belong_v to_o our_o mutual_a peace_n among_o ourselves_o the_o common_a peace_n and_o safety_n will_v be_v ill_o preserve_v if_o we_o be_v bite_v and_o devour_v one_o another_o we_o shall_v need_v no_o enemy_n to_o destroy_v we_o 15._o if_o this_o continue_v for_o we_o shall_v be_v consume_v one_o of_o another_o we_o have_v nothing_o so_o conspicuous_a in_o the_o history_n of_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o jew_n as_o their_o cruel_a intestine_a feud_n and_o war_n which_o make_v they_o a_o easy_a prey_n to_o the_o roman_n they_o be_v at_o first_o divide_v into_o three_o great_a sect_n that_o of_o the_o sadducee_n who_o be_v plain_a atheist_n and_o libertine_n that_o deny_v the_o be_v of_o spirit_n and_o a_o future_a state_n and_o that_o by_o consequence_n can_v lie_v under_o no_o restraint_n from_o their_o religion_n they_o strike_v in_o to_o herod_n and_o afterward_o fall_v under_o so_o general_a a_o odium_n that_o they_o grow_v more_o inconsiderable_a towards_o the_o end_n of_o that_o state_n the_o second_o sect_n be_v that_o of_o the_o essen_v who_o be_v man_n of_o excellent_a moral_n and_o of_o a_o sublime_a piety_n who_o retain_v their_o ancient_a simplicity_n they_o retire_v from_o the_o world_n live_v in_o common_a at_o work_n and_o in_o constant_a devotion_n these_o do_v likewise_o disappear_v and_o probable_o they_o become_v christian_n to_o which_o their_o holy_a disposition_n and_o their_o strict_a life_n do_v so_o much_o prepare_v they_o that_o it_o be_v scarce_o possible_a to_o think_v that_o man_n of_o such_o temper_n can_v resist_v such_o a_o religion_n but_o the_o three_o sect_n that_o swallow_v all_o the_o rest_n up_o be_v that_o of_o the_o pharisee_n of_o who_o so_o much_o be_v say_v in_o the_o gospel_n that_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a to_o enlarge_v upon_o their_o character_n they_o be_v a_o sort_n of_o people_n that_o under_o a_o outward_a appearance_n of_o great_a strictness_n be_v the_o false_a the_o violent_a the_o cruel_a and_o the_o most_o revengeful_a they_o be_v the_o least_o moral_a and_o the_o most_o hypocritical_a and_o diabolical_a sect_n that_o ever_o be_v these_o by_o the_o appearance_n of_o exactness_n and_o of_o zeal_n have_v so_o possess_v themselves_o of_o the_o opinion_n and_o the_o affection_n of_o the_o people_n that_o they_o can_v turn_v they_o which_o way_n they_o please_v but_o among_o they_o there_o be_v subdivision_n the_o zealot_n be_v those_o who_o from_o the_o example_n and_o the_o reward_n of_o phinehas_n come_v to_o think_v that_o when_o magistrate_n be_v too_o slack_a in_o punish_v offender_n private_a person_n may_v do_v it_o st._n paul_n have_v be_v one_o of_o these_o and_o as_o such_o he_o not_o only_o persecute_v the_o church_n from_o house_n to_o house_n but_o have_v get_v a_o company_n of_o man_n of_o the_o same_o fury_n to_o follow_v he_o he_o go_v to_o persecute_v they_o even_o to_o strange_a city_n now_o towards_o the_o end_n of_o the_o history_n of_o the_o jew_n we_o see_v this_o become_v a_o matter_n of_o mere_a rage_n and_o company_n assume_v this_o name_n get_v together_o and_o run_v about_o execute_v whatsoever_o their_o own_o fury_n inspire_v they_o with_o as_o a_o revenge_n of_o sin_n in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n these_o first_o murder_v all_o the_o roman_n every_o where_o and_o so_o engage_v themselves_o in_o a_o war_n with_o they_o that_o require_v either_o a_o most_o mighty_a resistance_n or_o that_o must_v in_o conclusion_n end_n in_o their_o own_o utter_a ruin_n they_o also_o murder_v all_o that_o incline_v or_o move_v at_o any_o time_n to_o treat_v with_o the_o roman_n but_o man_n of_o this_o sort_n seldom_o agree_v long_o together_o so_o these_o be_v soon_o subdivide_v into_o those_o who_o be_v head_v by_o eleazar_n who_o be_v the_o master_n of_o the_o inner_a court_n of_o the_o temple_n and_o those_o who_o be_v head_v by_o john_n that_o possess_v themselves_o of_o the_o outer_a court_n and_o when_o those_o within_o open_v the_o gate_n at_o the_o feast_n of_o the_o passover_n that_o so_o the_o people_n may_v come_v in_o and_o offer_v their_o lamb_n some_o of_o john_n party_n go_v in_o and_o kill_v eleazar_n and_o so_o he_o become_v master_n of_o the_o whole_a temple_n but_o this_o be_v not_o all_o for_o there_o be_v another_o party_n among_o they_o that_o be_v call_v the_o robber_n that_o do_v the_o same_o thing_n that_o the_o zealot_n do_v for_o it_o be_v scarce_o possible_a to_o think_v they_o can_v do_v worse_o but_o it_o seem_v they_o do_v not_o cover_v it_o with_o the_o pretence_n of_o zeal_n for_o the_o law_n and_o so_o be_v the_o more_o honest_a robber_n of_o the_o two_o who_o own_v that_o they_o rob_v for_o rob_v sake_n these_o be_v at_o first_o command_v by_o minahem_n the_o son_n of_o judas_n of_o galilee_n but_o he_o be_v kill_v by_o eleazar_n mean_n they_o be_v after_o that_o head_a by_o one_o simon_n who_o be_v call_v into_o jerusalem_n drove_n john_n out_o of_o the_o city_n and_o have_v many_o engagement_n with_o he_o and_o his_o zealot_n in_o one_o of_o which_o they_o burn_v the_o common_a store_n of_o provision_n which_o if_o preserve_v will_v have_v serve_v to_o maintain_v a_o long_a siege_n thus_o be_v they_o fight_v with_o one_o another_o when_o titus_n come_v before_o they_o with_o a_o army_n that_o consist_v only_o of_o four_o legion_n

they_o take_v if_o any_o speak_v of_o treat_v with_o the_o roman_n he_o be_v present_o the_o object_n of_o the_o common_a fury_n yet_o they_o do_v not_o sally_v out_o upon_o they_o till_o it_o be_v
