due to God on hie he attributed to his owne name And in his swelling surquedrie the Lord he robbed of the same Wherefore amid his most renowne God for his folly threw him downe For by the prophet Ieremie the Lord himselfe euen thus doth say I will to none giue my glorie and eke by the prophet Esay The haughtie I will pull downe low and cause the meeke harted to bow To Moises eke in Exodus A ielous God saith he am I The prophet Sophony writeth thus I will visite ech arrogancie In Ecclesiasticus I reede Thy selfe exalt not in thy deede The eight of Iohn doth beare record No man can anie thing receiue But it proceedeth from the Lord who euerie perfect gift doth giue And if ech gift from him proceed to glorie than what haue we need All flesh is hay and as a flower his glorie all away shall passe The prophet saith and in one houre as Iob doth tell consume to grasse All pride as Salomon doth write is abhominable in Gods sight Lucifer once an angell bright for pride was throwen downe to hell Antiochus for all his might Herod who did in pride excell Through pride with plagues most miserably tormented were or they did sdie Nabuchodonozar the King God plucked downe from regall seate And for his pride in euerie thing became a beast and grasse did eate And manie mightie Kings beside the Lord hath plagued for their pride Abandon then this wicked pride which God himselfe doth so abhorre Or els it cannot be denide but God will plague vs heeretofore For euerie gift giue God the fame and honor still his holie name FINIS NON HOMINVM CONSTAT TVRBA SED NVMINE PALMA THE HISTORIE OF THE conquests of the vertuous conquerour IVDAS MACHABEVS I Am Iudas Machabeus in might surpassing all I found not yet in Israell for strength my peregall A Lion fierce I was in field as holie scriptures say And as a raging Lions whelpe that roreth at his pray An enimie to wicked men a frend vnto the good A plague and scourge to euerie such as shed the guiltlesse bloud A Iew I am of noble birth I saw the liuing God For feare of me the heathen fled as children from the rod I am the same which did redeeme all Israell from thrall Euen he whom God the Lord did raise Antiochus pride to appall Who had the land of Israell most cruellie opprest The citie of Ierusalem both sacked and distrest The temples robbed and destroide and thousands piteouslie Murthered and led away into captiuitie And placed wicked officers throughout the land likewise His heathenish lawes to maintaine and Gods lawes to despise As Phillip in Ierusalem a cruell man of mind Andromichus and Menelaus at garrison assignd And Apollonius a prince of Syria also With two and twentie thousand men who wrought the Iewes much wo And murthered them in wilfull wise without desert or cause Compelling such as did remaine to obey his wicked lawes Whose bloodie hand to euitate I was constraind to flie Vnto the woods and wildernesse in desart caues to lie With manie of my brethren mo where we consulted long Amongst our selues what we should do for to redresse this wrong At last with one consent we agréed couragiouslie to stand Against the wicked heathen sort who then possest the land And béeing about six thousand men I tooke the charge on me By one accord chose and elect their captaine chiefe to be To fight it out with manlie hart and after praiers made I marched forward with my folke the heathen to inuade And met with Apolonius and slew him with my hand And all his people more and lesse which then with me did stand His sword I tooke amid the strife perforce from him away And therewith fought during my life in manie a bloodie fray The citie of Ierusalem I wan from them againe And slew the heathen vpon heaps which did therein remaine I tooke the temple and did clense and purifie the same I did destroy the altars which they builded there with shame And since erected altars new as they had béene of yore And offered thereon sacrifice and incense as before I ouercame Seron in fight with thousands of his traine By me eight hundreth of his men were in one battell slaine Gorgias the captaine great I put to shamefull flight And slew there thousands with the sword and by Gods onely might Who sent his angels from aboue armed in glistering gold On horsebacke with a speare in hand most terrible to behold The valiant captaine Lysias of King Antiochus With thréescore thousand in one troupe though it be woonderous I conquered and put to flight and slew fiue thousand tho Yet had I to encounter them ten thousand and no mo In Idumea I did kill of heathens manie a man At Arabathan in like sort great slaughter I began Gazer Maspha and Casbon I did destroy with fire Mageth Bosor for they did gainst Israel conspire The gate of Iamnia I did burne and manie a ship therein And all that dwelt in Ioppa I plagued for their sin Timotheus with his Asia troupe I met and through Gods aide Which he from heauen sent to me my foes were so dismaide And confounded with such darkenesse of lightning on them throwen And fierie darts of present death that therewith they fell downe For feare where twentie thousand men and fiue hundreth were slaine Of footemen and of horsemen more six hundreth on the plaine And Timotheus béeing fled and in a corner found With Cereas his brother hid I slew with manie a wound Ephron and Carnaym eke strong cities I did sacke And euerie male therein with sword did bring to vtter wracke Yea so great a multitude that euerie stréet therein Was couerd with dead carcases so God did plague their sin The citie Hebron in like sort and Azot I did burne With altars idols images which heathen did adorne The puisant King Antiochus I met with all his traine And slew six hundreth of his men as scripture telleth plaine His captaine Nican or also I kild at Bethoron And all his soldiours in one day there scaped neuer a one His head and hand I did cut off béeing of the Iewes abhord His toong I cast vnto the fowles which did blaspheme the Lord. Thus ruled I in Israel with honor and renowne And wan the palme of victorie in countrie field and towne At last it was my fatall lot amid my foes to die Euen as the Lord decréeed had vpon my destinie For secret causes to him knowen which must be accomplished My death was this as you may ●nd in scripture if you reed When King Demetrius vnderstood how Nicanor was slaine He sent his captaine Bachydes to Iuda land againe With two and twentie thousand men well furnished to fight With whom my countrie to defend I met as it was right Accompanied but with a few thrée thousand and no mo Whereof the most part stole away or I to fight did go And left me there
