not the city severed into three factions, whereof the third part only remained sound and served the Lord, yet so that the same was brought to trial by fire: not the destruction of Jerusalem by the assault of the Gentiles: not the overthrow and subversion of their houses: not the deflowering of their virgins: not the breaking in sunder the veil of the Temple under the figure of the mount Olivet: not the darkened Eclipse of the Sun the same day in the which Christ suffered his passion:1 And there shall be a day (sayeth he,) it is well known to the Lord, neither day nor night, but about the evening time it shall be light: And it shall come to pass in the same day, that the waters of life shall go out from Jerusalem, and the half of them toward the East sea, and half of them towards the uttermost sea, and shall be both in winter and summer. And immediately in the same Chapter, prophesying of our Saviour Jesus Christ hanging upon the Cross: ⟨image 43⟩And that which shall be there above the bridles of the horses shall be called holy unto the Lord, and the pots in the Lords house shall be like the bowls before the Altar. &c.
