      • Preface, Explaining His Design in Undertaking This Work.

      • Of the Adversaries of the Name of Christ, Whom the Barbarians for Christ’s Sake Spared When They Stormed the City.

      • That It is Quite Contrary to the Usage of War, that the Victors Should Spare the Vanquished for the Sake of Their Gods.

      • That the Romans Did Not Show Their Usual Sagacity When They Trusted that They Would Be Benefited by the Gods Who Had Been Unable to Defend Troy.

      • Of the Asylum of Juno in Troy, Which Saved No One from the Greeks; And of the Churches of the Apostles, Which Protected from the Barbarians All Who Fled to Them.

      • Cæsar’s Statement Regarding the Universal Custom of an Enemy When Sacking a City.

      • That Not Even the Romans, When They Took Cities, Spared the Conquered in Their Temples.
