with and slewe no lesse then twentie thousand 18 And because certeine which were no lesse then nine thousand were fled into two strong castels hauing all maner of things conuenicnt to susteine the siege 19 Maccabeus left Simon and Ioseph and Zaccheus also and those that were with them which were ynowe to besiege them and departed to those places which were more necessarie 20 Now thei that were with Simon being Ied with couetousnes were intreated for monei thorowe certeine of those that we re in the castel toke seuentie thousand drachmes and let some of them escape 21 But when it was tolde Maccabeus what was done he called the gouernours of the people together and accused those men that they had solde their brethren for money and let their en emies go 22 So he slewe them when they were conuict of traison and immediatly wan the two ca stels 23 And hauing good successe as in all the warres that he toke in hand he flew in the two castels mo then twentie thousand 24 Now Timotheus whome the Iewes had ouercome afore gathered an armie of stran gers of all sortes broght a great troupe of horsemen out of Asia to winne Iewrie by strength 25 But when he drewe nere Maccabeus and thei that were with him turned to praye vn to God sprinkled earth vpon their heads and girded their reines with sacke cloth 26 And fel downe at the fote of the altar and besoght the Lord to be merciful to them and to be an enemie to their enemies and to be an aduersarie to their aduersaries * as the Law declareth 27 So after the prayer they toke their weapons went on further from the citie and when they came nere to the enemies they toke hede to them selues 28 And when the morning appeared they bothe ioyned together the one parte had the Lord for their refuge pledge of prosperitie and noble victorie

of these things things before me 10 Then said Paul I stand at Cesars iudgemēt seat where I ought to be iudged to the Iewes I haue done no wrong as thou verie wel knowest 11 For if I haue done wrōg or committed anie thing worthie of death I refuse not to die but if there be none of these things where of they accuse me no man can deliuer me to them I appeale vnto Cesar. 12 Then when Festus had spoken with the Council he answered Hast thou appealed vnto Cesar vnto Cesar shalt thou go 13 ¶ And after certeine dayes King Agrippa and Bernice came downe to Cesarea to salute Festus 14 And when they had remained there manie dayes Festus proposed Pauls cause vnto the King saying There is a certeine man left in prison by Felix 15 Of whome when I came to Ierusalem the high Priests and Elders of the Iewes informed me and desired to haue iudgement against him 16 To whome I answered that it is not the maner of the Romaines for fauour to deliuer anie mā to the death before that he which is accused haue the accusers before him haue place to defēd him self cōcerning the crime 17 Therefore when they were come hither without delay the day folowing I sate on the iudgement seat and cōmaunded the man to be broght forthe 18 Against whome when the accusers stode vp they broght no crime of suche things as I sup posed 19 But had certeine questions against him of their owne superstition and of one Iesus which was dead whome Paul affirmed to be aliue 20 And because I douted of suche maner of question I asked him whether he wolde go to Ierusalem and there be iudged of these things 21 But because he appealed to be reserued to the examination of Augustus I commanded him to be kept til I might send him to Cesar 22 Then Agrippa said vnto Festus I wolde also heare the man myself To morowe said he thou shalt heare him 23 And on the morow whē Agrippa was come and Bernice with great pompe and were entred into the Cōmune hall with the chief ca ptaines and chief men of the citie at Festus commaundement Paul was broght forthe 24 And festus said King Agrippa and all men whiche are present with vs ye se this man about whome all the multitude of the Iewes haue called vpon me bothe at Ierusalem here crying that he ought not to liue anie longer 25 Yet haue I founde nothing worthie of death that he hathe committed neuertheles seing that he hathe appealed to Augustus I haue determined to send him 26 Of whom I haue no certeine thing to write vnto my Lorde wherefore I haue broght him forthe vnto you and specially vnto thee Kyng Agrippa that after examination had I might haue some what to write 27 For me thinketh it vnreasonable to send a prisoner and not to shewe the causes which are layed against him CHAP.
