the man OF the house OF the WaTites
on this side, and the man Of the house
Of the Peaites on that side +; and there
was no peace between them.
8. Now, when the Sons and Daugh-
ters Of the Peaites were assembled to-
gether, at the house Of the TabernicIe,
to sing the Songs Of David, as they
we're won't to do, the Warites encom-
passed them round about, and fell
upon them even in the inner court;
10. And they had it hip and thigh,
this way and that way, up this side
and down that side, till johann, the
Upright, smote them right and left
with his staff, and drove them out of
the Tabernicle, and chased them even
to the alter erected by Barabbas, the
Topper, to offer up sacrifices unto Mo.
loch.
IL. Now, the number of the War
ties that were slain on that day by the
Peaites, and the many acts Of mighty
valor johann, the Upright, did with
his staff, are they not written in the
book Of David the lawgiver, who gave
Judgment in those days. ~
II. Now, after the Warites fed
from before the face of Jotham, the
Upright, and took hold Of the horns Of
the alter erected to Bacchus and af-
ter Barabbas the Topper possessed him
self of the spoils taken by Belteshaz-
zar from the Gothamites by Strata.
gem; and after Belteshazzar was
gathered to his fathers /; there would
have been peace between the Warites
and the Peaites, had it not been for
Judas Dogmaticus.
IS. This Judas Dogmaticus came
from the land Of Pumpkins. His
height is four cubits and span F; his
food is vingar and gall. and his raj
ment is sleeps wool and goats hair
he has a helmet of straw upon his
head, and leathern girdle about his
loins his arms are like unto bull
rushSs, and his legs are like the stalks
of corn for bigness ; and when he
stands up he looLeth like unto beam
pole sticking up in cornfeld.
IA. Now, when there was division
among the people, and they were re-
luested to choose whom they would
serve, whether the Warites or the
Peaites, Judas Dogmaticus went to the
Peaites, and lifted up his voice in the
midst Of their congregation, saying:
. | have renounced strong drink and
,urned away from the tenst of wicked
ness; now, pray let me be one Of you
and | will do you much good.
Is. So he was received and made
ruler over such Of the Peaites as could
not keep secret, which pleased him
we'll howbeit he was often found in
the shade of the tent of Barabbas the
Topper, while his little boys were bear
ing the heat of the day attending to
his crops and herds, discoursing to
him about the private affairs of the
Peaites and when he went over to
the Warites, at the battle of the Tab
ernicle, and fought for the alter of
Bacchus, he was thrust out of the sin
agogue as unworthy.
16. Now, when Barabbas, the To
per, saw that Judas Dogmaticus was
thrust out from the Peaites for bis
transgressions, he had compassion on
him, because he was man after his
own heart, and he received him with
open arms, and made him captain over
his asses, and such as bear his bur-
dens and Judas Dogmaticus bowed
his head low to Barabbas the Topper,
for his kindness, and made VOW to
be faithful to him unto death.
II. So when Barabbas tells him
to 90, he goeth and when he tells
him to come, he cometh and when
he tells him to sing bis praises, he
sings, and their hearts are knit to-
gether although Barabbas once sued
him at the law and threatened to take
