An Address to the Jews by John Xeres Containing His Reasons for Leaving the Jewish and Embracing the Christian Religion
“These are to certify that upon several discourses had with the aforementioned Jonah Ben Jacob Xeres, I have found him very well acquainted with the Holy Scriptures of the Old Testament, and all other Jewish (particularly the Talmudic) learning; so that he was very ready, upon the chief objections the Jews make to the doctrine, divinity, and office of our Saviour.
But as he is endowed with very good natural and acquired parts, I was the more able to satisfy and convince him of the truth; so that after having examined by Scripture all the most material controversies, he has freely declared to myself, and his other friends his desire to renounce the errors and prejudices of his education in the Jewish religion, and to embrace and profess the Christian faith.
Witness my hand this 30th Day of July, 1709.
Peter Allix, D.D."
