7Therfore I being depriued of mine ancestors honor (I meane the hie Priesthood) am now come hither. 8First verily for the vnfained care I haue of things pertaining to the king, and secondly, euen for that I intend the good of mine owne countrey men: for all our nation is in no small misery, through the vnaduised dealing of them aforesaid. 9Wherefore, O king, seeing thou knowest all these things, bee carefull for the countrey, and our nation, which is pressed on euery side, according to the clemency that thou readily shewest vnto all. 10For as long as Iudas liueth, it is not possible that the state should be quiet. 11This was no sooner spoken of him, but others of the kings friends being malitiously set against Iudas, did more incense Demetrius.
