<P>I mentioned R. H. in a commentarie vpon the Apocalyps a libeller in the depth of Athei&s;me, who libelled that the Iewes Epi&s;tle, which &s;ome of your Lord&s;hips &s;aw &s;ent from Byzantian Rome, or Con|&s;tantinus towne, to London, &amp; bade &s;end it thence for Ba&s;il to me: He libelled that I feigned the matter. Here vpon I haue complayned to God &amp; the world in many the hi|ghe&s;t degrees. The very Iew pray&s;ed God, that from the endes of the Earth hee heard the pray&s;es of the
<PB REF="3"> Eternall&punc;, &amp; &s;ayd: from E&s;ay hee loked to heare that, from the endes of the earth. How honorable &amp; how thankfull Engli&s;h haue bene I can tell: that all the Gold they gaue me was &s;o liquide: that I could poure it into myne ey, &amp; &s;ee never an whit the wor&s;e. All forraine townes of my &s;tay yea Popi&s;h, wold in my faith geven content to dye with them. The highe&s;t &s;lauunder that ever could bee in the world was this: that I &s;hould forge a Iewes letter &s;e|king Ebrew Go&s;pel from vs. They had triumphed: that Chri&s;t, &amp; Prin|ces
<PB REF="3"> wold not pre&s;ently kill &s;uch an Athean vilain. The fal&s;e accu&s;er by Moy&s;es mu&s;t bee in place: &amp; after conviction the iudges: not geving right. But iudges are not to take no|tion of the Party without accu&s;a|tion &amp; profe. The libeller hath hinde|red now fiften yeres adva~tage to haue cleared the Go&s;pell in Ebrew from Albion over all, &amp; hath &s;tird ma|ny to rave again&s;t Ebrew in&s;titutions in &s;teed of thankes: that many &s;ay, the Iewes time is not yet come. And &s;ome vow their childre~ to my cour&s;e of Ebrew: &amp; reque&s;ted all my E|brew
<PB REF="4"> Library that when I am dead, they may mark my hand how I marked Thalmudiques. An hun|dreth yeres hence this matter may come into &s;pech. And becau&s;e the libeller mu&s;t be confuted by the ve|ry original of the Iewes Epi&s;tle, I haue &s;ent your Lord&s;hips that: to be kept in the Kings Library for euer: Pa&s;ted with an Arabique book: that the few leaues being a lone &s;hould not be wa&s;ted. I doubt not but your Lord&s;hips in an honour geve~ to your countrey in &s;o high an argument, will &s;ee that the Iewes originall &s;hall bee
<PB REF="4"> kept as any the be&s;t recordes. And yf the libeller can be found out, &amp; proved who hee is: I doubt not but your Lord&s;hips will wi&s;h the Eter|nall cur&s;e of God, vpon the libeller for Athean villany: &amp; not vpon your &s;elfes for countenancing the vnde|&s;erving in highe&s;t degree of badnes.</P>
