ABSTRACT

In the Year 1649. Mr. Downam gave his Conjecture to that purpose, in his Appendix to New-English Letters then printed. And Mr. Thorowgood was so far satisfied in his Opinion about it, that he published a Treatise in the Year 1650 entituled Jews in America. If America be laid out as a Rendezvous for Gog and Magog, this must needs tend to supersede all Desire and Endeavour for their Recovery. New-Jerusalem will not straiten, and enfeeble; but wonderfully dilate, and invigorate Christianity in the several Quarters of the World; in Asia, in Africa, in Europe, and in America. Some judicious and learned Divines have conjectured that America is prophesied of in the thirty seventh of Ezekiel, under the denomination of a Valley. Christopher Columbus had opened the way, the Spaniards planted themselves in the spatious Regions of America; and, too much, planted Antichristianisme in the room of Heathenisme.
