No gouernor amongst the Iewes, would after the captiuitie weare the diademe and be called King, vntill Aristobulus the son of Hircanus a vertuous priest did aduance himselfe to roy∣all dignitie, and put the crowne vpon his head. But alas,* 1.1 god∣ly children do not alwayes succeede godly parents: For, not
onely Hircanus his father, but Symon also his grandfather, were very vertuous priests, gouernours of great fortitude, and zealous fauorers of the common weale; yet was this Aristobu∣lus a wicked and cruell man, hee made no account of religion, he put his owne mother and brethren in prison: and because hee feared that his vertuous brother Antigonus would take the kingdome from him, hee slew him sodainely, as Cain did his brother Abell.
Good parents haue not euer godly children.
