that untamed people to the end Of his
life. Being educated a Roman. he
added the vices As well as the tastes
of all efiete civilization to the natural
violence Of barbarous, desert race
Being Jew for policy, he was an in
triguer, a dOuble-dealer, and a hypo-
critic, who in spite Of himself outraged
the people whose religion he vainly
adopted. Born Of royal stock, and
distinguished in war, he was Justly
given the throne Of Judea, but ever
lived in jealous dread Of losing it
which dread was the motive Of Sc
res Of crimes. He is the Herod told
OF in the Bible who had the children
OF Bethlehem massacred that he might
destroy Him who should be BORN king
of the Jews. (It was his son who inn
