Eusebius. §Obiection.But I will direct and lead you well. 1Give ear then unto that which is written of Judas Maccabeus, ⟨image 220⟩who sent to Jerusalem two thousand Drachmas of stluer, for to be offered for a sacrifice for the sins of those which were dead. In which place he did well and right. For he had some consideration and pondering of the life that is after this time. For if he had not thought that those which were slain did yet live, it had been super fluous and vain to make any vow or sacrifice for them that were dead. But for so much as he saw that they which dyed in the favour and belief of God, are in good rest & joy, he thought it to be good and honourable for a reconciling, to do the same for those which were slain, that the offence might be forgiven. Is it possible to find a text more clearer? Wherefore did Judas Maccabeus send such a sum of Silver the number of two thousand Drachmas 2which are worth a thousand and two hundred Crowns, if we account them after our money, if he had not been certain, that the offerings and prayers of the lining did profit the dead?

Is it possible to finde a terte more cléerer? Wherfore did Iudas Macchabeus send such a summe of Siluer ye number of two thousand Dragmas
