20. Will you give this triumph over the Church of
God to the Jews? this trophy over Christ’s people, this
exultation, O Emperor, to the unbelievers? this rejoicing to the
Synagogue, this sorrow to the Church? The people of the Jews will
set this solemnity amongst their feast-days, and will doubtless number
it amongst those on which they triumphed either over the Amorites, or
the Canaanites, or were delivered from the hand of Pharaoh, King of
Egypt, or of Nebuchodonosor, King of Babylon. They will add this
solemnity, in memory of their having triumphed over the people of
Christ.
