Skirmish Thirteen Thousand of them were Slain The People of Alexandria put Fifty Thousand of them to the Sword They of Damascus ten Thousand of them and Antonius a Roman Captain slew in Ascalon Ten Thousand and Cestius another Captain slew Fourscore Thousand and Forty Persons And now to come to the Wars mannaged here by Vespasian This Vespasion in the Seige of Aphaca slew and took Prisoners Seventeen Thousand One Hundred and Thirty Persons in Samaria Eleaven Thousand Six Hundred Persons and in Josepata Forty two Thousand two Hundred Persons In Joppa so many Killed and Drowned themselves that the Sea threw up again Four Thousand two Hundred Persons and the rest so totally perished that there remained none to carry tydings to Jerusalem of the loss of the Town In the City of Tarichea were Slain and made Captives Forty five Thousand Persons besides those which were given to the King Agrippa In Gamala there perished Ninety Thousand and none were left alive but only two Women In Gascala Five Thousand Men died by the Sword In the City of Gadara there were Slain Thirty two Thousand two Hundred besides an infinite number of such as Drowned themselves In Jerusalem it self there Died Eleven Hundred Thousand of them partly by the Sword and partly by Famine the worse Enemy of the two there were found two Thousand in Privies and Sinks and Ninety Seaven Thousand were taken prisoners insomuch that thirty Jews were sold for a Peny Now that Jerusalem was able to contain such a number of People is evident in that when Cestius was Leiuetenant of Jury the high Priest did at his Request number the People which came to Eat of the Paschal Lamb and found them to be two Millions and Seven Hundred Thousand living Souls all Sound and Purified And when Titus laid Seige to the City it was at the Feast of the Passeover when most of the People were there Assembled God as it were thus Imprisoning them All these Massacres besides divers others Omitted and infinite Numbers which were Slain in the Feilds and Villages which Drowned themselves and were privately made away Amounting to almost two Millions of People happened in the compass of foure Years beginning in the twelse of Nero and ending in the second of Vespasian Yet was not the whole Nation Rooted out till the Year One Hundred Thirty Six For then this Miserable People having stirred two notable Rebellions First under Trajan and asterward under Adrian the Emperours they were generally Banished their Native Countrey and never again suffered to inhabit it but as Strangers After this Desolation the Jews were dispersed all over the World and especially in Spain where Adrian Commanded many of them to dwell yet they found every where so little Favour that having divers times been put to greivous Mulcts and Ransomes they were at last quite t●rust out of Europe also The First Christian Prince that expelled the Jews out of his Territories was that Heroick King our Edward the First who was such a sore Scowrge also to the Scots and it is thought divers Families of those Banished Jews fled then to Scotland where they have propagated since in great Numbers Witness the Aversion this Nation hath above others to Hogs-Flesh Nor was this their Extermination for their Religion but for their notorious Crimes as poisoning of Wells Counterfeiting of Coins falsifying of Seals and Crucifying of Christian Children with other Villanies This happened in the Year One Thousand Two Hundred Ninety One And Sixteen Years after France followed our Example It was neer two Hundred Years after that Ferdinand turn'd them out of Spain and five years after him Emanual of Portugal did the like But the Countreys from whence they were Last expelled were Naples and Sicily in the Year One Thousand Five Hundred Thirty Nine In other parts of Christendome they reside yet in great numbers as in Germany High and Low Bohemia Lituania Poland and Russia In Italy also they are found but in no Countrey which is subject to the King of Spain They live very quietly at Rome under the Popes nose and St. Mark makes no Scruple to entertain them at Venice In sundry places of the Ottoman Empire they are found very numerous so that it is thought Constantinople and Thessalonica only have near upon twenty Thousand of them Asia is full of them as Aleppo Tripoly Damascus Rhodes and indeed all places of commerce and Traffique There are numbers of themifound also in Persia Arabia and about Cranganor in India And to come to Affrick they have their Synagogues and Lumbards bards in Alexandria the Gran Cairo as also in Fesse in Tremiseu and divers places in the Kingdome of Morocco there are about one hundred Families left in Jerusalem But the place where they are most unmingled is Tiberias which the Turks gave to Mendez the Jew for some signal services thither they oftentimes bring or send the bones of their dead freinds who have left large Legacies to be there interred from other places The City of Jerusalem was afterward re-edified by Elius Adrianus and given to the Christians from whom it was taken by Cosroes and the Presians in the Year Six Hundred Fifteen and from them forcibly wrested by Haumar and the Saracens in the Year Six Hundred Thirty Seven Next it fell into the power of Cutlu Moses and the Turks in the Year One Thousand Nine under whose oppression when it had long groaned Peter the Hermit stirred up the Westerne Princes to relieve the distressed Christians whose designs attained their wished effect under the Banner of the Victorious Prince Godfrey of Bullen in the Year One Thousand Ninety Nine This Godfrey for his merits was to have been invested with the Royal Wreath of Majesty which he denied thinking it unfit to wear a Crown of Gold where his Saviour had Worn a Crown of Thorns yet for the Common good sake he accepted the Title after whom reigned these Christian Princes Second Baldwin Third Baldwin the Second Fourth Fulk Earl of Anjou Fifth Baldwin the Third Six Almerick Seventh Baldwin the Fourth Eight Baldwin the fifth Ninth Guy of Lusignan the last King of Jerusalem during whose time Saladine the Sultan of Egypt won the Kingdom which his Successours defended against all invasions till the Year One Thousand Five Hundred Seventeen when Selinus the first Emperour of the Turks added the Holy Land together with Egypt to his Empire And so the whole Countrey of Palestine with the City of Jerusalem are under the dominion of the Turk to this day and is inhabited by some Christians who make a great benefit of shewing the Sepulcher of Christ and of late Years also by Moors Arabians Greeks Latines Turks Jews nay I may safely and probably say with People of all Nations The whole Land containeth Four Regions Idumea Judea Samaria and Gallilee Idumea beginneth at Mount Cassius or as some will at the Lake Sirbon reaching to the Eastward of Judea The Cheif Cities are Maresa Rhinocorura Rapha Antedon Ascalon
