 At the appointed hour, such as found not favor in the eyes of the benevolent people, whose sympathics were with the condemned, but whose purses were lean, were taken by the authorities and dealt with even as the edict of the City dads had commanded, but these things, behold are they not written in the book of Chronicles, even the records of the City parents, which change not, and may be read by all people to the end of time
