SAdoch of the lyne of Cryste / is nombred in Math. primo / but in scrypture there is nomore mencyon ma∣de of hym. ¶Iadus the sone of Iohn̄ was hyghe bysshop in Ierusalem / this tyme kynge Alexander regned / the whi¦che was wothe with the people of Ie∣rusalem / and came to the cyte. 〈◊〉〈◊〉
Iadus arayed in his Pontyfycall orna∣mentes came to mete hȳ. And he sodeyn¦ly was pleased & worshyped the bysshop & with peas & Ioye entred the cyte. And he made to be brought to hȳ the boke of Daniel / & the prophecy to be expowned to hym y• whiche was spoken of hȳ. And y• done he Ioyed strongly. For all thynge the whiche he had herde by the dreme in due ordre was fulfylled. And it was ly∣kely to hym yt he sholde be the same per¦sone of whom Daniell prophecyed / & of y• he toke more hardynes to fyght with Dari{us} kynge of Perse / & dyde the sacre∣fyce / & badde y• Iewes to aske what they wolde haue / & he graūted yt they sholde kepe theyr owne lawes / & at the .vij. ye¦re sholde be without trybute (vid mgfm in histo) ¶The hoste of Alexander as Drosi{us} sayth was .xxxij.M. of foot men & .iiij.M. horsmen / & shyppes .C.lxxx. And it is vncertayne whether it is most meruaylle / yt he sholde conquere all the worlde with so lytell a power / or how y• euer he durst go vpon them with so ly∣tell a power. And ther was of Alexander & his hoste slayne the kynge of Persa{rum}. (Et vt orosi{us} dicit qnqutes decies cente∣na milia) ¶Encas y• sone of Iady was bysshop after his fader. Manilius Pa∣pirius and Fabius were consules at Ro¦me. This Papirius whan he was a chil¦de he was very wyse / and he feyned ma¦ny a fayre lesynge / that he myght ke∣pe his maysters counsell and the Sena¦tours. And whan he came vnto mannes state / he was so noble a warryour / that whan the Romayns dradde Alexander he was chosen for to go ayenst hym. And of the goddes he charged not / but he scorned and reproued the goddes / sayen¦ge afore y• vnhappy thynge sholde falle And that to his grete louynge holy do∣ctours saye.
