Sermonē, quem locutus es nobis in nomine domini, non audiemus ex te▪ sed facientes faciemus omne verbum quod egreditur ex ore nostro ut facri ficemus reginae coeli, & libemus ei libamina: sicut fecimus nos & patres nostri, reges nostri, & prin cipes nostri in urbibus Judae, & in plateis HierusalenL & saturati sumus panibus & bene nobis erat, & malū non vidimus. That is: We will not hear the word, that thou speakest v•to us in the name of yt lord, but we will do every thing that ⟨image 127⟩shall proceed out from our own mouth, as to burn incense to the Queen of Heaven, and to offer up Drink offerings unto her, as both we have done, and our fathers, and our kings & our princes in the city of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem. For then had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and felt no evil.

We remember, when the Gospel of Christ was preached by. S. Paul at Ephesus, & the devils mouth was thereby stopped, & all his force and power taken from him, yet there was a great n ber that rose up against Paul & violently withstood his doctrine, and cried out with main voice against him, Magna est diana Ephe siorum. Great is Diana the Goddess of the Ephesians.
