of disassembly of the Word of God
The Book of Job 16 Job answered, and said: I have often times heard such things. Miserable givers of comfort are ye, all the fort of you. Shall not thy vain words come yet to an end? Or, hast thou yet any more to say? I could speak as ye do also. But would God, that your soul were in my souls stead.: then should I heap up words against you, and shake my head at you. I should comfort you with my mouth, and release your pain with the talking of my lips. But what shall I do? For all my words, my sorrow will not cease: and though I hold my tongue, yet will it not depart from me. And now that I am full of pain, and all that I have destroyed ( whereof my wrinkles bare witness ) there standeth up a disassembler to make me answer with lies to my face. He is angry at me, he hateth me, and gnasheth upon me with his teeth. Mine enemy schooleth upon me with his eyes.
They have opened their mouths wide upon me, and smitten me upon the cheek despitefully, they have eased themselves through mine adversary. God hath given me over to the ungodly. I was some time in wealth, but suddenly he hath brought me to nought. He hath taken me by the neck, he hath rent me, and set me, as it were a mark for him to shoot at. He hath compassed me round about with his darts, he hath wounded my loins, and not spared. My bowels hath he poured upon the ground. He hath given me one wound upon another, and is fallen upon me like a giant. I have sowed sack cloth upon my skin, and lay with my strength in the dust.
My face is swollen with weeping, and mine eyes are waxen dim. Howbeit there is no wickedness in my hands, and my prayer is clean. O' earth, cover not my blood, and let my crying find no room. For lo, my witness is in heaven, and he that knoweth me, is above in the height. My friends laugh me to scorn, but mine eye poureth out tears unto God. Though a body might plead with God, as one man doeth another, yet the number of my years are come, and I must go the way, from whence I shall not turn again.
The Psalmes of David 5 To the Chaunter in Nehiloth
Hear my words ( O' Lord ) consider my calling. O' mark the voice of my petition, my King and my God, for unto thee will I make my prayer. Hear my voice by times ( O' Lord ) for early in the morning I will get me unto thee, and that with diligence.
For thou art not the God that hath pleasure in wickedness, there may no ungodly person dwell with thee. Such as be cruel may not stand in thy sight, thou art an enemy of all wicked doers. Thou destroyest the liars: the Lord abhors the blood thirsty and deceitful.
But as for me, I will come into thy house, even upon the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.
Lead me ( O Lord ) in thy righteousness because of mine enemies, and make thy way plain before me. For there is no faithfulness in their mouths: they disassemble in their hearts: their throat is an open sepulcher: with their tongues they deceive. Punish them ( O' God ) that they perish in their own imaginations: cast them out because of the multitude of their ungodliness, for they rebel against thee.
Again, let all them that put their trust in thee, rejoice: let them ever be giving of thanks, because thou defendest them: that they which love thy name, may be joyful in thee.
For thou Lord givest thy blessing unto the righteous: and with thy favorable kindness thou defendest him, as with a shield.
The Psalmes of David 12 To the Chaunter upon *Shenunith
Help Lord, for there is not one saint more: very few faithful are there among the children of men. Every man telleth lies to his neighbor, they do but flatter with their lips and with and disassemble in their heart. O' that the Lord would root out all deceitful lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things. Which said: our tongue should we prevail: we are they that ought to speak, who is lord over us?
Now for the troubles sake of the oppressed, and because of the company of the poor, I will up ( sayeth the Lord) I will help them, and set them at rest.
The words of the Lord are pure words: even as the silver, which from the earth is tried and purified seven times in fire.
Keep them therefore ( O' Lord ) and preserve us from this generation for ever. And why? when vanity and idleness getteth the our hand among the children of men, all are full of the ungodly.
From the Hebrew: * my father is a lamp "doubtful"
The Psalmes of David 18 I will love thee, ( O' Lord ) my strength. The Lord is my *succor, my refuge, my Savior: my God, my helper, in whom I will trust: my buckler, the horn of my health, and my protection.
I will praise the Lord, and call upon him, so shall I be save from mine enemies.
The sorrows of death compassed me, and the brooks of ungodliness made me afraid. The pains of hell came about me, the snares of death took hold upon me.
Yet in my trouble I called upon the Lord, and complained unto my God. So he heard my voice out of his holy temple, and my complaint came before him, yee even into his ears.
Then the earth trembled and quaked, the very foundations of the hills shook and were removed, because he was wroth.
