D., late Master of Katherine Hall in Cambridge such as were, and such as never before were printed : in two volumes : with the authors life and large and useful tables to each volume : also three maps : one of the temple drawn by the author himself, the others of Jervsalem and the Holy Land drawn according to the author's chorography, with a description collected out of his writings.

§. 6. Agrippa in a perplexity, and inlarged.

Agrippa was partaker of the common joy, but withal of some mixture of misery, for such variety of fortune had he tasted ever, and now must he have a farewel to such vicis∣situdes. Marsyas his freeman hearing the rumour in the City, runneth with all speed to certifie his Master; and finding him with some company in the ways toward the Bath, he beckneth to him with this speech in the Hebrew Tongue, The Lion is dead. With which tydings Agrippa was so transported with joy, that the Centurion his Keeper perceived it, and inquiring the reason, and being told it by Agrippa, he rejoyced with him for the news, and looseth him from his Bonds. But as they were at Supper, there cometh a con∣trary report that Tiberius was alive, and would ere long be in the City. What now think you is become of the heart and mettle of Agrippa and his Centurion? Both had done enough by this their present joy, to procure their endless sorrow, and his Keeper the worse of the two; but Agrippa must smart for all for the present. He therefore casts him into irons again, and committeth him to a surer Guard than before: And thus, as his too much eagerness of Tiberius his death had imprisoned him before, even so doth it now: but the next morning puts him into life again, for the rumor of the old Emperours death, is confirmed by Letters from the new; and a special Warrant cometh from him for the inlarging of Agrippa out of Prison, to the house where he had used to live before.
