By consequence, the accusation of _Buxtorphius_, in his _Bibliotheca Rabbinorum_, can have no appearance of truth, concerning that which he puts upon us, _viz._ that we are _blasphemers_. I will set down the Prayer it self. “We are bound to praise the Lord of all things; to magnifie him, who made the world, for that he hath not made us, as the Nations of the earth; nor hath he placed us as the families of the earth; nor hath he made our condition like unto theirs, nor our lot, according to all their multitude. For they humble themselves to things of no worth, and vanity, and make their prayers to gods that cannot save them; but we worship before the King of kings, that is holy, and blessed; that stretched forth the Heavens, and framed the Earth; the seat of his glory is in heaven above, and his divine strength in the highest of the Heavens; He is our God, and there is no other; He is truly, our King, and besides him, there is no other; as it is written in the Law. And know this day, and return into thine own heart, because the Lord is God, in Heaven above, and upon the Earth beneath, there is no other.” Truly, in my opinion, it is a very short, and most excellent prayer, and worthy of commendation. The _Sultan Selim_, that famous conquerour, and Emperour of the _Mahumetans_, made so much account of it, that he commanded his Doctor _Moses Amon_, (who translated the _Pentateuch_ into the _Arabian_ and _Persian_ languages) that he should translate our prayers. And when he had delivered them to him in the _Turkish_ Tongue, he said to him, what need is there of so long prayers? truly this one might suffice, he did so highly esteem and value it. This is like an other prayer which was made at that time, _viz._ “Blessed be our God, who created us for his honour, and separated us from those that are in errours, and gave unto us a Law of truth, and planted amongst us eternall life. Let him open our hearts in his law, and put his love in our hearts, and his fear, to do his will, and to serve him with a perfect heart, that we may not labour in vain, nor beget children of perdition. Let it be thy will, O Lord our God, and God of our Fathers, that we may keep thy statutes, and thy laws in this world, and may deserve, and live, and inherit well, and that we may attain the blessing of the world to come, that so we may sing to thy honour, without ceasing. O Lord my God, I will praise thee for ever.” But neither the one, nor the other is a _blasphemy_, or malediction against any other Gods, for these reasons following.
