In the dust of this confusion here they dwell, loving this darkness more than light, because their deeds are evil. Having for many generations entertained a prejudicate imagination, that these traditional Figments, amongst which their crafty Masters have inserted many filthy and blasphemous Fables against our Lord Christ, and his Gospel, are of Divine Authority, and having utterly lost the spiritual sense of the written Word, they are by it sealed up in blindness and obdurateness, and shall be so, until the veil be taken away, when the appointed time of their deliverance shall come. A brief discovery of the falseness of this fancy of their Oral Law, which is the foundation of all that huge building of Lies and Vanities that their Talmuds are composed of, shall put an end to this Discourse.
