A bosom opened TO THE Jews: Holding forth to others Some Reasons for our receiving of them into our Nation.  
TO me the receiving of them is acceptable, and my spirit embraces them with gladness, for they are to me beloved for the father's sakes, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Joshua, Samuel, David, Daniel, and all the worthies, and righteous men, and Prophets of the Lord, which have sprung up among them; whose breasts, some of them, we suck to this day; and who stand as worthy ensamples to us, upon whom the ends of the world are come: of whom also our Lord came, that hath brought life and immortality to light to us Gentiles; who hath taken down the partition wall, that was between the Jews and us Gentiles, so to take away the enmity, and of twain to make one. Though they yet see not this, yet my heart is enlarged towards them to place them in its love; and not mine only, but many others.  
Again, We look that they shall come in and believe, and that the time of their restoring is very nigh: Why should we not then desire to have them with us, that when God opens their eyes to see him whom they have pierced, they and we may rejoice together, after the mourning, Zech. 12.  
Again, Why should we not be desirous of their coming in (if there be any love in us towards them) that so if it be possible we may become instruments of their Conversion; holding forth before them a Heavenly conversation to convince them; and that they may come to see that Christ Jesus hath followers that are innocent and blameless in the world; for this Nation doth afford such. And so that great stumbling block of the wickedness of the lives of seeming Christians, who have got the name; and that other great stumbling block of the superstition and Idolatry of their worships, may be taken out of their way: for God hath among us such as bear testimony against both these.  
Again, They are to obtain mercy thorough our mercy, Rom. 11. 31. If then our mercy be shut up against them, how shall they obtain mercy thorough ours? what manner of spirit is this, that shuts them out from mercy, or hardens their hearts, by shutting up their own bowels of mercy against them, thorough which their mercy is to spring: as on the contrary, our mercy sprang up to us thorough their unbelief, Rom. 11. 30. How unthankful, how unkind is such a spirit.  
Again, It's said, Rom. 11. 12. If their fall be the riches of the world, and their diminishing be the riches of the Gentiles, how much more their fullness; now we looking for this, why should we not desire the furtherance of their conversion, even for our own sakes.  
Again, It is agreeable to the Spirit and precepts of Jesus Christ, to give to him that asks, and not to be forgetful to entertain strangers: Now why should we not put in practice these precepts towards the Jews, seeing they are strangers, scattered in the Earth, and peaceably ask and entreat for a habitation among us: except we can show reason why they are to be excluded in this case, and not comprehended in those precepts.  
Again, lastly, The Jews being scattered from their Country, and lying under the severity of the Lord; this is a time for us to show mercy, and not to help forward the affliction, Zech. 1. 15.  
These things I am moved to publish, as out of love to the Nation of the Jews; so also out of love to my own Country, which I would not have to be found a rejecter of them being strangers in the time of their calamity, they seeking to come in and live peaceably among us. But chiefly, that they may not return and say, They have prayed for us but they will not receive us; and so the name of Christ be blasphemed and evil reported of by them. Let that lying-prayer lie upon the heads of those only, in whom all other lying-prayers are found; that the name of Christ may not be blasphemed with it abroad; as it is with all the rest of their abominations: For there are many in this Nation whose bowels are as well enlarged to receive them, as they have been to pray for them.
