Ezra6:11
Verſe 11. Let timber be pulled downe from his houſe] 1. Let his houſe be pulled down for a penalty. The Popiſh Councel of Tholouſe called together againſt the Albigenſes (thoſe ancient Proteſtants) made this cruel conſtitution; We decree that that houſe, wherein is found an Heretick, be pulled down to the ground. 2. Let that timber be ſet up for a gibbet, and let him be hanged thereon] Chald. deſtroyed. Compare that of the Apoſtle 1 Cor. 3.17, If any man deſtroy the Temple of God (which Temple ye are) him ſhall God deſtroy: and let thoſe look to it who turne it into a den of theeves, into a brothel-houſe, ſlaughter-houſe, peſt-houſe of noyſome luſts, qui podicem ex ore faciunt, by their unſavory ſpeeches, and moile themſelves worſe then by tumbling in a jakes.
