Among the Christian friends of Manasseh, the following distinguished persons may be named: Edward Nicholas, the author of _An Apology for the Honorable Nation of the Jews_, 1648 (Appendix xviii); the above-mentioned John Sadler, who petitioned Richard Cromwell (1626‒1712) for a pension for Manasseh’s widow; Hugh Peters (1598‒1660), one of Oliver Cromwell’s army chaplains, and a strong advocate for the unrestricted admission of the Jews (Appendix xix), Isaac Vossius, the scholarly Protestant ecclesiastic, with whom he was in correspondence.¹ Vossius, at one time a member of the Court of Queen Christina of Sweden, was instrumental in bringing Manasseh to her notice.² Dr. Nathanael Homes (1599‒1678), the famous Puritan divine and author,³ and the great painter Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Ryn (1606(7)‒1669). The most notable of his Jewish friends were, Isaac _da_ Fonseca Aboab (1605‒1693) (Appendix xx), _Haham_ of the _Sephardi_ community at Amsterdam, on whose initiative the Great Synagogue there was erected.

In anticipation of his visit to England, to exhibit the models before Charles II. (1630‒1685) and his Court, he published in Amsterdam a pamphlet in English describing them (Appendix xxii): and _H. H. R._ Yahacob Sasportas (1610‒1698), who accompanied Manasseh to England in 1655, was appointed in the month of _Nisan_, 1664, _Haham_ of the _Sephardi_ community in London.
