2 Maccabees 2:28 Context
26Therefore to vs that haue taken vpon vs this paineful labour of abridging, it was not easie, but a matter of sweat, and watching. 27Euen as it is no ease vnto him, that prepareth a banquet, and seeketh the benefit of others: yet for the pleasuring of many we will vndertake gladly this great paines: 28Leauing to the authour the exact handling of euery particular, and labouring to follow the rules of an abridgement. 29For as the master builder of a new house, must care for the whole building: but hee that vndertaketh to set it out, and paint it, must seeke out fit things for the adorning thereof: euen so I thinke it is with vs. 30To stand vpon euery point, and goe ouer things at large, and to be curious in particulars, belongeth to the first authour of the storie.
