was again a Sedition of the Priests one against the other, in these words:
There arose also a Sedi∣tion of the chief Priests, against the Priests and the chief of the people of Jerusalem. And each of them forming for themselves a company of most audacious fellows and such as indeavoured to make innovations, behaved themselves as Ca∣ptains; and encountring they railed against each other, and threw stones at one another. There was no body to rebuke them; but, as in a City de∣stitute of a Governour, these things were licen∣tiously done. And so great impudence and pre∣sumptuous boldness possessed the chief Priests, that they dared to send their servants to the thre∣shing floors, and take the Tythes due to the Priests. Whence it came to pass that the poorest of the Priests were seen to perish for want of sustenance. In such sort did the violence of the Seditious prevail over all justice and equity.And again the same writer relates that at the same time there arose a sort of theeves in Jerusalem, who in the day time, as he says, and in the very midst of the City, killed those they met with; but especially on the Festivals, being mixt among the croud, and hiding little daggers under their garments, they stab'd the most eminent a 1.1 Perso∣nages; and when they fell, these murtherers would dissemble themselves to be of the number of those that grieved. Whereby they were undiscovered, because of the good opinion all men had of them. And first, he says, Jonathan the High Priest was killed by them, and after him many were slain daily, and he says, the fear was more grievous than the calamity, in that every one, as in war, hourly expected death.
