Such vain hope had the Jews in old times, to recover their Religion, and Ceremonies, and utterly to overthrow the Gospel of Christ. They conspired together, got Masons, and Carpenters, and began to caste the foundation, to repair their Temple. 1Immediately the Emperor Constantine raised a power, and set upon them, and put them to the sword, as Rebels, and Traitors. Others, that he spared alive, he made slaves, and cut of some their tongues, some their hands, some their cares, some their noses: some he burnt in the face: and so sent them abroad, for an example, from Town to Town throughout the World.

Afterward,1 when the wicked Emperor Julian, in despite of Christ, had given the Jews leave to build, and repair, as is said before, and, the Princes power assisting them, no power seemed able to withstand their purpose, then God him self from Heaven above encountered with them. Earthquakes brake out, and overthrew their buildings. Lightnings fell down, and burnt both the tools in their hands, and the coats on their backs. Then was the Gospel of Christ more beautiful, and more glorious, then ever it had been before.
