On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Justly did their great Lord sue them for this permissive waste, and by his judgments recover locum vastatum--for dilapidations (as the law speaks), when this neglected temple was laid even with the ground. The king himself was (as it should seem) the first and forwardest man that took care for the repair of it.
