Stran 297 - Ephraim, he hath mixed himself among the people; Ephraim is a cake not turned. Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth it not: yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, yet he knoweth not.
Stran 379 - Jews publicly, and in their published Book of Prayer, reject the oral law, I deem it my duty to declare that according to the laws and statutes held sacred by the whole House of Israel, any person or persons publicly declaring that he or they reject, and do not believe in the authority of the oral law, cannot be permitted to have any communion with us Israelites in any religious rite, or sacred act.
Stran 40 - But, Lord ! to see the disorder, laughing, sporting, and no attention, but confusion in all their service, more like brutes than people knowing the true God, would make a man forswear ever seeing them more : and indeed I never did see so much, or could have imagined there had been any religion in the whole world so absurdly performed as this.
Stran 239 - The public prints gave the Jews credit for their sensibility in acknowledging my well-intended services: my friends gave me joy of honorary presents, and some even accused me of ingratitude for not making public my thanks for their munificence. I will speak plainly on this point; I do most heartily wish they had flattered me with some token, however small, of which I might have said this is a tribute to my philanthropy...
Stran 73 - This I had never done, but on the contrary fell cheerfully in with the then cautious policy of my friends, and so framed my little books and tracts as to leave it doubtful whether they were written by a Protestant or not. Paul to the Jews became as a Jew, that he might gain the Jews : I, by a false process of reason, thought it allowable to become as an idolater to the idolaters, that I might gain the idolaters.
Stran 87 - ... in the following strain : — " Whereas an act of parliament was made and passed in the twenty-fifth year of his majesty's reign, entitled, An act to permit persons professing the Jewish religion to be naturalized by parliament, and for other purposes therein mentioned ; and whereas occasion has been taken from the said act to raise discontents and disquiets in the minds of his majesty's subjects, be it enacted,
Stran 267 - April, to give notice that the Duke of Cumberland, the Duke of Sussex, and the Duke of Cambridge, intended to assist at a Friday evening service.
Stran 186 - Synagogue...." This singular proselyte was very regular in his Jewish observances in prison. Every morning he was seen with phylacteries between his eyes and opposite to his heart ; every Saturday he held public service in his room with the aid of ten Polish Jews. His Saturday's bread was baked ' more Judaico ' ; he ate Jewish meat ; he drank Jewish wine. On his prison wall were inscribed the ten commandments ; by their side hung a bag containing his Talith and his phylacteries...^ contemporary periodical...
Stran 72 - Christians as li ttle scrupulous of taking the profit of worldly lucre to themselves, as they are of throwing the scandal upon us. We get what we can, and keep what we get, not by any principle of religion, but of convenience; and this principle reigns in as full perfection amongst the saints at Hackney, as amongst the Children of Israel in Bury Street or Duke Place.
Stran 298 - ... Kirk. Under the rules of the synagogue, refusal of office entailed a fine of £40. Isaac declined either to accept or to pay. 'I lament the occasion', he wrote, 'which drives me with so many others out of the pale of your jurisdiction. . . . Do not shut out the general improvement of the age; ... a society has only to make itself respectable in these times to draw to itself the public esteem.
