Dr. M‘Caul goes on to say――“Wagenseil gravely undertakes to disprove
most of these charges; but it is to be hoped that the mere mention of
them together is sufficient to show their falsehood. It is rather too
bad to reproach the Jews, on the one hand, with unbelief, hatred, and
contempt for Christians, and then to charge them with such faith in the
wonder-working and soul-saving power of Christian blood, that to obtain
it they expose themselves to the fury of their enemies. The enormous
lying, profound ignorance of Judaism and the Jews, as well as the
degrading superstition involved in some of these charges, throws
discredit upon all. The mere recital of these follies shows that they
are the offspring of an unbelieving imagination, if not the invention
of a malignant heart.”――_Reason, &c._, pp. 23, 24.
