"a. Moreover they would fain have
smote the King with the palms of their
hands, and they caught hold of the skirts
of his garments, and throwing dust IN the
air, they did mock the authority of King
Lemue!, and insult the dignity of his
crown.
| IS. And King Lemuel, with his men
of war, retired to their habitations, and
before the cock crowed, or the morning
light appeared, the habitations, OF the
Cainanites we're demolished, and the
Kings subjects were not to be found.
SO. And King Lemuel, with his men
of war, abandoned the cause ofthe Cain.
antics for time and half time, and
left them in the hands OF their enemies.
81. Now, on the second day of the
rebellion, it was rufnored in the city, that
the rebellious subjects of KiSg Lemuel
were about to assemble at even tide, at
the night watch, to attack the descen-
dants of Cain.
3S. Howbeit the weather was tenn
pestuous, and the Cainartes were not
assailed.
80. And it came to pass, that on the
third day, at the going down Of the sun,
the people began to assemble at a place
called in the Hebrew tongue, Wons Moot
which was also inhabited by harlots and
the descendants of Cain.
40. And King Lemuel assembled to-
! gether great number of men of war,
wbichwere held inreadiness at the sound
of brass cymbal, to march against the
rebellious subjects of King Lemuel, who
1t was feared were about to demolish the
habitations of the descendants of Cain. y.
Al. Aud at the eighth hour of the
watch, at even tide, the cymbal was sound
ed, and King Lemuel, with bis men OF
war, journeyed to Wons Nowy which wn.
on .he nDrth Of the bay.
40. And behold there was great
mountain, which over looked the habita.
tions of the harlots and defendants ol
Cam; and King LemueI, with his mer
of war, encamped on the plain on the
top of the mountain.
43. Now the officers of Lemuel, whs
we've endowed with authority, were the,
not William, the magistrate, and Henry
the same, who was chosen to execute til,
precepts in the northerly part of tn
realm.
Al. And William, the magistrate, pro
claimed silence, and said with lou,
voice, harken unto me, while read from
the laws of the realm, and he read tha
part ofthe book of the law, wherein j. /
written:
"And the aforesaid Justice of tn
Peace; Sheriff, or Deputy Sheriff, is here
by further empowered to require the al
of a sufficient number of persons in arms
if any Of the persons assembled are 1
arms"
As. Howbeit were any of the rehe
lious subjectsof King Lemuel found !