There went a smoke out of his nostrils, and a consuming fire out of his mouth, so that coals were kindled at it. He bowed the heavens, and came down, and it was dark was under his feet. He rode upon the Cherub, and did fly: he came flying with the wings of the wind. He made darkness his pavilion round about him, with dark waters and thick clouds to cover him. At the brightness of his presence the clouds removed, with hail stones and coals of fire. The Lord also thundered out of the heaven, and the height gave his thunder with hail stones and coals of fire. He sent out his arrows and scattered them, he cast sore lightnings, and destroyed them. The springs of waters were seen, and the foundations of the round world were discovered at thy chiding (O' Lord) at the blasting and breath of thy displeasures.
He sent from the height to fetch me, and took me out of great waters. He delivered me from my strong enemies, and from my foes which were too mighty for me. They prevented me in the time of my trouble, but the Lord was my defense. He brought me forth also into liberty: and delivered me, because he had a favor unto me.
The Lord shall reward me after my righteous dealing, and according to the cleanness of my hands shall he recompensed me. For I have kept the ways of the Lord: and have not behaved myself wickedly against my God. I have an eye unto all his laws, and cast not out his commandments from me.
Uncorrupt will I be before him, and will I *eschue my own wickedness.
Therefore shall the Lord reward me after my righteous dealing, and according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight. With the holy thou shalt be holy, and with the innocent thou shalt be innocent. With the clean thou shalt be clean, and with the *froward thou shalt be froward. For thou shalt save the poor oppressed, and bring down the high looks of the proud.
Thou lightest my candle, O' Lord my God: thou makest my darkness to be light.
For in thee I can discomfort an host of men: yee in my God I can leap over the wall.
The way of God is a perfect way: the words of the Lord are tried in fire: he is a shield of defense, for all them that trust in him. For who is God, but the Lord? Or, who hath any strength, but our God?
It is God that girdeth me with strength, and made my way uncorrupt. He hath made my feet like hertes feet, and set me up on high. He teacheth my hands to fight, and maketh mine arms to break even a bow of steel. Thou hast given me the defense of thy health, thy right hand upholdeth me, and thy loving correction maketh me great. Thou hast made room enough under me for to go, that my foot steps should not slide.
I will follow upon mine enemies, and take them: I will not turn till they be discomforted.
I will smite them, they shall not be able to stand, but fall under my feet.
Thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle, thou hast thrown them all down under me, that rose up against me. Thou hast made mine enemies to turn their backs upon me, thou hast destroyed them that hate me.
They cried, but there was none to help them: yee even unto the Lord, but he heard them not. I will beat them small as the dust clay in the wind, I will cast them out as clay in the streets.
Thou shalt deliver me from the strivings of the people, thou shalt make me the head of the Heathen. As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me, but the strange children disassemble with me. The strange children are waxen old, and go halting out of their paths.
The Lord liveth: and blessed be my helper, praise be the God of my health. Even the God which seeth that I be avenged, and subdueth the people unto me. It is he that delivereth me from my cruel enemies: thou shalt lift me up from them that rise against me, thou shalt rid me from the wicked man.
For this cause I will give thanks unto thee ( O' Lord ) among the gentiles, and sing praises unto thy name. Great prosperity giveth he unto his king, and showeth loving kindness unto David his anointed, yee and to his seed for evermore.
*succor, (strength / security) *eschue: avoid, shun, escape. *froward = stubbornly contrary, abstinent RN
The Psalmes of David 36 My heart showeth me the wickedness of the ungodly, that there is no fear of God before his eyes. For he disassembleth before his face, so long till his abominable sin be found out. The words of his mouth are unrighteousness and deceit, he will not be learned to do good. He imagineth mischief upon his bed, he will come in no good way, nor refuse the thing that is evil.
Thy mercy, O' Lord, reacheth unto the heaven, and thy faithfulness unto the clouds.
Thy righteousness standeth like the strong mountains, and thy judgment like the great deep.
Thou Lord preservest both men and beasts.
How precious is thy mercy, O' God, that the children of men may put their trust under the shadow of thy wings. They shall be satisfied with the plenteousness of thy house, and thou shall give them drink of the river of thy pleasures. For by thee is the well of life, and in thy light, shall we see light.
O' spread forth thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee, and thy righteousness unto them that are true of heart.
