Iosep Antiq. li. 15.14 See how he attributeth the greatest part of his meanes to the friendship of the Romanes wherof hee made more accounte then of his leasure or ready monie at will which yet he more evidently declareth when as after the work finished he did dedicate a golden eagle of great waight upon the great dore of the temple the armes of that King by whose favour and authoritie that strange God had shewed himself so bountifull upon the holdes of the Almightie God And hitherto of his works towards God Now in speciall what manner of one he should be towards men Whom saith he he shal aknowledge he shal increase with glory for all authoritie was in the handes of the Romanes from the first touch at that province He by his legate Scaurus did preferre Aristobulus the younger brother both to the preiesthood and the Kingdome He also by Pompey restored H●rcanus againe he made Antipater the Edomite the governour of all Iudea and appointed his sonnes Phasaelus and Herod to raigne who but he confirmed Herods will and testament and declared not Archilaus his sonne for king but graunting him a moytie of Herods jurisdiction made him a ruler of the people That which of late belonged to one now by the appointment of this King who might doe whatsoever him listed was divided amonge fowre Philip and Antipas and Salome doe enioy equall portions with Archilaus Ioseph Antiq. lib. 17. c. 13. so he devided the land for money and the historie makes it manifest that this King made more account of talents then of reason and honestie justice and equitie whosoever brought the greatest weight of gold did speed best in his suite But that buying and selling is of all other the most memorable when after the overthrow of Ierusalem Vespasiā Titus emperours had famously triumphed Caesar writes from Rome to Liberius Maximus appointed governour to make sale of all the land of the Iewes Iosep of the Iewes warre lib. 7. c. 26.
