THE MESSIAH ALREADY COME OR PROFES OF CHRISTIANITIE BOTH OVT of the Scriptures and auncient Rabbins to convince the Iewes of their palpable and more then miserable blindnesse if more may be for their long vaine and endlesse expectation of their MESSIAH as they dreame yet for to come Written in Barbarie in the yeare 1610 and for that cause directed to the dispersed Iewes of that Countrie and in them to all others now groaning under the heauy yoake of this their long and intollerable captivitie which yet one day shall have an end as all other states and conditions in the World they have their periods even when the fulnesse of the Gentiles is come in and when that vayle shall be taken away from their hearts as is prophecied Brethren my hearts desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they might be saved Rom. 10.1 For I would not Brethren that ye should be ignorant of this secret that partly obstinacie is come to Israel untill the fulnesse of the Gentiles be come in and so all Israel shall be saved as it is written c. Rom. 11.25 And Ierusalem shall be troden under foot of the Gentiles untill the time of the Gentiles be fulfilled Luk. 21.24 Even to this day when Moses is read the vayle is laid over their hearts neverthelesse when their heart shall be turned to the Lord the vayle shall be taken away 2 Cor. 3 15. Verely I say unto you ye shall not see me untill the time come that ye shall say Blessed is he that commeth in the name of the Lord. Luk. 13.35 How beautifull are the feete of them which bring glad tidings of peace and bring glad tidings of good things Rom. 10.15 AMSTERDAM Imprinted by Giles Thorp Anno M. DC XIX TO THE HIGH AND MIGHTY PRINCE FREDERICK KING OF BOHEMIA c. And TO HIS ROYALL SONNE the most hopefull yong Prince FREDERICK HENRY Most High and mightie Prince THis Treatise was published seven yeares agoe and Printed in the Low-Countries not long after the death of that noble Prince Henry my master And for that and some other reasons Dedicated to those high and honourable personages as by the Epistle following may appeare The same reasons have moued me to revise it and publish it a new vnder the Protection also of your Maiestie and Royall Issue that most hopefull yong Prince cujus e●go etiam nomine ipso recreor in whom the name of Prince Henry is now revived again to Gods Glory So likewise the name of Queene Elizabeth by your Majesties most happy inauguration King of Bohemia which two names are yet pretious and ever will be in the hearts of the English Nation and other Nations likewise The other reason for that the Iewes also whom this argument chiefly concerneth many of them remaine in your Maiesties Dominions whereof in time your Maiestie or Royall Issue as may be hoped raised vp of God for that very purpose may be a happy instrument as of the finall desolation of that Mysterie of Iniquitie Babylon so consequently of the finishing of that Mysterie of Godlinesse even the conversion of the Iewish Nation the very period of all Prophecies And then as Iohn concludeth his Revelation come Lord Iesu. He which testifieth these things saith surely I come quickly Amen Even so come Lord Iesu. Amen Amen Your Maties most humble devoted seruant IOHN HARRISON TO THE HIGH AND Mighty Lords the States Generall of the vnited Prouinces of the Low-Countries Also TO THE HIGH AND Mighty Prince Maurice Prince of Orange c. And To his noble Brother Prince Henrie All happinesse FOR two reasons I haue made bold to present unto your high and honourable considerations this Treatise following The one more particular in respect of that intyre amitie and correspondence which was betwixt my deare Master deceased Prince Henrie of famous memorie and your Exce●lencie and whole State whom he much honoured and thereof gaue sundry testimonies both publique and private whereof my selfe hauing the honour to be one of his Seruants neere unto him and by reason of my attendance much in his presence was oftentimes an eare-witnesse And that your princely Brother alter idem an other Henry cujus ego nomine ipso recreor even for my Masters sake that gone is and for that affection he sh●wed towards his Highnesse both in Life and Death who was much conversant with him before his sickn●sse and in his sicknesse came diu●rs times to visite his Highnesse and to condole with us in our heavinesse can also I make no doubt witnesse sufficiently whose hearts or rather but one heart and soule as it is in that place seemed to be knit together like the soule of David and Ionathan by a mu●uall symp●thie as in name so in nature and correspondence of disposition which had not untimely death prevented some further covenant like that of David and Ionathan might perhaps in time haue beene concluded wor●●●e such heroicall spirits An other reason is for that the persons whom this Argument chiefly concerneth to wit the Iewes many of them remaine in your Countrie and haue their habitation in peace and safetie not in that slaverie as in other Nations accounted of in the basest maner that may be in the number of dogs rather then of Men. Which though it haue fal●en upon them by the just judgement of God yea and by their owne judgement upon themselues so much the more just his blood be upon us and upon our children yet are they children of the Promise and beloved for the fathers sake as Paul pleadeth for them in divers places alledging both their prerogatives and priviledges aboue the Gentiles What is then the preferment of the Iew saith he much euery maner of way For to them apperteineth the adoption and the glorie and the covenants and the giving of the Law and the service of God and the Promises of whom are the Fathers and of whom concerning the flesh Christ came c. And in that respect we Gentiles ought not so proudly and tyrannously to insult over them as many doe especially Christians of all others should not adde affliction to affliction but rather pitie and bewaile their induration as Paul doth in the place before cited expecting with patience their conversion in due time as the Lord hath promised for if God himselfe loue them being his enemies for they are beloved as I said before for the Fathers sake as he loved us before our conversion when we were his enemies he loved us so the Apostle testifieth why should we Christians hate and abhorre them who are so highly in Gods account even the beloved of the Lord and hold them in such disgrace and contempt as we doe as in my sma●l observation and experience I am able to testifie both by that I have seene and heard which rather exasperateth them against our profession then otherwise Which harshnesse and uncharitablenesse of ours together with the Idolatrie and superstition of the Church of Rome
