A very rare work with no other copies on the market. In it, English theologian Symon Patrick [1626-1707] attempts to use the standard reformation era anti-semitic tropes and interpretations of the Old Testament and Gospels as a way of demonstrating the on-going hypocrisy of English Christians. 

While the effort at reform among those he served is laudable [not Bishop Laudable though], he utilizes the flawed mechanism of the Reformation, wanting to compare the externals of the Catholic church to the externals of the Jewish community of the Old Testament. This was picked up by Luther [who, for all his contributions was rather infamously anti-semitic] and others. Patrick picks up the same theme, but ethically rather than in terms of their over-dependence on the externals. 

The Jewish Institute of Chicago and others include this in their catalogue of anti-semitic propaganda. 

So, simultaneously a rather heart-searching work by one of the most penetrating devotional writers from within the Anglican Church [he was quite friendly, though opposed structurally to the non-conformists], but simultaneously, and in retrospect, quite flawed in its imbibing in the anti-semitic readings of the New Testament prevalent during the Reformation.