O' let not the foot of pride overtake me, O' let not the hand of the ungodly cast me down.
As for the wicked doers, they fall, they are cast down, and are not be able to stand.
The Psalmes of David 78 An instruction of *Asaph.
Hear my law, O' my people, incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
I will open my mouth in parables, and speak of things of old.
Which we have heard and known, and such as our fathers have told us.
That we should not hide them from the children of the generations to come: but to show the honor of the Lord, his might and wonderful works that he hath done. He made a covenant with Jacob, and gave Israel a law, which he commanded our forefathers to teach their children. That their posterity might know it, and the children which were yet unborn.
To the intent that when they came up, they might show their children the same.
That they also might put their trust in God, and not to forget what he had done, but keep his commandments.
And not be as their forefathers, a *froward and *overthwart generation, a generation that set not their heart a right, and whose spirit was not true toward God. Like as the children of Ephraim, which being harnessed and carrying bows, turned themselves back in the time of battle.
They kept not the covenant of God, and would not walk in his law.
They forgot what he had done, and the wonderful works that he had showed for them.
Marvelous things did he in the sight of our fathers in the land of Egypt, even in the field of *Zoan. He divided the sea, and let them go through it, and made the waters to stand like a wall. In the daytime he led them with a cloud, and all the night through with a light of fire. He clave the hard rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink thereof, as it had been out of the great depth.
He brought waters out of the stony rock, so that they gushed out like the rivers.
Yet for all this they sinned against him, and provoked the most highest in the wilderness.
They tempted God in their hearts, and required meat for their lust.
For they spake against God, and said: yee, yee God shall prepare a table in the wilderness, shall he? Lo, he smote the stony rock, that the watery streams gushed out, and the streams flowed withal: but how can he give bread and provide flesh for his people?
When the Lord heard this, he was wroth: so the fire was kindled in Jacob, and heavy displeasure against Israel.
Because they believed not in God, and put not their trust in his help.
So he commanded the clouds above, and opened the doors of heaven.
He rained down manna upon them for to eat, and give them bread from heaven.
Then ate they angels food, for he sent them meat enough.
He caused the East wind to blow under heaven, and through his power he brought in the south wind. He made flesh to rain upon them as thick as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea: He let it fall among their tents round about their habitations.
So they ate, and were filled, for he gave them their own desire.
And they were not disappointed of their lust.
But while their meat was yet in their mouths: the heavy wrath of God came upon them, slew the wealthiest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel.
For all this they sinned yet more, and believed not his wondrous works.
Therefore their days were consumed in vanity, and suddenly their years were gone.
When he slew them, they sought him, and turned them early unto God.
They thought then that God was their *succoure, and that the high God was their redeemer.
Nevertheless they did but flatter him with their mouths, and disassembled with him in their tongues. For their heart was not whole with him, neither continued they in his covenant.
But he was so merciful, that he forgave their misdeeds, and destroyed them not.
Yee, Yee, many a time turned he his wrath away, and would not *suffer his whole displeasure to arise. For he considered that they were but flesh: even a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.
How many a time have they provoked him in the desert?
They turned back, and tempted God, and moved the holy one in Israel.
They thought not of his hand, in the day when he delivered them from the hand of the enemy. How he had wrought his miracles in Egypt, and his wonders in the land of Zoan. How he turned their waters to blood, so that they might not drink of the rivers.
He sent lice among them, to eat them up, and frogs to destroy them.
He gave their fruits unto the caterpillar, and their labor unto the grasshopper.
How he beat down their vineyards with hail stones, and their mulberry trees with the frost. How he smote their cattle with hail stones, and their flocks with hot thunderbolts.
How he sent upon them the fury of his wrath, anger and displeasure: with trouble and falling in of evil angels. When he made a way to his fearful indignation, and spared not their souls from death, yee and gave their cattle over to the pestilence.
When he smote all the firstborn in Egypt, the most principal and mightest in the dwellings of *Ham.
But as for his own people, he led them forth like sheep, and carried them in the wilderness like a flock. He brought them out safely, that they should not fear, and overwhelmed their enemies with the sea. He carried them unto the borders of his Sanctuary: even in to this hill, which he purchased with his right hand.
He did cast out the Heathen before them, caused their land to be divided among them for an heritage, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.
For all this they tempted and displeased the most high God, and kept not his covenant. But turned their backs, and fell away like their forefathers, starting aside like a broken bow. And so they grieved him with their high places, and provoked him with images.
