of their Own Yet considering the Synchronisme of this Banishment and Discovery with the marvellous Perplexity the distressed Outcasts were in not knowing whither to go As also the great Gain that this Navigation afforded the hopes some might conceive of managing themselves more safely with their feigned Religion which they had not proved in a remote Place than at home Considering also the mixture of those Nations by Inter Marriages and that the greatest and best part of America is peopled by Spaniards and Portugals It is not improbable but many Jews may reside there tho covered with a Spanish Vail Manasseh Ben Israel Downam Thorowgood Eliot and others were of Opinion that America was first peopled by the Ten Tribes God's removing Israel out of his sight 2 Kings 17. v. 18 20 23. is no less than three times mentioned which may insinuate the Remoteness of that Land into which God by his Providence intended to cast them And none was so remote and so much out of sight as America Mr. Greenhil thinks it is no Haeresie to say Christ meant the Ten Tribes John 10.16 alluding to Ezek. 37.22 24. cap. 37. p. 462. If it be no Haeresie to say the Ten Tribes are the Sheep Why should it be accounted Haeresie to say America is the distinct Fold there implied For Christ doth not affirm that there shall be one Fold but that there shall be ONE FLOCK ONE SHEPHERD But however it might be when Mr. Mede writ Now it is manifest to all that very considerable Numbers of Jews are seated in the New World where they merchandize have their Synagogues and places of Burial At Spikes's in Barbados there is a Street called Jews Street tho most live at the Bridge and there is the Burying Place for both Towns At Jamaica there are a great many and Port-Royal also hath its Jews Street by the same Token that the Formidable Earthquake left that standing tho their Synagogue which stood in another Street was thrown down by it This Earthquake happened upon the Third day of the Week about a Quarter of an hour before Noon being the Seventh of June 1692. A very great Treasure of Merchandise and of Silver and Gold then perished Many Houses were swallowed up others thrown down at the Point and over the Island especially such as were built of Stone and Brick A very fair Church at Port-Royal and another newly built at Ligania were turned into heaps of Rubbish The Church at the Spanish Town was broken to pieces The Rocks and High Mountains could not withstand its Force but they also being touchd did smoke In a moment they lost all their Verdure and many cubits of their Stature Near Two Thousand Persons died whole Families being swallowd up together This Loss was in a manner peculiar to the Point very few comparatively being slain in other parts of the Island Some of New England were there left with the destroying Angel Others were taken into Protection who with a grateful Remembrance of God's distinguishing Favour towards them have given me the substance of this Account Upon this occasion the Prodigious Earthquakes of Lima in Peru of Sicilia and Naples might be mentioned but that the Digression would seem too long Only it may be noted that they are all Spanish and that there was but the distance of seven Moneths between this of Jamaica and the most Dreadful EARTHQUAKE of Sicilia For that was sent in January following upon the Lord's day being New-Years day according to the Julian Account To return to the Jews There are several Families of them at New York and New England is seldom wholly without them Now there are two at Boston viz. Mr. Joseph Frazon and Samuel Frazon his brother to whom I am beholden for a sight of the Spanish Bible Joseph Frazon was sometime Scholar to the learned Yeosuah Da Sylva in London They acquaint me that the Jews were formerly very numerous in the Dutch Plantations in Brasil their Father and Grandfather did dwell there Olinda was taken by the Dutch Anno 1629. how soon the Jews followed them thither I am not certain But upon the Surrender of those Places to the Portugals they were dispersed Yet at Suranam and Curasso there are plenty of them still Probably these Jews will be converted before any great Numbers of the Indians shall I say or Israelites be brought in That that ancient Prophesie may be fullfilled Zech. 12 7. The LORD also shall save the tents of Judah First that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the Inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnifie themselves against Judah To be for some time defrauded and deprived of her Husband was Rachels disgrace and grief which was renewed and multiplied by Barrenness after her enjoyment of him Gen. 30.1 And when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children Rachel envied her sister But when the Times of Refreshing by the New Jerusalem shall come Joseph shall take away his Mothers Reproach and her Children shall be more mightier than her Sisters Insomuch that there will be need of the forementioned Expedient to keep the balance Isa 11.13 The Envie also of Ephraim shall depart and the Adversaries of Judah shall be cut off Ephraim shall not envie Judah and Judah shall not vex Ephraim Isa 54.1 Sing O barren thou that didst not bear Break forth into singing and cry a●oud thou that didst not travail with child for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife saith the LORD That America hath been desolate and unmarried for innumerable Ages is a most sad and awfull Truth That she may now receive Jesus Christ as her Husband will be the desire and Prayer of all that favour the dust of Zion Caeteraque Prophetarum Oracula adimpleta To strive to exclude America from having any concernment in Mat. 24.14 Luke 24.47 Act. 1.8 Or to go about to prove that these Scriptures had their Accomplishment in the New World before the Spanish Discovery is to give learned Bellarmin the better end of the Staff De Romano Pon. lib. 3 cap. 4. In this Encounter Whitaker himself is nearer a Foil than Triumph An Papa sit Antichrislus p. 663 664. Yet the Cardinal mistakes in placing this before the coming of Antichrist There is no colour for that no more than there is to imagine that the prevailing Rage of Antichrist in the Three Days Half can comprise his Beginning and total Duration However 't is a ridiculous thing for learned men with their cockle shells to pretend to lade the Ocean dry Known unto the Lord are all his Works and no doubt but He hath spoken of them in his Word which Word abides for ever So that what cometh to pass in the New World must be referred to some Prophesie And to make America to be the whole and only Object of the Curses denounced against Gog and Magog and to shut them out from all Promised Blessings is altogether Unscriptural
