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,1 when as it was the maner so in the old tyme. For Rome, when longe a go it was taken and burnt of the Senones, the Capitolium, where in was the temple of Iupiter, remayned safe. Yea and Iosephus sayth that when Ierusalem was besieged of Titus, the temple was a strong bulwarke for ye City. But the cause why the Sechemites got them thether, was not onely bycause the place was so well fensed, but also bycause they had a supersticious opinion of Baal: for they thought that he would be with thē, & defend his temple. So foolish men, when they haue in deede no religion in their mynde, yet they put their confidence in holynes of places, and wōderfully trust in images & temples, & also in reliques of saintes. But thereby they are nothing holpen, but to their destructiō they are slayne euen in temples, as we rede it happened now vnto these men.
