Titus commanded Joseph to exhort the seditious to yield which he did in a large Oration but they obstinately refused therefore on the seventh day after he brought his Mounts nearer and by overturning the Foundations of the Castle Antonia he made an easie ascent into the Temple seizing on the North and West Porches without the Temple part whereof joyning to Antonia was burnt by the Jews and soon after the other part by the Romans the Jews not attempting to quench the Fire that the Porch might be entirely separated from Antonia July 27. the Jews again set fire on the West Porch toward the Bridge that led to the Gallery where many Romans getting up were burnt the Jews flying away on purpose to draw them on The day after the Romans burnt all the North Porch even unto the East Porch August 8.
