A commendation of Rabbi Rubens original seking Ebrew Gospel from Albion to be kept for posterity by the L L. care: A monument against a sonne of Belial: who hindred the proceding of a most glorious cause: to call the curse of Iewes & Gentiles to light vpon him..

I mentioned R. H. in a commentarie vpon the Apocalyps a libeller in the depth of Atheisme, who libelled that the Iewes Epistle, which some of your Lordships saw sent from Byzantian Rome, or Con∣stantinus towne, to London, & bade send it thence for Basil to me: He libelled that I feigned the matter. Here vpon I haue complayned to God & the world in many the hi∣ghest degrees. The very Iew praysed God, that from the endes of the Earth hee heard the prayses of the

Eternall▪, & sayd: from Esay hee loked to heare that, from the endes of the earth. How honorable & how thankfull English haue bene I can tell: that all the Gold they gaue me was so liquide: that I could poure it into myne ey, & see never an whit the worse. All forraine townes of my stay yea Popish, wold in my faith geven content to dye with them. The highest slauunder that ever could bee in the world was this: that I should forge a Iewes letter se∣king Ebrew Gospel from vs. They had triumphed: that Christ, & Prin∣ces

wold not presently kill such an Athean vilain. The false accuser by Moyses must bee in place: & after conviction the iudges: not geving right. But iudges are not to take no∣tion of the Party without accusa∣tion & profe. The libeller hath hinde∣red now fiften yeres advātage to haue cleared the Gospell in Ebrew from Albion over all, & hath stird ma∣ny to rave against Ebrew institutions in steed of thankes: that many say, the Iewes time is not yet come. And some vow their childrē to my course of Ebrew: & requested all my E∣brew

Library that when I am dead, they may mark my hand how I marked Thalmudiques. An hun∣dreth yeres hence this matter may come into spech. And because the libeller must be confuted by the ve∣ry original of the Iewes Epistle, I haue sent your Lordships that: to be kept in the Kings Library for euer: Pasted with an Arabique book: that the few leaues being a lone should not be wasted. I doubt not but your Lordships in an honour gevē to your countrey in so high an argument, will see that the Iewes originall shall bee

kept as any the best recordes. And yf the libeller can be found out, & proved who hee is: I doubt not but your Lordships will wish the Eter∣nall curse of God, vpon the libeller for Athean villany: & not vpon your selfes for countenancing the vnde∣serving in highest degree of badnes.

Your Lordships, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 H. BROVGHTON.
