The Creed of Rabbi Samuel, or Articles of his Faith,* 1.1 accordingly as he professes them in this Book, as may be found dispersed in the Chapters, out of which I have reduced it into this form.

[ I] 1. I Beleeve there are two commings of Christ. [ II] 2. And that in the first com∣ming Jesus Christ was born of the Virgin Mary without sinne, and without Man. [ III] 3. And that he was crucified and sold to death by our Forefathers the Jews, unjustly, cruelly and bloodily. [ IV] 4. I beleeve that the Jews are in a great sin, for which they are under the wrath of God, in a long captivi∣ty, & that this sin was the selling of that Just Jesus. [ V] 5. I beleeve they are full of blind∣nesse, and all their Sacrifice and service is abhominable to God, and that the Gentiles are received in their stead, by faith in Jesus Christ; & that the Service and Sacraments of the Gentiles (according to the Gospell) are acceptable to God. [ VI] 6. I beleeve the Jews

do blindly and vainly wait for another Sa∣viour, and that we shall never be delivered from our misery, till we look upon him whom we have pierced. [ VII] 7. And that all this cur∣sed state of the Jews was plainly foretold by the Prophets, and begun to come to passe after the death of Jesus. [ VIII] 8. I beleeve, the Christians Apostles come in room of the Jews prophets. [ IX] 9. And that the Jews do in vain finde fault with, and blame the obser∣vances of the Christians. [ X] 10. I beleeve that Jesus Christ is risen from the dead, and [ XI] 11, Ascended into Heaven. [ XII] 12. I verily beleeve he shall come again to judge both Iew and Gentile, and that the unbelieving Iew cannot be saved, but must go into everlasting death; and they that beleeve in Iesus Christ into everlasting life.

Iohn 1. 41. & 45.

VVe have found the Messias, which is, being iwterpreted, the Christ.

VVe have found him of whom Moses in the Law and the Prophets did write, Iesus of Nazareth the sonne of Ioseph.

Vivit in excelsis Christus, nec vivere vellem, Si non Immanuel viveret ille meus.
