And when the Jews saw about the gate the dust that the elephants made in there coming out and the host that followed in harness, and of the dust of the peoples feet, and heard the horrible noise, thinking it to be the last moment of there life, and the end of ⟨image 139⟩1there misery that they looked for, turning them selves to mourning, each embraced & ayssed an other, and toke there kinsfolk about there necks the father the sons, and the mothers the daughters, and some put the infants to there breasts to suck there last. And remembering of the help that they had before from heaven, with one consent, they fell flat to the ground, taking there children from there paps, And with one voice cried aloud, making there prayers to almighty God, that he would come and help them that were now come to deaths door.
