Theo. The other which were carnal and worldly men, and not true Israelites, but ⟨image 90⟩only in name, denied that Herod would not so easily leave his kingdom, and that the Romans would not suffer any other prince to reign in Judah, but themselves, and those appointed by them. Whereby they thought that there must needs be great change in Jury: and this change could not be without great wars & troubles: which should greatly trouble the common state, and so become hinderance unto them. And because they would live in quietness, they had rather remain in the state wherein they were, (tho it were miserable) then fall into those troubles, which they thought would be greater. For, they were already used to this yoke, and therefore they thought it not so heavy, as they did at the first, before they were used to it.
