A46295	The wonderful, and most deplorable history of the latter times of the Jews with the destruction of the city of Jerusalem. Which history begins where the Holy Scriptures do end. By Josephus Ben Gorion whereunto is added a brief of the ten captivities; with the pourtrait of the Roman rams, and engines of battery, &c. As also of Jerusalem; with the fearful, and presaging apparitions that were seen in the air before her ruins. Moreover, there is a parallel of the late times and crimes in London, with those in Jerusalem.; Josippon. English. Abridgments.

if_o he_o have_v be_v of_o a●…valiant_a courage_n he_o will_v have_v stand_v to_o his_o defence_n to_o the_o death_n peradventure_o god_n will_v have_v deliver_v he_o but_o he_o contrary_o all_o in_o

the_o world_n for_o as_o he_o do_v not_o spare_v his_o own_o life_n nor_o his_o son_n so_o do_v he_o not_o spare_v other_o and_o whereas_o you_o allege_v aaron_n unto_o i_o i_o will_v know_v of_o you_o why_o he_o put_v himself_o between_o the_o live_n and_o the_o dead_a be_v it_o not_o because_o he_o will_v turn_v away_o the_o plague_n from_o israel_n if_o he_o have_v know_v that_o he_o
