Excerpt from Reasons for Believing That the Charge Lately Revived Against the Jewish People Is a Baseless Falsehood
Ever since the period of the Reformation the condition of the Jews has been gradually improving. The light of God's Word has tended to the dissipation of prejudice, and the diffusion of its principles of justice has delivered the Jewish people from those absurd and calumnious accusations which were once so common. The mercy, which Protestants have learned in the New Testament, has put an end to the use of the rack and the wheel, and extinguished the flames in which formerly so many Israelites perished; whilst at the same time a sober and enlightened interpretation of the prophecies has procured for them that respect as a people which was justly due to their genius, their learning, and their place amongst the nations of the earth. A remnant of the old superstition, however, has again revived the most foul and most pernicious calumny with which they have ever been vexed, and rekindled the spirit of persecution.
