Verse 2. There shall not be left one stone, &c.]

There's no trust∣ing therefore to Forts and strong-holds, no though they be muni∣tions of rocks; as Esay speaketh; The Jebusites, that jeared David and his forces, were thrown out of their Sion. Babylon, that bore her selfe bold upon her twenty yeers provision laid in for a siege, and upon her high Towers and thick walls, was surprised by Cyrus.

So was this goodly Temple by 〈◊〉〈◊〉, who left onely three tow∣ers of this stately edifice unrazed, to declare unto posterity the strength of the place, and valour of the vanquisher. But, sixty five years after, AElius 〈◊〉〈◊〉 inflicting on the rebelling Jewes a wonderfull flaughter, subverted those remainders, and sprinkled salt upon the foundation.
