Julian of all other began most politicly and subtly, and therefore most mightily to set up Jericho. He gave commandment that no Christian mans child should go to school, devising thereby to keep them rude and barbarous, that no Christian should bear office, or live in any manner authority, thereby to make them vile: that they should never be Captains or soldiers, that so they might be kept in weakness, he removed the Christians out of his court. He opened again the temple of the Heathen, & did erect Idols in them, and the more to give credit and countenance to the matter, he himself being the Emperor, took upon him the office of a Bishop, and did offer sacrifice: many of the nobles, & many of the people, applied themselves to follow this example, and did the like. He licensed the Jews to return home again, & to build up Jerusalem, he allowed them money, ⟨image 22⟩he gave them liberties, and all this only in the despite of Christ: only to discredit and deface the glory of the Son of God. Hereby the Heretics upbraided and defied Christ: the faithful were dismayed, and the church of GOD was brought to great confusion.
