Eusebius libro primo capitulo vijo.

Now ȝe schun here a wikketnysse
that Heroud did at his deghing,
he commavndet his men expresse
go to the tempel for any-thing,
And brenne al bokes thai mighten finde
of Iewes store and begynnyng,
that no mon schuld haue after mynde
that before him was any keng,
for he supposet in that maner
a grete nome to wyn him i-wis,
ȝif mynde of other forȝeten were
and his nome so broȝt huppe amys,
but ȝette haden Iewes in trosory
at hoome tho bokes euerichone,
so Heroudes wiles witerly
aftur his deght ther seruet him none.
