§ 5. II. The Doctrine of the Jews Conversion as inferring a Policy or Monarchy of Jews as such, is a contradiction, and therefore impossible.
Is there any room then for any further dispute of it?
When there are no Jews, there cannot possibly be any Kingdom or Common-wealth of Jews: But were the self-cursed Progeny converted, they would be no Jews immediately in a Religious sense, nor within sixty or eighty years in a natural sense.
1. A Converted Jew joineth himself to the Catholic Church, and knoweth that this is his advancement, above the old separate state of Peculiarity, and knoweth that Moses Law and Policy is ended; and that if he turn to that Law, he falls from Grace, and if he be (Jewishly) Circumcised, Christ shall profit him nothing: Therefore he is no more a Jew in Religion.
