The same time there arose no little a do §Eabout that way. For a certain man named Demetrius / a silversmith / which made silver1 shrines for Diana / was not a little beneficial unto the crafts men. Which he called to gather with the work men of like occupation / and said: Sirs / ye know that by this craft we have vantage. Moreover ye see and hear that not alone at Ephesus / but almost through out all Asia / this Paul hath persuaded & turned away much people / saying y• they be not gods which are made with hands. So that not only this our craft cometh into peril to be set at nought: but also that y• temple of y• great goddess Diana should be despised / & her magnificence should be destroyed which all Asia / and the world worshippeth.
