Recantation of Judah Catarivas . Sir , The following curious document is worthy of a place in your Repository . The writer came from
the ; Holy Land , and , by some means or other , fell into the hands of the Society for the Conversion of the Jews- They taught him their doctrines , and encouraged the world to expect a grand account of their success : but
compunction in the man ' s mind deprived them of the brilliant compliments that might be expected to follow so important a conversion . The reasons which operated in this man ' s mind to attend to the converters in the first instance , and afterwards to return to his
brethren , must be curious ; and perhaps some member of the _ Society for tRe Conversion of the Jews , may , on seeing this paper , be induced to throw some light on the subject . PHILO . London . 29 Elul r 6570 .

With her much fair speech she caused him to yield ; with the flattering of her lips she forced him . He goeth after her straightway , as an ox goeth to the slaughter , or as a fool to the correction of
the stocks ; till a dart strike through his liver ; as a bird hasteth to the snare , and knoweth not that it is for his life /' Thanks to the God of our fa *
tbers , Abraham , Isaac , and Jacob , who snatched me . from the periLous brink on which I stood , and has brought me back , full of repentance for the error I havi committed , ( although escaped from the dreadful sin of apostacy ) and has placed me among ; rny dear brethren , with a faith strengthened by experience , and with a future guard against the vain at * tempts of those Balaams *
May the * Divine Protector o £ Israel pardon the temporary has « tiness of a heart , which , even in the midst of seductive temptation , was never totally estranged from him ; and may my brethren , when they call to mind my sift and error , recollect , at the same time , that I did resist , and that it was of my own accord and suggestion that I returned , repenting , and desirous of becoming agaiii worthy of being numbered among the people of God , and that I am ntow willing to submit , with humble resignation , to whatever penance the doctors and elders of Israel may deem proper ^ I remain , dear and worthy brethren > Yoiir ' s , truly penitent , J .
