Menasseh ben Israel's Mission to Oliver Cromwell: Being a reprint of the pamphlets published by Menasseh ben Israel to promote the re-admission of the Jews to England, 1649-1656
Manasseh ben Israel
Jews -- Great Britain
Epistle Dedicatory says, _The whole world stands amazed at what the
Parliament hath done_; besides he cordially and openly owns the
Parliament, who as far as I know never did him nor his Nation any
further good then to pray for them; (_though we hope, and pray, that
their favour may extend to realities, towards that people to whom
certainly God hath made many, and great Promises, and shortly will give
answerable performances_:) but many among us who injoy peace under them,
and many other blessings, (too many for an unthankfull Generation) doe
refuse to acknowledge them, doe curse them whom God hath blessed, and
even in their prayers to that God who cannot be deceived, or imposed
upon; doe vent themselves against this present Government, in
expressions so wilde and false, that such Language would be accounted
most unworthy, in our addresse to any considerable person, much more
then to the great God. I shall only adde this, _sc._ Do not think that I
aime by this Translation, to propagate or commend _Iudaisme_ (which its
no wonder if the Author doth so much favour, especially in his thirtieth
Section) no, through Grace I have better learned the truth, as it is in
Jesus, but to give some discovery of what apprehensions, and workings
there are at this day in the hearts of the _Jewes_; and to remove our
sinfull hatred from off that people, whose are the Promises, and who are
beloved for their Fathers sakes; and who of _Jewes_, we shall hear to
be, ere long, reall Christians.
