The old apology for the truth of the Christian religion against the Jews and Gentiles revived: Wherein is shewn Against the Jews, that Christ is the Prophet like Moses, doing all those Signs, Wonders and Judgments before and upon the Emperors and Empire of Rome, which Moses wrought upon Pharaoh and Egypt, untill the Heathen Emperors and the Gentiles, like Pharaoh and the Egyptians, were drown'd and overwhelm'd in the Red Sea. And Against the Gentiles, that God in Christ Jesus did manifest his Divine Authority to the Emperors and the Gentiles in the best and properest manner that can be imagined; and that they were very inexcusable for Persecuting the Church, and no sooner departing from Idolatry to the Worship of him.
