I. INTRODUCTION.

Page 5 to 30.

The state of the Jews in general should claim our most affec-

tiqnate interest, 5. Their history has been a chain of marvels,

6-8; and their position is full of wonders still, 9. Especially

inasmuch as the New Testament positively asserts that they

are to be converted and restored, 10-13; the very soil of

Palestine belongs to them, 13. The Bible fixes a time for

their regeneration, and specifies Britons as the chief instruments,

14-19. Our modern mode of evangelizing the Jews, is

just and scriptural, 20-21. It is a gross and palpable libel

to say they cannot be converted, 23. There have been many

converts, 24; tho' Popery has been a hindrance, 25. There

is much hopefulness in Israel's case, 26-7; and many spe-

cimens might be given of decisive arguments from the Old

Testament, to warrant the Jews in conscientiously embracing

Christianity, 289. Our efforts having already had striking

success, we may hail any act of our complex Legislature which

can fairly lend force to our witness to the Jews, 30.

II. STATE OF PARTIES, WITH REFERENCE TO THE ADMISSION OF

JEWS AS LEGISLATORS, AND NECESSITY OF THE CASE,

Election of a Jewish gentleman as a Member of Parliament,

31. The intricacies of the case, 32. State of Parties, 34.

First, we must own that the Church of England is less domi-

nant now than heretofore, 35; tho' this indeed is in order that

the Church may the more be instinct with a Missionary spirit

towards the Jews and others, 37. But now the composition of

Parliament cannot be more totally devoid of uniformity than it

is, 38-39. Nor would Jews, like Romanists, disregard

Oaths, 39- -43. We should remark the bright side of the Jew-

ish character, 41. It is unjust to call them all sordid, 41—2.

And the scriptural principles of the Prayer-book are not so

opposed to Jewish Legislators, as to other public events which

have occurred already, 43-6. While the preponderating

magnitude which the Church, as compared with the strength

of Dissenters and Romanists, does still preserve, notwith-

standing all their assaults, may show us that a few Jews could

do us no real injury, 4660. Recapitulation, 60. It fol-
