That the Rise of this war was upon the twofold cause mentioned, namely their desire to retain their former worship, and to destroy the Christian is evident. For the first it is expressed by Diocas•ius. Hist. Rom. lib. 69. in vita Had. [Greek or Hebrew] ⟨p. 229⟩[Greek or Hebrew]. It was the defiling of the soil whereon the temple stood, which God suffered on set purpose, to manifest their utter rejection, and that the time was come wherein he would be no more worshipped in that place in the old manner, that put them in arms, as that Author declares at large.
