect_n that_o be_v when_o he_o come_v he_o will_v convince_v the_o world_n of_o righteousness_n then_o let_v any_o man_n conclude_v that_o their_o conversion_n be_v even_o at_o the_o door_n now_o for_o to_o unfold_v what_o i_o find_v nowhere_o reveal_v i_o must_v use_v the_o father_n excuse_n nemo_fw-la obligatur_fw-la 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 mercy_n and_o goodness_n can_v declare_v and_o that_o with_o admiration_n after_o what_o a_o easy_a and_o sweet_a manner_n of_o argue_v god_n by_o his_o spirit_n have_v convince_v we_o of_o the_o foolishness_n and_o vanity_n that_o be_v in_o our_o own_o righteousness_n and_o then_o second_o present_v we_o we_o with_o the_o loveliness_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n and_o thereby_o do_v enable_v dark_a soul_n to_o see_v the_o necessity_n that_o there_o be_v of_o put_v on_o or_o in_o be_v clothe_v with_o his_o righteousness_n for_o that_o without_o it_o there_o can_v be_v no_o hope_n of_o salvation_n now_o this_o be_v as_o i_o suppose_v by_o my_o own_o experience_n the_o way_n which_o god_n use_v towards_o we_o i_o will_v humble_o submit_v to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n in_o his_o way_n to_o we_o unknown_a of_o deal_v with_o the_o jew_n but_o shall_v only_o beg_v to_o hasten_v it_o but_o 2._o that_o i_o may_v not_o be_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d or_o as_o it_o it_o use_v beyond_o my_o business_n i_o be_o now_o about_o to_o prove_v the_o call_n of_o the_o ten_o tribe_n in_o deut._n 28._o it_o be_v say_v that_o if_o they_o will_v not_o obey_v the_o voice_n of_o the_o lord_n they_o shall_v be_v cast_v forth_o into_o all_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o among_o a_o people_n which_o neither_o they_o nor_o their_o father_n know_v now_o to_o unfold_v this_o you_o will_v all_o grant_v that_o they_o do_v forsake_v and_o resist_v the_o voice_n of_o their_o saviour_n and_o then_o i_o prove_v that_o this_o scripture_n be_v not_o fulfil_v in_o their_o

this_o place_n doubtless_o be_v not_o as_o yet_o know_v unto_o the_o jew_n no_o nor_o the_o christian_n but_o since_o columbus_n time_n and_o then_o the_o lord_n threaten_v they_o further_o that_o
