2 Maccabees 11:22 Context

²⁰But of the particulars I haue giuen order, both to these, & the other that came from me, to commune with you. ²¹Fare ye wel. The hundred & eight and fortie yeere, the foure and twentie day of the moneth Dioscorinthius. ²²Now the kings letter conteined these words, King Antiochus vnto his brother Lysias sendeth greeting. ²³Since our father is translated vnto þ^e gods, our will is, that they that are in our realme liue quietly, that euery one may attend vpon his own affaires. ²⁴Wee vnderstand also that the Iewes would not consent to our father for to bee brought vnto the custome of the Gentiles, but had rather keepe their owne manner of liuing: for the which cause they require of vs that we should suffer thē to liue after their own lawes.
