mention in 2 _King._ whither the King of _Assyria_ led his captives; and so relates _Benjamin Tudelensis_ in his journall, that part of the ten Tribes dwelt at the bank of that River. But I know not where the River Gozan is. In the year 5394, that is, 15 years agon in the City _Lubin_, two _Polonians_ after they had travelled long, they wrot in Dutch a book of the originiall of the Sabbaticall River, but the Senate commanded it to be burnt at the Mart of Breslaw, by the perswasion of the Jesuites. _Abraham Frisal_ in his Orchot Olam. _c._ 26. will have this river to be in _India_, he saith, _The head of the Sabbaticall river is in the country of Upper India, among the rivers of Ganges_. And a little after, _The Sabbaticall river hath its originall from the other side of Kalikout_ (which lyes far above the bound of _Lamik_, which he placeth beyond the _sinus Barbaricus_) _and it parts the Indians from the Kingdome of the Jewes, which river you may certainly find there_, Though he takes _Gozan_ for _Ganges_, for some nearnesse of writing; yet its not to be doubted that in that place there are many Jewes, witnesse _Johannes de Bairos_ in his Decads. _Eldad Danita_ speaking of the four Tribes: which he placeth at _Gozan_ saith, _The Sabbaticall river is among them_. _Josephus_ saith, that _Titus_ saw the Sabbathion between _Arca_ and _Raphanea_. Which testimony seems the truer, because its not to be thought that _Josephus_ would tel a lie of him, by whom he might be rebuked. I think that ye must look for it not far from the Caspian Sea: and I am not alone in this opinion. What ever it be it appeares that this river is somewhere, and that part of the ten Tribes are hid there; and I may say with _Moses_ in _Deut._ 29.28, 29. _And the Lord cast them out of their Land in anger, and in wrath; Secret things belong to the Lord our God._ For it is not known when they shall return to their Countrey; neither can it perfectly be shewed where they are, God suffering it, as its said in _Deut._ 32.26. _I determined to cast them forth unto the ends of the earth, and to make their remembrance cease from among men._ As if he should say, I wil cast them unto the furthest places of the world that none may remember them; and therefore they are truly in Scripture called _imprisoned_, and _lost_. _SECT._ 21.
