Glad to get this, our third copy (https://archive.org/search?query=creator%3A%22Mortera%2C+Saul+Levi%2C+1596%3F-1660%22) of Saul Levi Mortiera's Tratado de la verdad de la ley dey Moseh...up onto the Internet Archive (link in post above).
Mortiera's work was targeted at his congregation in 17th century Amsterdam, which included many ex-conversos, and focused on God's direct providence for the Jewish people (thus negating a need for an intercessor)
