CHAPTER

In the nth year Of the independence of the
kingdom, Sardanapalus being King of Ninevch,
John being high priest in Gotham, and Nicedemus
being scribe, there ascendcd the throne of the
people man whose name was Caesar. And he
called together seven OF his wise men and set
them over tie affairs Of the realm. And on
certain day John, the high priest Of Gotham, ap-
pcarcd before Caesar and his men. And he arose
in the midst Of them and said, health, peace, and
Apostolic benedictionl There is a great prince
whose minister Lam. The same has commanded
me to speak with thee, 0 Caesar, and beseech thee
to protect his people dwelling in thy kingdom,
and should il please thee, most excellent Caesar so
to do and divide with the people Of the great
prince the better portion of the spos Of thy king
dom, he will command his people to uphold thee
with all their might. And all the wise men shout
ed for JOY, and proclaimed, ut shall be done,"
and Casar lifted up his voice and said amen. And
the servants Of the great prince were made rulers
In the better portion Of the kingdom, Sardanapa-
lus was prescribed and prosecuted, and poor Nor
dccai was cast out from the kings cato.

CHAprrR II,

reign of Cesar, that many of the captains, the
counseors, the rulers and scribes in the realm Of
Caesar, went down and feasted and drank wine
with Sardanapalus, King Of Nineveh, for he was a
great friend Of the people, but an enemy to Caesar
and his men. And many of the Phihstines and
the friends Of Caesar and the great prince were
wroth and sorely yexed, so much so that even the
hairs Of their heads stood up the quilts of por
cupine.
N And when these things came to the ears of
John, the high priest of Gotham hc called a coun-
Gil of the chief priests and elders Of his people, and
said unto them, There are certain men set over the
affairs Of Caesar who are not friends Of the great
prince. There is common report among us that
the same have been down and drank wine with
the Ninevitcs, and were drunken. i say unto you,
Beware of the eayen of the Ninevitcs for it savor-
eth not of the doctrine Of the great prince
And the chief priests appealed unto Caesar in
this matter. And Caesar called his wise men to-
gether and inquired, What meaneth this And
James, one Of the seven, answered and said unto
him, II these things are allowed the Ninevites
win come and take away our kingdom. And in
the same hour Caesar made decree, saying, that
from the going forth Of this decree, If any man of
the rulers and scribes Of my people shall be found
drinking wine with the Ninevites, he shall be cast
out Of the temple.
And Peter and James made war en- the Nine
vites, and continued it for the space of year.
But the Ninevtes waxed exceeding strong, and
multiplied as the sands of the sea- SO that the al
lied armies of the great prince, the Phistines and
the barbarians from over the sea, could not stand
before them. And Peter and James, the chief
captains Of the allies of Caesar, swore in their
wrath that the Ninevites should have no rest for
the soles Of their feet.
And when Peter and james saw that the armies
Of the Ninevites could not be overcome by open
war, they sought to destroy them, one by one, by
STRAIT gem. And they bribcd certain men called
spies, and sent them down TO Nineveh.

Andafter these things, Benedict appeared be-
fore Peter by night, and inquired Of him, Did not
the great Caesar make decree, saying-Fr From the
going forth of this decree, If any man of the
scrbes Of his people should be found drinking vino
in Nineveh, he should be cast out Of the temrle
And Peter answered and said, True, o, Benedict.
And Benedict answered and said, l have a word
with thee in this matter. There is man Of the
scribes Of thy people, whose name is Nieodemus;
and II is rumored among us that the same has been
down TO see the great beast in the palace Of the
King Of Nineveh, having the head Of man ard
the body Of lion. If can show thee, o Peter,
that this Nicodemus drank wine with tho king, de-
clare unto me, II thou wilt command him to be
csst out Of the temple, that J. Benedict, may be

CHAPTER Ill.

There was man Of the Ninevites whose name
was Benedict and surnamed arnold The same
was a scribe In the gallery Of the King Of NiDeveh
for the space Of about month. And he betrayed
the Ninevites. and sought to make friends with the
Philistines And when the King Of Nineveh called
bis council together, Benedict sought 10 enter by
stratsgem
And Peter, finding Benedict, said unto him,
Benedict, know thee 10 be man after mine own
heart. Bind ON thy sandals and depart quickly
down to Nineveh and If thou shalt find any of
the rulers and scribcs Of my people drinking wine
with the Ninevites see that thou tell me- and thou
shalt be made scribe in the temple. And stsight-
way Benedict arose and went down 10 Nineveh by
night, having in his hand lantern which is called
dark.
And when the King had called his council to-
getber and shut the door, Benedict climbed up as
a thief and entered by straiagem, and wrote down
In book all that was seen and heard in the coun-
ell. And before the day was broke, Benedict took
the book over to the camp Of the Philistines and
laid IL before Peter. And when Peter saw Il, he
quakcd with fear, and was sore amazed, and bis
knees smote together; for great multitude Of the
names Of the counsellors, rulers, and. scribes Of
Caesars domnions we're found written therein.
And !, Nicodemus, saw and heard these things.
And as Peter was reading the book, he found
therein the name Of the chief over the land estate
Of Caesar, and he laid IL down and went outsnd
wept bitterly.
And when the morrow was come, Peter entered
the door Of the private council, andinformed Cesar
bow the chief Of bis land estate had been down to
Nineveb. And Caesar and his wise men entered
the abode Of the chiefand besought him TO quietly
depart out Of their coasts.
