_L'unico figliolo, e primogenito d' dio_, Sabatai Sevi, _il_
Messiah, _e_ Salvatore _d'_ Israel _eletti di_ dio _pace
bessendo che sete fatti degni di veder quel grangiorno della
deliberatione e Salvatione d'_ Israel, _e consummatione delle
parole di_ dio, _promess per li sua Profeti, e padri notri, per
il suo diletto figlio d'_ Israel, _ogni vestra amaritudine si
converta in allegrezza, e li vestri diginguiti facino feste,
per che non piangerete O miei figliole d'_Israel _havendovi
dati_ iddio _la consolatione inenarrabile, festegiate contimpani
e musiche, ringratiando quello chi ha adempito il promesso dalli
secoli, facendo ogni giorno quelle cose che solete fare nelle
callende, e quel giorno dedicato ali' afflictione e mestitia,
convertite lo in giorno giocondo per la mia comparsa, e non
spaventate niente, per che haverete Dominio sopra, le genti, non
solamente di quelle, che si vedodono in terra, ma quelle che
sono in fondi del mare, il tutto pro vestra consolatione &
allegrezza._
Which Translated into _English_, runs thus;
The Onely, and First-borne Son of _God_, _Sabatai Sevi_, the
_Messiah_ and _Saviour_ of _Israel_, to all the Sons of
_Israel_, peace. Since that you are made worthy to see that
great Day of Deliverance, and Salvation unto _Israel_, and
Accomplishment of the Word of God, Promised by his Prophets, and
our forefathers, and by his Beloved Son of _Israel_: let your
bitter sorrowes be turned into Joy, and your Fasts into
festivals, for you shall weep no more, O my sons of _Israel_,
for God having given you this unspeakable Comfort, rejoyce with
_Drums_, _Organs_, and _Musick_, giving thanks to him for
performing his Promise from all Ages; doing that every day,
which is usual for you to do upon the _New-Moons_; and, that Day
Dedicated to affliction and sorrow convert you into a Day of
Mirth for my appearance: and fear you nothing, for you shall
have Dominion over the Nations, and not onely over those who are
on Earth, but over those Creatures also which are in the depth
of the Sea. All which is for your Consolation and Rejoycing.
_Sabatai Sevi._