When God heard this, he was wroth, and took sore displeasure with Israel.
So that he forsook the Tabernacle in Silo, even his habitation wherein he dwelt among men. He deliver their power into captivity, and their glory into the enemys hand.
He gave his people over to the sword, for he was wroth with his heritage.
The fire consumed their young men, and their maidens were not given to marriage.
Their priests were slain with the sword, and there were no widows to make lamentation.
So the Lord awakened as one out of sleep, and like a giant refreshed with wine.
He smote his enemies in the hinder parts, and put them to a perpetual shame.
He refused the Tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim.
Nevertheless, he chose the tribe of Judah, even the hill of Sion which he loved.
And there he builded his temple on high, and layed the foundation of it like the ground, that it might perpetually endure.
He chose David also his servant, and took him away from the sheepfolds.
As he was following the ewes great with young, he took him, that he might feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.
So he fed them with a faithful and true heart, and ruled them with all the diligence of his power.

the Prophet Esai 59 (Isaiah if of the latinists) Behold, the Lords hand is not so shortened that it cannot help, neither is his ear so stopped that it may not hear. But your misdeeds have separated you from your God, and your sins hide his face from you, that he heareth you not. For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with unrighteousness: Your lips speak leasings, and your tongue setteth out wickedness. No man regardeth righteousness, and no man judgeth truly. Every man hopeth in vain things, and imagineth deceit, conceiveth weariness, and bringeth forth evil. They breed cockatrice eggs, and weave the spiders web. Whoso eateth of their eggs dieth. But if one treadeth upon them. there cometh up a serpent. Their web maketh no cloth and they may not cover themselves with their labors. Their deeds are the deeds of wickedness, and the work of robbery is in their hands. Their feet run to evil, and they make hast to shed innocent blood. Their counsels are wicked counsels, harm and destruction are in their ways. But the way of peace they know not. In their goings is there no equity, their ways are so *crocked that whosoever goeth therin, knoweth nothing of peace.
And this is the cause that equity is so far from us, and the righteousness cometh not nye, us. We look for light, lo, it is darkness: for the morning shine, see, we walk in the dark. We grope like the blind upon the wall, we grope even as one that hath none eyes. We stumble at the noon day as though it were toward night: in the falling places, like men that are half dead. We roar all like Bears, and mourn still like doves. We look for equity, but there is none: for health , but it is far from us. For our offenses are many before thee, and our sins testify against us. Yee we must confess that we offend, and knowledge that we do amiss: Namely transgress and disassemble against the Lord, and fall away from our God: using presumptuous and traitorous imaginations, and casting false matters in our hearts. And therefore is equity gone aside, and righteousness standeth far off: truth is fallen down in the street, and the thing that is plain and open, may not be showed. Yee the truth is laid in prison, and he that refraineth him self from evil, must be spoiled.
When the Lord saw this, it displeased him sore, that there was no where any equity. He saw also, that there was no man, which had pity thereof, or was grieved at it. And he held him by his own power, and cleaved to his own righteousness. He put righteousness upon him for a breast plate, and a fiery helmet of health upon his head. He put on wrath in stead of clothing, and took jealousy about him for a cloak: ( like as when a man goeth forth wrathfully to recompense his enemies, and to be avenged of his adversaries. ) Namely, that he might recompense and reward the Islands where through the name of the Lord might be feared, from the rising Sun: and his majesty, unto the going down of the same.
For he shall come as a violent water stream, which the wind of the Lord hath moved. But unto Sion there shall come a redeemer, and unto them in Jacob that turn from wickedness, sayeth the Lord. I will make this covenant with them, ( saith the Lord): My spirit that is come upon thee, and the words which I have put in thy mouth, shall never go out of thy mouth, nor out the mouth of thy childrens children, from this time forth for evermore.
*crocked (crooked or a crock of ; like unto a bedroom chamber pot )
the Prophet Jeremie 9 O Who will give my head water enough, and a well of tears for mine eyes: that I might weep night and day, for the slaughter of my people? Would God that I had a cottage some where far from folk, that I might leave my people, and go from them: for they be all *advoutrers and a shrinking sort. They bend their tongues like bows, to shoot out lies: As for the truth, they may nothing away with all in the world. For they go from one wickedness to another, and hold nothing of me, sayeth the Lord.
