Padre Ottomano, Mahomed Bei and Sabatai Sevi the one, pretended son and heir to the late Grand Signior, the other, a prince of the Ottoman family, but in truth, a Valachian counterfeit, and the last, the suppos'd Messiah of the Jews, in the year of the true Messiah, 1666 : with a brief account of the ground and occasion of the present war between the Turk and the Venetian : together with the cause of the final extirpation, destruction and exile of the Jews out of the Empire of Persia.

     summary: And as they indeavour'd to purge their Consciences of Sin , and to apply themselves to good VVorkes , that the Messiah might find the City prepared for his Reception ; so , least he should accuse them of any omission in the Law , and particularly in their neglect of that Antient Precept of , Increase and Multiply ; they marryed together Children of ten yeares of age , and some under , without respect to Riches , or Poverty , Condition or Quality : But , being promiscuously joyned , to the number of 6 or 700 ●ouple , upon better and cooler thoughts , after the deceipt of the false M●ssiah was discover'd , or the expectation of his Coming grew cold , were Divorced , or by Consent separated from each other . Greatly pleas●d with their success , they set Saile immediately for Malta , where the hopes of their fancied Prize had so far exalted them , that they soon noys'd it over all Christendome , that they had taken the Grand Signiors Son , and the Sultana his Mother , with many like stories which pass'd about the VVorld for current , and it gain'd credit , and was indeed generally believ'd by themselves : Nay , the whole Colledge , and Religion of Malta were so elated and possess'd with the conceit of it , that they began seriously to consult of proposing an Exchange for Rhodes , which had been their antient Seat , and which they almost made themselves as good as sure of .
