The Secretary together with the _Reubenite_, endevoured to draw the Pope, _Charles_ the fifth, and _Francis_ the first to Judaism. _Selomoh Molho_ was taken at _Mantua_, and burnt alive, in the yeare 1540. He yet was offered his life, if he would turne Christian. The _Reubenite_ was by _Charles_ the fifth carried prisoner into _Spaine_, where he shortly after dyed. _Abraham Frisol Orchotolam_ remembers the _Reubenite_, saying, Forty five years agone _David Reubenita_, a Prince of the _Israelites_, came from _Tabor_, a Province of _Tartary_, into _Europe_, who said that two Tribes are there; and other Tribes a little farther, under their Kings, and Princes, and also an unspeakable number of people. Perhaps the Province _Tabor_ is the same that _Habor_; which is mentioned in 2 King. 17.6. that the ten Tribes were brought by _Salmaneser_ to _Habor_, and _Halah_; now the Hebrew letters (_h_) and (_t_) are neere in fashion. _Eldad Danita_ of the Tribe of _Dan_, came out of those Countries five hundred yeares agone (a letter from whom, which we call _Sephar Eldad Danita_, is kept to this day) and being examined by the Rabbins, was found an approved man. The learned Rabbi _David Kimhi_, who lived 450. yeares since, in _etymol. suo_ in the word _Segiah_, he saith, _Rabbi Jonah_ writes of the name of _Rabbi Juda Aben Karis_, that he heard _Eldad Danita_ say, &c. And so what I said is true, as appeares by the testimonies produced. _SECT. 18._ Part of the ten Tribes also live in _Ethiopia_, in the _Habyssin_ Kingdome; as divers _Habyssins_ reported at _Rome_. _Boterus_ in his relations speakes the same thing, that two potent Nations doe live neare _Nilus_, and that one of them is that of the _Israelites_, who are governed by a mighty King. A Cosmographer who hath added notes to _Ptolomyes_ tables, saith thus in his table of _New Africa_; that part of _New Africk_ was unknowne of old, the head of _Nilus_ not being knowne, which is in the Mountaines of the Moone, as the Ancients call them; where there dwels a great number of _Israelites_, paying tribute to _Prester John_. _Rabbi Abraham Frisol_ in the Book already quoted, saith, that in his time some who had been in those Countries, reported the same to _Hercules_ the Duke of _Ferraria_. And without question from hence the _Habyssins_ learned Circumcision, the observation of the Sabbath, and many more _Jewish_ rites. Of these _Isaiah_ seemes to speake, in _Isa._ 18.1, 2. _Woe to the Land which under the shadow of sails doth saile beyond the rivers of_ Ethiopia, _by whom_ (the Prophet saith) _are sent Ambassadors in ships of Bulrushes_, (such as the _Æthiopians_ use, commonly called _Almadiæ_.) _Bring back a people driven out of their Country, and torn, and more miserable then any among us. Gifts shal be brought to the Lord of Sebaoth, in the place where the name of the Lord of Sebaoth is worshipped, in the mount Sion._ The
