[ XXXI] Distractions will prove Destructions.
BEfore the destruction of the holy City and the Temple,* 1.1Iosephus wirteth of a
man troubled in minde, that ran about the City, crying, Wo to the City, Wo to
the Temple, Wo to the Priests, Wo to the People; and last of all, Wo to myself: at which
words, he was slain on the Walls by a stone out of a sling. Let us take away but
one letter,* 1.2 turning WO into O, and his prophecy may prove our admonition: O
that the World, O that this Nation in the World, O that this great City of the Nation, O
that both City and Country would yet be wise, and lay it to their hearts, that our distractions
will prove our destructions; That a Kingdome divided within it self cannot long stand.
