VERS. XLIV.

〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉.

Thou shalt hate thine enemy.

HERE those poysonous Canons might be produced, whereby they are trained up in eternal hatred against the Gentiles, and against Israelites themselves, who do not in every respect walk with them in the same traditions, and rites. Let this one ex∣ample be instead of very many, which are to be met with every where. l 1.1 The Heretical Israelites, that is, they of Israel, that worship Idols, or who transgress, to provoke God: also Epicurean Israelites, that is, Israelites, who deny the Law and the Prophets, are by pre∣cept to be s••ain, if any can s••ay them, and that openly; but if not openly, you may compass their death secretly, and by subtilty. And a little after (O! ye extreme charity of the Jews to∣wards the Gentiles!) But as to the Gentiles, with whom we have no war, and likewise to the shepherds of smaller cattel, and others of that sort, they do not so plot their death, but it is forbidden them to deliver them from death, if they are in danger of it. For instance, A Jew sees one of them fallen into the Sea, let him by no means lift him out thence: for it is written, Thou shalt not rise up against the blood of thy neighbour: but this is not thy neighbour. And further, m 1.2 An Israelite, who alone sees another Israelite transgressing, and admonisheth him, if he repents not, is bound to hate him.
