in_o the_o midst_n of_o all_o their_o pleasure_n they_o behold_v most_o strange_a and_o wonderful_a vision_n and_o apparition_n in_o the_o a●re_n one_o while_o there_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o mighty_a

the_o point_n downward_o which_o bring_v such_o amazement_n through_o all_o part_n of_o the_o city_n and_o country_n round_o about_o that_o the_o people_n be_v many_o of_o they_o at_o their_o wit_n

to_o bring_v they_o tiding_n of_o titus_n vespasian_n approach_n with_o a_o mighty_a great_a army_n of_o valiant_a soldier_n which_o have_v vow_v to_o scale_v the_o stately_a wall_n of_o jerusalem_n and_o make_v their_o building_n level_v with_o the_o ground_n whereupon_o the_o governor_n of_o the_o jew_n take_v courage_n upon_o they_o and_o make_v this_o reply_n let_v not_o that_o proud_a

the_o slaughter_n of_o our_o enemy_n if_o need_v require_v why_o then_o quoth_v they_o shall_v we_o be_v danute_v or_o stand_v in_o fear_n of_o any_o power_n that_o can_v come_v against_o we_o thus_o while_o the_o jew_n slatter_v themselves_o within_o the_o wall_n of_o the_o city_n think_v themselves_o secure_a the_o valiant_a emperor_n titus_n encamp_v and_o besiege_v the_o city_n round_o about_o

be_v brief_a this_o it_o be_v that_o the_o jew_n that_o be_v within_o the_o city_n fall_v out_o among_o themselves_o and_o divide_v themselves_o into_o three_o part_n where_o they_o make_v more_o
