3. That they did not returne to the second Temple. 4. That at this day they keep the _Jewish_ Religion. 5. That the prophecies concerning their returne to their Country, are of necessity to be fulfilled. 6. That from all coasts of the World they shall meet in those two places, _sc._ _Assyria_, and _Ægypt_; God preparing an easie, pleasant way, and abounding with all things, as _Isaiah_ saith, ch. 49. and from thence they shall flie to _Jerusalem_, as birds to their nests. 7. That their Kingdome shall be no more divided; but the twelve Tribes shall be joyned together under one Prince, that is under _Messiah_ the Son of _David_; and that they shall never be driven out of their Land. _SECT. 38._ I returne to the relation of our _Montezinus_, which I prefer before the opinions of all others as most true for that _Peru_ should be derived from the name _Ophir_, as _Gulielmus Postellus_, _Goropius in Ortelius_, _Bozius de signis Eccles._ _lib._ 2. _c._ 3. _Marinus in arca Noah_, _P. Sa. in 3. Reg. Pomarius_ in his _Lexicon_, and _Possevinus_ _lib._ 2. _Biblith._ _c._ 8. do think, cannot be proved; as _Pineda_ hath wel observed, in _Job_, _c._ 28. _p._ 500. for we have said out of _Garcilasso de la Vega_, that that name was unknown to them of _Peru_. _Ophir_ then is _East-India_, if we beleeve _Josephus_, _lib._ 8. _Antiquit. Judaic._ _c._ 6. & _Acosta in lib. 1. Histor. Ind._ from whence _Solomon_ fetched gold, and precious stones. But what _Gomara in part 1. hist. Ind._ _fol._ 120. and _Zarate in proæm. hist. Peru_, would have, that ours did passe over that famous, and much praised Island (by _Plato_ in _Critia_, and _Timæus_) of _Atlantis_, and so went into the neighbour Islands of _Barlovent_, and from thence to the firm land, and at last to the Kingdom of _Peru_, and _New-Spain_; it is deservedly exploded as fabulous; and _Acosta_ laughs at it, _in lib. 1. hist. Ind. c._ 22. But _Marcilius Ficinus in comment. in Timeum, c._ 4. & _Critia_, that he might defend _Plato_, thinkes (and his Disciples, _Porphiry_, _Origen_, and _Proclus_ doe follow him) that all that which is in _Critia_, and in _Timæus_, is to be understood allegorically. And who will beleeve _Lescarbotus_, who saith that they are the _Canaanites_, who fled thither for feare of _Joshua_? For I cannot be perswaded that they sought out Countries so far remote. They who will have them of _Peru_ to have come out of _Norwey_, or _Spain_, may be confuted by their very form, manners and the unlikenesse of their Languages. But that is more false, that they are _Israelites_, who have forgot circumcision, and their rites. For they are of a comly body, and of a good wit, as saith Doct. _Johannes Huarte_, in his book which is called, _Examen ingenior._ _c._ 14. But contrarily all men know that the _Indians_ are deformed, dul, and altogether rude. And we have abundantly shown, with how great study, and zeal, the _Israelites_ have kept their
