Further, We have that Testimony in this matter, which though in its self, it be of little § 6 or no moment, yet as unto them with whom we have to do, is cogent above all others; and this is their own confession. They acknowledge in the Talmud, that he lived before the desolation of the second Temple, for they tell us, cap. Cheleck, and [Greek or Hebrew]—cap. 2. that he was the Son of Pandira and Stada, and that he lived in the days of the Maccabees, Alexander, Hircanus, and Aristobulus, under whom he was crucified. I confess Galatinus, Reuchlinus, and of late the learned Schiklard with some others do contend ⟨p. 210⟩that it is not Jesus Christ whom they intend in the wicked Story which they tell of that Jesus the Son of Pandira. But the reasons they insist on, are of no cogency to procure the assent of any one, acquainted with their Writings; no though the latter J•ws themselves (ashamed of the prodigious lies of their fore-fathers, and afraid to own their blasphemies, for fear of provoking the Christians against them) do faintly (some of them) deny him to be the person intended. The names of their Parents say they agree not. The Lord Jesus was the reputed Son of Joseph, the true Son of Mary. This Jesus of the Talmud, was the Son of Pandira and Stada. I shall not reply that Damascenus lib. 4. placeth a Panther; and Barpanther, on the Genealogy of Christ, making the latter Grand-father to the blessed Virgin, seeing it is evident that he borrowed that part of his Genealogy from some corrupt Traditions of the Jews.
