4. The very like calumnie fell out concerning the very same Chapter of our Prayer, when _Mulet Zidan_ reigned in _Morocco_. A certain fugitive _Iew_, to shew himself constant in the Mahumetan Religion, and an enemy to his own Nation, accused the _Iewes_ before this king, saying, that they prayed to God for his destruction, when they mention in their prayers all _Zedim_, as though they would have all the Family of _Zidan_ destroyed. They excused themselves with the truth, and affirmed, in praying against _Zedim_, that they prayed onely against _proud men_, (as that word in their Hebrew language properly signifieth) and not against his Majesty. The King admitted of their excuse; but said unto them, that because of the equivocation of the word, they should change it for another. 5. For certain, the _Iewes_ give no occasion, that any Prince, or Magistrate should be offended with them; but contrariwise, as it seems to me, they are bound to love them, to defend, and protect them. For, by their _Law_, and _Talmud_, and the inviolable _custome_ of the dispersed _Iewes_, every where, upon every Sabbath day, and in all yearly solemnities, they have prayers for Kings and Princes, under whose Government the _Iewes_ live, be they Christians, or of other Religions, I say by their _Law_, as _Ieremiah_ ch. 29. commandeth, _viz._ _Seek ye the peace of the city, whither I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray for them, unto the Lord_, &c. By the _Talmud_ ord. 4. Tract. 4. _Abodazara._ cap. 1. _there is a prayer for the peace of the Kingdome_, from _custome_, never intermitted of the _Iewes_. Wheresoever they are on the Sabbath day, and their annuall solemnities, the Minister of the Synagogue before he blesseth the people of the _Iewes_, doth with a loud voice, blesse the Prince of the country under whom they live, that all the _Iewes_ may hear it; and they say Amen. You have seen the Form of the prayer in the book entitled The humble Addresses. 6. In like manner the ancients observe, that whereas God commands in _Numbers_ 29.13. that seventy bullocks should be sacrificed upon the seven dayes of the feast of tabernacles, that this was in respect of the seventy nations (who shall one day come up to _Ierusalem_, year after year, to keep this feast of tabernacles, _Zechar._ 14.16.) for whose conservation they also sacrificed. For they say, that _all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in Abraham, and in his seed, not onely spiritually, and in the knowledge of the one first cause, but also that at this time they shall enjoy temporall, and earthly blessings, by vertue of that promise_. And so in the time of the second temple, they offered up sacrifice for their confederate nations, as may appear by these ensuing instances.
