The reason why the Talmudists concealed the true names of the Parents of Jesus are evident; for by this means they more covered their malice, in one respect, and gave more blasphemous vent unto it, in another. They concealed it thus far, that every one might not perfectly understand whom they intended, unless he were a Disciple of their own. And they gave it v•nt in the reflection they cast upon the Evangelical Story, as though it had not given us the true names of the Parents of Jesus. And moreover, they gave themselves liberty by this means to coin new lies at their pleasure, for they may say what they would of their Pandira and Stada though all the world knew it to be false as to Joseph and Mary. [Greek or Hebrew], Pandira is a feigned name, insignificant, and invented by them for this only purpose. They sometimes write it with [Greek or Hebrew] in the midst instead of [Greek or Hebrew], Panthira: so that Galatinus doth perfectly contradict himself in this matter: for whereas lib. 1. cap. 7. he contends that by Jesus the Son of Pandira mentioned in the Talmud, the Lord Jesus is not intended, lib. 8. cap. 5. he asserts, that Jesus the Son of Panthira, in whose name James the Just healed the sick and wrought Miracles, was the Lord Jesus; as indeed it was he, whom they intend also in that story about James. But now Pandira and Panthira are the same; and so also was he who they term his Son, [Greek or Hebrew], Stada is also a name framed to the same end; and as the learned Buxtorfe supposeth from [Greek or Hebrew], one that went aside, declined, or was an Adulteress. And they feign her to have been a platter of Women's hair, with other monstrous lies at their pleasure; but yet expressly in sundry places confess that her true name was Mary, and as I suppose, from the imputations mentioned, do wilfully confound her with Mary Magdalen, as Mahomet did with Miriam the Sister of Moses. These stories must be searched for in the Talmud Printed at Venice, for they are left out in that printed at Basil. The Exceptions is yet more impertinent that the things which are ascribed unto Jesus the Son of Pandira, can by no means be accommodated unto Jesus Christ.
