as_o josephus_n tell_v we_o that_o go_v before_o the_o destruction_n of_o jerusalem_n by_o fire_n namely_o that_o a_o great_a gate_n of_o the_o temple_n which_o twenty_o man_n can_v hardly_o pull_v open_a open_v of_o its_o own_o accord_n and_o that_o a_o ox_n bring_v forth_o a_o lamb_n in_o the_o temple_n with_o several_a other_o which_o i_o forbear_v to_o mention_v these_o be_v dark_a text_n for_o man_n to_o expound_v yet_o some_o do_v venture_v to_o give_v the_o sense_n and_o meaning_n of_o they_o as_o if_o each_o of_o they_o have_v be_v a_o token_n for_o good_a whereas_o the_o event_n do_v manifest_v the_o quite_o contrary_a so_o be_v the_o destruction_n of_o london_n usher_v in_o with_o several_a prodigy_n blazing-star_n and_o other_o which_o do_v precede_v it_o at_o no_o such_o

weâ—e_v some_o who_o do_v put_v a_o good_a construction_n upon_o those_o ill-signe_n as_o if_o they_o have_v be_v forerunner_n of_o the_o good_a thing_n which_o they_o themselves_o expect_v in_o the_o year_n 66_o though_o as_o to_o their_o enemy_n they_o may_v have_v a_o ill-aspect_n and_o ominous_a signification_n thus_o far_o some_o involve_a themselves_o in_o the_o same_o practice_n with_o the_o

in_o such_o a_o year_n but_o i_o have_v hear_v that_o some_o do_v confident_o assert_v before_o any_o thing_n of_o the_o fire_n do_v happen_v that_o london_n will_v be_v burn_v in_o the_o year_n 66_o

it_o be_v too_o much_o credulousness_n to_o believe_v a_o human_a prophecy_n before_o it_o be_v fulfil_v yet_o to_o disbelieve_v that_o it_o be_v a_o real_a prophecy_n when_o it_o be_v fulfil_v be_v on_o the_o other_o hand_n too_o much_o moroseness_n and_o incredulity_n it_o be_v not_o unusual_a with_o god_n to_o reveal_v to_o one_o or_o other_o those_o great_a and_o strange_a thing_n which_o he_o be_v about_o to_o do_v in_o the_o world_n though_o because_o there_o be_v many_o false_a pretender_n to_o revelation_n we_o ought_v to_o suspend_v our_o belief_n of_o such_o thing_n deliver_v to_o we_o by_o other_o till_o the_o event_n do_v attest_v they_o the_o burn_a of_o jerusalem_n at_o leastwise_o of_o the_o temple_n be_v say_v to_o have_v be_v begin_v by_o one_o of_o vespatian_n
