CHAP. XVI. That the Jews entring upon another War against the Christians, were punished.

SOme time after this, the Jews renued their absurd and impious practises against the Christians, and were punished [again for them.] At a place named Inmestar, which is scituate be∣tween Chalcis and Antioch of Syria, the Jews (as 'twas their usage) exhibited some sports. Du∣ring their sports they performed many mad acti∣ons, excited thereto by their drunkenness; and in their recreations reproach't not only the Chri∣stians, but even Christ himself. And in derision to the Cross, and to them who put their trust in him that was crucified, they attempted this villanous fact. Having seized a Christian boy, they bound him to a Cross, and hung him up. At first they laughed at and jeered him. But becoming afterwards inraged, they scourged the boy till he died. For this reason there hapned a sharp conflict betwixt them and the Christians. And after the Emperours were acquainted with this fact, an Order was issued out to the Gover∣nours of the Province, to find out and punish the Authours thereof. Thus the Jews, who in∣habited that place, were punished for the wicked∣ness they had committed in their sports.
