Luke21:22
22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
After our Saviour's Ascension, the Seditions amongst the Jews were so many, and they rebelled so often against the Romans, during the Governments of Felix, Festus, Albinus, and Florus, that the Romans resolved wholly to destroy them, and to that purpose Titus Vespasianus was sent with an Army against them, who took the City. Our Saviour foresaw, that when that time should come, there would be some vain Persons full of Stomach for their Liberties, that would be Prophecying their Deliverance, and incourageing them to hold out to the last. He warneth his D[illegible: 4 letters]ples to give no credit to them, for God would certainly deliver the City into their Hands; therefore he adviseth them as soon as they should see the City besieged, they should all Shift for themselves, as fast as they could, for there was no true Ground to hope for any deliverance. The time of Gods Vengeance was come, when God would most certainly fulfill against that place, whatsoever he had foretold against it.
