§ 11. 11. At the Wars of Vespasian and Titus against the Jews, One Million and One Hundred Thousand were killed, and Seven Hundred Thousand carried into Captivity; and the Christians fore-warned by Christ, got out of the City and escaped. And in Trajan's days a Madness seized on the Infidel Jews, and they rose up and Murdered many score Thousands of the Roman Subjects: And after Barchocheba proclaimed himself the Messiah, Murdered so many more as amounted to an Hundred Thousands: Whereupon Trajan and Adrian in Revenge killed between One and Two Millions of these Rebel Jews, still sparing the Christians. After all this, the Infidel Jews could have but a small number left: All London hath not near a Million. By which it appeareth that the main Body of the Jews preserved, were the Christians, to whom the Cursed part were few.