Yee one must keep himself from another, no man may safely trust his own brother: for one brother undermineth another, and one neighbor begileth another. Yee one dissesembleth with another, and they deal with no truth. They have practiced their tongues to lie, and taken great pains to do mischief. They have set their stole in the midest of deceit, and for very disassembling falsehood they will not know me, sayeth the Lord.
Therefore thus saith the Lord of Hosts: behold, I will melt them, and try them, for what should I do else to my people? Their tongues are like sharp arrows, to speak disceate. With their mouth they speak peaceably to their neighbor, but privately they lay wait for him. Should I not punish them for these things, sayeth the Lord? Or should I not be avenged of any such people as this? Upon the mountains will I take up a lamentation and sorrowful cry, and a mourning upon the fair plains of the wilderness: Namely, how they are so burnt up, that no man goeth there any more: Yee a man shall not hear one beast cry there.
Birds and cattle are all gone from thence. I will make Jerusalem also an heap of stones, and a den of venomous worms. And I will make the cities of Judah so waste, that no man shall dwell therin. What man is so wise, as to understand this? Or to whom hath the Lord spoken by mouth, that he may show this, and say: O thou land, why perisheth thou so? Wherefore art thou burnt up, and like a wilderness, that no man goeth through? Yee the Lord himself told the same unto them, that forsook his law, and kept not the thing that he had given them in the commandment, neither lived thereafter: but followed the wickedness of their own hearts, and served strange gods, as their fathers had taught them.
Therefore, thus sayeth the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will feed this people with worm wood, and give them gall to drink. I will scatter them also among the heathen, whom neither they ner their fathers have known: and I will send a sword among them, to persecute them, until I bring them to naught. Moreover, thus saith the Lord of Hosts: look that ye call for mourning wives, and send for wise men: that they come shortly, and sing a mourning song of you: that the tears may fall out of our eyes, and that our eye lids may gush out of water.
For there is a lamentable noise heard of Sion: O how are we so sore destroyed? O how are we so piteously confounded? We must forsake our own natural country, and we are shot out of our own lodgings. Yet hear the word of the Lord ( O ye women ) and let your ears regard the words of his mouth: that ye may learn your daughters to mourn, and that every one may teach her neighbouress, to make lamentation. Namely thus: Death is climbing up in at our windows, he is come into our houses, to destroy the child before the door, and the young man in the street.
But tell thou plainly, thus saith the Lord: The dead bodies of them shall lay upon the ground, as the dung upon the field, and as the hay after the mower, and there shall be no man to take them up. Moreover, thus saith the Lord: Let not the wise man rejoice in his wisdom, ner the strong man in his strength, neither the rich man in his riches: But who so will rejoice, let him rejoice in this, that he understandeth, and knoweth me: for I am the Lord, which do mercy, equity and righteousness upon the earth. Therefore have I pleasure in such things, saith the Lord. Behold, the time cometh, ( saith the Lord ) that I will visit all them, whose foreskin is uncircumcised. The Egyptians, the Jews, the Edomites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, and the shaven Madianites, that dwell in the wilderness. For all the Gentiles are uncircumcised in the flesh, but all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in the heart.

First Book of Machabees 13 ( Hebrew book excluded from most "bibles of men") Now when Simon heard that Tryphon gathered a great Host, to come into the land of Juda, and to destroy it, And saw that the people was in great fearfulness and care: He came up to Jerusalem, and gathered the people together, and gave them exhortation, saying: Ye know what great battles I and my brethren, and my fathers house, have stricken for the law and the Sanctuary, and what manner of troubles we have seen: Through occasion whereof, all my brethren are slain for Israels sake, and I am left alone. And now let me not spare mine own life in any manner of trouble, for I am no better than my brethren: but will avenge my people and the Sanctuary, our children and our wives: for all the Heathen are gathered together to destroy us of very malice.
In these words the hearts of the people were kindled together, so that they cried with a loud voice, saying: Thou shalt be our captain instead of Judas and Jonathas thy brother, order thou our battle, and whatsoever thou commandest us, we shall do it. So he gathered all the men of war, making haste to finish the walls of Jerusalem, which he made strong round about. Then sent he Jonathas the son of Absolomus with a fresh host unto Joppa, which drove them out that were in the castle, and remained there himself. Tryphon also removed from Ptolemais with a great army, to come into the land of Juda, and Jonathas with him in ward. And Simon pitched his tents at Addus before the plain field.
