That tower of Shechem was a bulwark of the City. Wherefore when the City was taken, the princes distrusting themselves, entered into an other inward hold, where also was a temple: and it was called the house of the covenant of God: for the Israelites forsaking the covenant of the true God coupled themselves ⟨image 177⟩unto strange Gods.
That tower of Sechem was a bulwarke of the Citye. Wherefore when the City was takē, the princes distrusting themselues, entred into an other inward holde, where also was a temple: and it was called the house of the couenaunt of God: for the Israelites forsaking the couenant of the true God coupled themselues ⟨image 177⟩vnto straunge Gods.
And it was told Abimelech. Mount Zalmon was nigh unto that hold, whether Abimelech and his people got them unto: for he had determined to burn that castle and temple which was in it. Neither ought we to marvel, that the temple was so fenced,1 when as it was the manner so in the old time. For Rome, when long a go it was taken and burnt of the Senones, the Capitolium, where in was the temple of Jupiter, remained safe. Yea and Josephus saith that when Jerusalem was besieged of Titus, the temple was a strong bulwark for the City. But the cause why the Sechemites got them thither, was not only because the place was so well fenced, but also because they had a superstitious opinion of Baal: for they thought that he would be with them, & defend his temple. So foolish men, when they have in deed no religion in their mind, yet they put their confidence in holiness of places, and wonderfully trust in images & temples, & also in relics of saints. But thereby they are nothing holpen, but to their destruction they are slain even in temples, as we read it happened now unto these men.
And it was told Abimelech. Mount Zalmon was nighe vnto that hold, whether Abimelech and his people got them vnto: for he had determined to burne that castell and temple whiche was in it. Neither ought we to meruaile, that ye temple was so fensed,
