_I Desire to be acquainted with you, because we have both fallen upon one Booke, with the same intentions to convert the_ Jewes, _though we take not one way; I desire therefore to conferre with you, to see who taketh the rightest way. You by your Translation seeme to me to prize the learned_ Jewes _writing too much, which will beget pride, and not humility in him, without which he will not turne, repent, and be saved. Therefore for his good, and also for the Christians, and for the credit of us who are Parliamentarians, I would not see them too much yeelded unto. You justly perstringe him in his thirtieth Section, wherein he talkes so wildly of his goodly Martyrs, and truly if you marke him in his Discourse upon the Sabatticall River, which where it is he knownes not, you will finde him as faulty and dangerous, if we have any of the race of the_ Thraskytes _left among us; but Sir, in that you thinke that the_ Jewes _shall now be called as a Nation, and not only by particulars, and would have them have an earthly Kingdome againe; you doe more for the ten Tribes then he would have himselfe_, Sect. 25. p. 79. 80. _and for the other two, of_ Judah, and Benjamin, _it is not so likely they should have a second Call, seeing that Christ and his Apostles preached to them, and all that were of the Election were then converted, as you may see by many texts, and after their rejection of the Gospell, their Country-men_, Paul, _and_ Peter _turned to the Gentiles.

First, the Jew was called, and then the Gentile. But now looke not for it, but for their single conversions, though numbers may be called upon one day, one Sermon as they were heretofore; but they must not exalt themselves as a Nation, for they must be ingrafted againe upon that branch, or Vine, Christ Jesus, and we must have one Shepheard, and be one flock._ _See_ Rom. 11. ver. 31. _which you cite_. Through your mercy they may also obtain mercy; _I had writ it_ (shall) _but it is only_ (may:) _see the place to which this relates_, Isa. 59. v. 19, 20, 21. _where you shall finde that all their hope is in eternalls, not in temporalls_; _and looke upon_ Rom. 11.24. _concerning the engrafting, and clearly, (unlesse you be a Millenarian) you will finde no such Nationall glory of the_ Jewes; _therefore I pray you take heed you fall not into the same snare wherein the_ Jewes _are, to looke for a temporall reigne, which you seeme to intimate, and too many were, and are of that opinion. Assure your selfe that Christ will come to such as a theife in the night, though his comming will be very glorious, yet it will be suddaine; the learned_ Jew _can finde no text
