5And heare your prayers, and be at one with you, and neuer forsake you in time of trouble. 6And now wee be here praying for you. 7What time as Demetrius reigned, in the hundred threescore and ninth yeere, wee the Iewes wrote vnto you, in the extremitie of trouble, that came vpon vs in those yeeres, from the time that Iason and his company reuolted from the holy land, and kingdome, 8And burnt the porch, and shed innocent blood. Then we prayed vnto the Lord, and were heard: we offered also sacrifices, and fine flowre, and lighted the lampes, and set forth the loaues. 9And now see that ye keepe the feast of Tabernacles in the moneth Casleu.
