However this may be, it is on this very spot that King Recared formally abjured Arianism; and preserved in a cloister of the cathedral may still be seen the "Consecration Stone" which reads: that the Church of Santa Maria, built probably on the foundation of the older church, was consecrated under "King Recared the Catholic, 587 A.D." It also tells of the councils of the Spanish Church held there at one of which councils was the famous canon which decreed that all future Kings must swear they would show no mercy to "that accursed people" meaning the Jews.
Conferences were held on that head, without coming to any conclusion satisfactory to the English. * Haynes, p. 587. Camden, p. 406. * Camden, p. 407, 408.

During A.D. 587 the two divisions acted separately in different quarters; and, at the end of the year, neither could boast of any greater success than the reduction, in each case, of a single fortress. Philippicus, however, seems to have been satisfied; and at the approach of winter he withdrew from the East altogether, leaving Heraclius as his representative, and returned to Constantinople.

Jeremiah, as far back as 587 B.C., prophesied desolation to Judah for having "burned incense to the Queen of Heaven," and poured out "drink offerings" unto her, and "made cakes to worship her." Jer. xliv. 17-19.
