content: ? wives Jewesses, or at least let the children be circumcised and stay with their fathers? Surely for no ˹other reason than this that Ezra did not want to disgrace the nation by making such proselytes | and sport with the holy ˻Word of God, and make by-ways and side-doors to the sacred edifice of our holy religion, that every one may smuggle himself in and out whatever he pleases, and thus suit every one's way of thinking, as Iben Ezra to Ezra | vi. explains, Hebrew.
Hoping that this may cause our people to change their opinion concerning proselytes, I remain, dear sir,
Most respectfully yours,
Dr. Illowy.
