The strength of God therefore returned again, wherewith he bending the pillars of the Theatre, was himself slain with the fall of the palace, and at his death slue many mo than he had killed in all his life time before.

When the time was expired therefore, which the Nazarite had taken upon him for to observe, he came to the tabernacle of the Lord, and offered the sacrifices that are prescribed in the Law: whereby he testified that he was a sinner, and plainly confessed that all goodness and virtue, that was to be found in him, was given and bestowed from God above. And therefore he polled his head, and caste his hair into the fire, wherein the peace offering was a burning. At last when all this was in this manner accomplished, it was lawful for the Nazarite, as one loosed of his bonds, to return unto his old life again. Thus much hitherto touching the discipline of the Nazarites.
