_Moses_ saith in his last song, that God would revenge the bloud of his people who are scattered. And _Ieremiah_ saith, in chap. 2.3. _Israel is the Lords holy thing, the first fruits of his increase; all who devoure him shall be found guilty; evill shall come upon them, saith the Lord._ And that the Histories of divers times, even from _Nebuchadnezzar_ to these very times, doe testifie. Have not the Monarchies of great Princes been destroyed? Consider with me the miserable ends of _Antiochus_, of _Pompey_, of _Sisibuthus_, of _Philip_ the King of _France_, of A_lonsus_ the sonne of _Iohn_ the second. And we may remember, how King _Sebastian_ with his fourth Generation, and with all his Nobles, was slaine in a battell of A_frica_, in that same place, in which he had caused the _Iews_ to be banished. _Ferdinand_, and _Isabel_ were the great Persecutors of our Nation, but how did both he, and she dye? as for him his Son-in-law, and his owne Subjects did persecute him; and his only sonne dyed (leaving no issue) on his Wedding-day, being seventeen yeares old. His daughter being Heire of the Kingdome, and of her Fathers hatred, would not marry to _Emanuel_ King of _Portugal_, unlesse he would compell us to be banished, and change our Religion. But she dyed in Child-birth of her Sonne _Saragoci_, and also her Son, before he was halfe a yeare old; and the succession was devolved upon the Kingdome of _Spaine_. It is not long since, that the _Spaniards_ exercised upon us at _Mantua_, what ever cruelties they could invent; what shall we say of that at _Madrid_ in the yeare 1632, was done by the Inquisition, the King, and Princes of the Kingdome concurring; but in the very same month dyed the Infant _Charles_, and their Kingdome declined. What wonder is it if God hath chastised divers Kingdomes by sundry wayes: but of this I treat farther in my History of the _Iewes_. Let us conclude therefore, that that good, which God hath promised, will shortly come, since we see that we have suffered those evils, which he hath threatned us with, by the Prophets. _SECT. 35._ [Sidenote: 3ly,] The shortnesse of time (when we beleeve our redemption shall appeare) is confirmed by this, that the Lord hath promised that he will gather the two Tribes, _Iudah_, and _Benjamin_, out of the foure quarters of the World, calling them _Nephussim_. From whence you may gather, that for the fulfilling of that, they must be scattered through all the corners of the World; as _Daniel_ saith, _Dan._ 12.7. _And when the scattering of the holy people shall have an end, all those things shall be fulfilled._ And this appeares now to be done, when as our Synagogues are found in _America_. _SECT. 36._ [Sidenote: 4ly,]
