The reafon why theTalmudifls concealed the true names of the Parents of Jefus are evident ; for bÿ this means they more covered their malice, in one refpte , and gave' more blafphemous vent unto it, in another. They concealed it thus far, that every one might not pettedly underhand whom they intended , milers he were a Difciple of their own. And they gave it vent in the reflection they cuit upon the Evangelical Story, as though it had not given us the true names of the Parents of ye*. . And moreover, they gave thenafelves liberty by this means to coyn 'new Iyes at their pleafure, for they may fay what they would of their Pandira and Start,: though all the world knew it tobe falfe as to Jofeph and Mary. tinIT9, Pandira is a feigned name,infignificant,and invented by them for this onlypurppfe.They fometimes write it withn to themfdit inffead of i to`I+rog, Panthira : fo thatGalatinur doth pettedly contradict himfelf in this matter : for whereas lib. a. cap. 7. he contends that by Jefes theSon of Pandira mentioned in the Talmud, the Lord Jefus is not in- tended,,lib. 8. cap. 5. he afretts, that Jefus the Son ofPanthira, in wholename James the Juft healed the lick andwrought Miracles, was the Lord Yeller ; as indeed 'it was he, whom they intend alto in that Rory about James.
