three ungrudging defences of the Jews were published—Copley’s “Case of
the Jews,” D. L.’s “Israel’s Condition and Cause Pleaded” (a very
feeble reply to Prynne), and Collier’s “Brief Answer.”

Barlow, “Several Miscellaneous and Weighty Cases of Conscience”
(1692), Fifth Treatise. See also p. 1 of the Bookseller’s Preface.
Rev. S. Levy believes (_Trans. Jew. Hist. Soc._, iii. p. 152) that
this opinion was drawn up at the request of Robert Boyle. This is
improbable, as it is clear from the resemblances between Barlow’s
recommendations and the report ultimately drawn up by the Committee of
the Council (_infra_, p. lxxxiv), that the opinion was submitted to
the Whitehall Conference, and Boyle was not a member of that body.
Goodwin, who was President of Magdalen College, is much more likely to
have asked Barlow for the opinion, especially as we know that he was
in favour of “due cautions” (_Jud. Mem._, p. 174).
