punctuall in all his Booke, but whatsoever he citeth, the same Chapter makes against him, and speakes not of temporallity, but of eternity, and the new Jerusalem. I rest, desirous of your friendship_. Octob. 5. 1650. E. S. Postscript. _I Have it from a good hand, that Master_ Jo. Dury _is the Translator of that Booke, and I have some Arguments to beleeve it to be so, because he seemes to be of the same minde in his Epistolicall Discourse before Mr._ Thorowgoods _pious Booke, which I have gained since I wrote this Letter. But truly if it be so, I must move Mr._ Dury _both to amend his Translation from grosse faults, and to make some retractions upon that Epistle, which upon conference I shall most plainely shew him, and in the meane time I desire him, that he will read a Booke of a most reverend and pious man, called_, The Revelation unrevealed; _and thereby I beleeve he will be convinced, and not looke for a fifth generall Monarchy upon earth; for Christ reignes now, and hath so done ever since his Ascension, and so shall to the end of the World, untill he deliver the Kingdome to the Father_. Octob. 25. 1650. _SIR_: _The answer to the Letter._ I Received a Letter directed, _To the Translator of Spes Israelis_, which worke thus corrected, as I here-with present to you, I confesse mine. I left it with a friend to see it printed, my selfe going into the Country; but his occasions called him from the City also, when it should have been reviewed; which is the reason that though there be many _Errata’s_ in the Booke, that they are not gathered up at the end.

Concerning your desire of converting the _Jewes_, it is truly Christian, and a worke that shall not loose its reward. But you say, We disagree about the way, that is very possible, for apprehensions are various, and men must thinke, not as others doe, but as themselves can, taking what is truth to them, to be their guide. But the _quære_ is, Who lights on the best way. For my part, I pretend not to any way to convert them, for I verily thinke that when it shall be done, it will be Gods worke, and not mans; as much as Pauls conversion was wholly of God; which himselfe makes the type, or patterne of the conversion of his Country-men; as Mr. _Mede_ saith upon 1 _Tim._ 1.16. in his _Fragmenta sacra_, which I know not whether they be in print, or no. You say, I prize the learned _Iewes_ writing too much, and that it will beget pride in them (Sir, pardon me, if I doe not recant till I see my errour; but then I shall freely doe it. I confesse, I doe prize the Learned, whether _Iew_, or _Gentile_, for though I am not σοφὸς, yet I am φιλόσοφος and I doe
