Alexander then beckened with the hande, and woulde haue excused the matter to the people. ³⁴ But when they knew that he was a Iewe, there arose a shoute almost for the space of two houres, of all men crying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians. ³⁵ Then the towne clearke when hee had stayed the people, saide, Ye men of Ephesus, what man is it that knoweth not howe that the citie of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great goddesse Diana, and of the image, which came downe from Iupiter? ³⁶ Seeing then that no man can speake against these things, ye ought to be appeased, and to doe nothing rashly. ³⁷ For yee haue brought hither these men, which haue neither committed sacrilege, neither doe blaspheme your goddesse. ³⁸ Wherefore, if Demetrius and the craftes men which are with him, haue a matter against any man, the lawe is open, and there are Deputies: let them accuse one another. ³⁹ But if ye inquire any thing cocerning other matters, it may be determined in a lawful assembly. ⁴⁰ For we are euen in ieopardie to be accused of this dayes sedition, for as much as there is no cause, whereby we may giue a reason of this concourse of people. ⁴¹ And when he had thus spoken, hee let the assembly depart.