But when Tryphon knew that Simon stood up instead of his brother Jonathas, and that he would war against him: he sent messengers unto him, saying: Whereas we have kept Jonathas thy brother, it is for money that he is owing in the kings *accompte, concerning the business that he had in hand. Wherefore send now an hundred talents of silver, and his two sons for surety, that when he is let forth he shall not forsake us: and we shall send him again. Nevertheless Simon knew, that he disassembled in his words: yet commanded he the money and the children to be delivered unto him: least he should be the greater enemy against the people of Israel, and said: because he sent him not the money and the children, therefore is Jonathas dead.
So Simon sent him the children and an hundred talents, but he dissembled and would not let Jonathas go. Afterward came Tryphon into the land, to destroy it, and went round about by the way, that leadeth unto Adora: But wheresoever they went, thither went Simon and his host also. Now they that were in the castle, sent messengers unto Tryphon, that he should make haste to come by the wilderness, and to send them victuals: And Tryphon made ready all his horsemen to come that same night. Nevertheless it was a very great snow, so that he came not in Galaadithim. And when he drew nye Baschama, he slew Jonathas and his sons there, and then turned for to go into his own land.
Then sent Simon for to set his brothers dead corpse, and buried it in Modin his fathers city. So all Israel bewailed him with great lamentation, and mourned for him very long. And Simon made upon the sepulchre of his father and his brethren a building high to look unto of free stone behind and before: and set up *seven pillars, one against another,( for his father, and his mother, and four brethren ) and set great pillars round about, with arms upon them for a perpetual memory, and carved ships beside the arms: that they might be seen of men sailing in the sea.
Now Tryphon went forth to walk with the young king Antiochus, he slew him treacherously, and he reigned in his stead, crowned himself king of Asia, and did much evil in the land. Simon also built up the castles in Jewry, making them strong with high towers, great walls, ports, and locks, and laid up victuals in the strongholds. And Simon chose certain men, and sent them to king Demetrius: to desire him, that he would discharge the land from all bondage, for Tryphon had spoiled it very sore. Where upon Demetrius the king answered him, and wrote unto him after this manner.
Demetrius the king sendeth greeting unto Simon the high priest his friend, with the elders and people of the Jews. The golden crown and precious stone that ye sent unto us, have we received: and are ready to make a steadfast peace with you, yea and to write unto our officers, for to release you, concerning the things wherein we made you free: and the and the appointment that we make with you shall be firm and stable. The strong holds which ye have builded, shall be your own. As for any over sight or fault committed unto this day, we forgive it, and the crown tax that ye ought us also. And where as was any other tribute in Jerusalem, it shall now be no tribute: And look who are *mete among you to be in our court, let them be written up, that there may be peace betwixt us.
Thus the yoke of the Heathen was taken from Israel, in the hundred and seventieth year. And the people of the Jews began to write in their letters and acts on this manner. In the first year of Simon the high priest, and prince of the Jews.
In those days went Simon unto Gaza, and besieged it round about, where he set up ordinance of war. And won a tower which he took. So they gat into the tower leapt in the city, which was in a great fear: Insomuch that the people of the city rent their clothes, and climbed up upon the walls with their wives and children, beseeching Simon to be at one with them: saying:
O' reward us not after our wickedness, but be gracious unto us, and we shall do thee service. Then Simon for very pity, would fight no more against them, but put them out of the city, and caused the houses ( wherein the Images were ) to be cleansed: and so entered the city with Psalms of praise, giving thanks unto the Lord. (kjv leaves out thanks unto the Lord) So when he had cast all abominations out of the city, he set much men in it as to keep the law of **God and made the city strong and builded a dwelling place for himself.
Now when they in the castle at Jerusalem were kept so straightly, that they could not come forth, ner into the country, and might neither buy nor sell: they were very hungry, and many of them famished to death: In so much that they besought Simon to be at one with them, which he granted them. So he had put them out from thence, and cleansed the castle from filthiness. And upon the twenty third day of the second month in the hundred seventy first year they entered into it with thanksgiving and branches of palm trees, with harps, *crowdes, cymbals, and*lutes, singing psalmes, and songs of praise unto God, for that the great enemy of Israel was over come.
