The Godly Man's Picture

1. The Jews. They believe not in Christ, 2 Cor. 3. 15. Unto this day the veil is upon their heart: They expect their saeculum futurum, a Messiah yet to come, as their own Talmud reports: they blaspheme Christ, they slight righteousness imputed: They despise the Virgin Mary, calling her in derision Marah, which signifieth bitterness: They vilify the ^*Gospel; they deny the Christian Sabbath; they have the Christians in abomination; they hold it not lawful for a Jew to take physic of a Christian. Schecardus relates of one Bendema a Jew, that being stung with a Serpent, a Christian came to heal him, but he refused his help, and chose rather to die, than to be healed by a Christian: So do the Jews hate Christ, and all that wear his Livery.
