2 Maccabees 2:23 Context

²¹And the manifest signes that came from heauen, vnto those that behaued themselues manfully to their honour for Iudaisme: so that being but a few, they ouercame the whole country, and chased barbarous multitudes, ²²And recouered againe the Temple renowned all the world ouer, and freed the citie, and vpheld the lawes, which were going downe, the Lord being gracious vnto them with al fauour: ²³All these things (I say) being declared by Iason of Cyrene in fiue books, we will assay to abridge in one volume. ²⁴For considering the infinite number, and the difficulty, which they find that desire to looke into the narrations of the story, for the variety of þ^e matter, ²⁵We haue beene carefull, that they that will read might haue delight, and that they that are desirous to commit to memorie, might haue ease, and that all, into whose hands it comes might haue profit.