And Simon ordained that same day should be kept every year in gladness, and made strong the hill of the temple that was beside the castle, where he dwelt himself with his company. Simon also perceiving that Jhon his son was a mighty man of arms, made him captain of all the hosts, and caused him to dwell at Gaza.

Second Book of Machabees 6 ( Hebrew book excluded from most "bibles of men") Not long after this, sent the king a messenger of *Antioche, for to compel the Jews to alter the ordinances of their fathers and the law of God, to defile the temple that was in Jerusalem, and to call it the temple of Jupiter Olympius: and that they should be in Garizim, as those which dwell at the place of Jupiter the *herberous. This wicked sedition of the ungodly was heavy upon all the people: for the temple was full of voluptuousness, *bibbing and *boiling of the Heathen, of *ribauds and harlots together. The women went into the holy place, and bare in that was not lawful. The altar also was full of unlawful things, which the law forbiddeth to lay upon it. The Sabbaths were not kept, the other solemn feasts of the land were not regarded. To be plain, there durst no man be a known that he was a Jew. In the day of the kings birth they were compelled *parforce to offer: and when the feast of Bach was kept, they were constrained to wear garlands of ivy, and so to go about for the honor of Bachus.
Moreover through the counsel of Ptolemy, there went out a commandment in the next cities of the Heathen, that they should entreat the Jews in like manner: namely, to compel them for to do sacrifice after the laws of the Gentiles: and who so would not, to put them to death. A piteous thing was it to see. There were two women accused to have circumcised their sons, whom when they had led round about the city ( the babies hanging from their breasts ) they cast them down headlong over the walls. Some that were crept in to dens and kept the Sabath, were accused unto Philippe, and burnt in the fire: because that for the fear of God they kept the commandment so stiffly, and would not defend themselves. Now I beseech all those that read this book, that they refuse it not for all these falls of adversity: and judge the things ( that are happened ) for no destruction, but for a chastening of our people. And why? When God suffereth not sinners long to follow their own mind, but *shorthly, it is a token of his great loving kindness. For this grace have we of God more than other people, that he suffereth not us long to sin unpunished like other nations, that when the day of judgement cometh, he may punish them in the fullness of their sins. If we sin, he correcteth us, but he never withdraweth his mercy from us: and though he punish with adversity, yet doth he never forsake his people. But let this that we have spoken now with few words, be for a warning and exhortation of the Heathen. Now will we come to the declaring of the matter. Eleazar one of the principal Scribes, an aged man and of a well favored countenance, was constrained to gape with open mouth and to eat swines flesh. But he *desiring rather to die gloriously than to live with shame, he offered himself willingly to the martyrdom. Now when he saw that he must needs go to it, he took it patiently: for he was at a point with himself, that he would consent to no unlawful thing for any pleasure of life. They that stood by being moved with pity ( but not aright) for the old friendship of the man, took him aside privately, and prayed him that he would let such flesh be brought him as were lawful to eat, and then to make a countenance as though he had eaten the flesh of the sacrifice like as the king commanded, for so he might be delivered from death: and so for the old friendship of the man, they showed him this kindness. But he began to consider his discreet and honorable age, his noble and worshipful *stoke, and how that from his youth up he had been of an honest and good conversation: yee and how constantly he had kept the ordinances and laws commanded by God, wherefore he gave them this answer, and said: Yet had I rather first be laid in my grave. For it becometh not my age ( sayeth he) in any wise to disassemble, whereby many young persons might think, that Eleazar being ninety years old were now gone to a strange life: and so through mine hippocracy ( for a little time of *a transitory life ) they might be deceived: by this means also should I defile mine age, and make it abominable. For though I were now delivered from the torment of men, yet should I not escape the hand of almighty God, neither alive or dead. Wherefore I will die manfully, and do as it becometh my age: Whereby I may peradventure leave an example of steadfastness for such as be young, if I with a ready mind and manfully die an honest death, for the most worthy and holy law.
When he had said these words, immediately he was drawn to the torment. Now they that led him and were mild alittle afore, began to take displeasure because of the words that he said: for they thought he had spoken them of a high mind. But when he was in his martyrdom, he mourned and said : Thou ( O' Lord ) which hast the holy knowledge, knowest openly: that where as I might be delivered from death, I suffer these sore pains of my body: but in my mind I am well content to suffer them, because I fear thee. Thus this man died, leaving the memorial of his death for an example, not only to young men, but unto all people, to be steadfast and manly.
