Howbeit whilst the Romans proceeded after their accustomed manner,1 and now also Valentinian a Prince not evil was murdered, and by a tumult many unworthy things were done, neither did there any token of thankfulness towards Christ appear, or sign of true conversion: through the means of one woman Eudoxia the wife of Valentinian, which her self also suffered many unworthy things in that Tumult, it was brought to pass, that Genserichus king of Vandals, sailed out of Africa with three hundred thousand to Rome, and toke it, and by the space of fourteen whole days, he gathered up the treasures ⟨p. 528⟩brought thither out of all parts in a manner of the world inhabited. Than could the intercession of Leo do nothing, save that the Vandals abstained from killing and burning: which was also a benefit of God not to be contemned. The first king of Westgothes, which brake into Rome was called Alrich, others call him Atalarich: but this king of Vandals is named Genserych, and so Rome an whore is made desolate and naked, spoiled I say, which being enriched with the spoils of all nations was hitherto proud. Howbeit it was not now altogether defaced and burnt: the which was no small benefit, which Christ again showed to Rome for an amendment.
Howebeit whilest the Romanes proceded after their accustomed maner,1 and nowe also Valentinian a Prince not euill was murthered, and by a tumulte many vnworthie thinges were done, nother did there any token of thankefulnes towardes Christ appere, or signe of trewe conuersion: through the meanes of one woman Eudoxia the wife of Valentinian, whyche her selfe also suffered many vnworthie thynges in that Tumulte, it was broughte to passe, that Genserichus kynge of Vandalles, sayled out of Affricke with three hondreth thousande to Rome, and toke it, and by the space of fouretene whole dayes, he gathered vp the treasures ⟨p. 528⟩brought thither out of al partes in a maner of the world inhabited. Than coulde the intercession of Leo doe nothing, saue that the Vandalles absteyned from killyng and burnynge: which was also a benefite of God not to be contemned. The firste king of Westgothes, which brake into Rome was called Alrich, others cal him Atalarich: but this king of Vandalles is named Genserych, and so Rome an whore is made desolate and naked, spoyled I saye, whiche beyng inriched with the spoyles of all nations was hitherto prowde. Howbeit it was not nowe altogether defaced and brent: the whiche was no small benefite, which Christ agayne shewed to Rome for an amendement.
