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.

S. Gregory saith, 1Tulerunt Dagon, & restituerunt eum in locum suum. Hoc est, in Templo, ubi Arca Dei posita fuerat. Quid est ergo Dagon in locum suum restituere, nisi Idololatriae statū subtly consideratione perquirere? Et quia, quò subtiliùs Idololatriae error aspicitur, eò veriùs condemnatur, subiunctū est, Rursus diluculo surgentes inuenerunt Dagon jacentem super faciem coram Arca Domini: They took the Idol Dagon, and restored him again into his place: that is to say, in the Temple of God, where the Ark of God was placed before. And what is it, to restore again Dagon into his place, but discreetly, and advisedly to examine the state of Idolatry? And, for as much as, the better the Error of Idolatry is seen, the better it is condemned, therefore it followeth further, They rising in the morning, found Dagon lying flat upon his face, before the Ark of the Lord.
