We read in stories, that in the days of the Emperor Adrian, the Jews gathered themselves together out of all cities a wonderful number of men, all the Jews which could be gotten, to the intent that they might get Jerusalem again,1 which Jerusalem was at that time in the Emperors hands: and therefore they made great preparations to have it again, but what doth the Emperor, he gathered together a great and strong host and made against […], and in the end scattered them: so that they were without any hope afterward to recover that city again: after which things, the Emperor made a proclamation that not one Jew should come into the city neither to bye or to sell: yea and further more, to the intent that they should be without any hope of recovery, he changed the name of the city, and called it […]. So that by the story it most manifestly appeareth that the word of GOD can not be falsified by any power or cunning: for though they had a strong and mighty host: yet for all that God which is the ruler of all things confounded them, so that they could bring nothing to pass after their minds, as they would have it: but rather were banished further from the city: for they were in worse case after this fighting, then they had been before, for they had an access unto the city before, which liberty afterward they lost.
