for why there were in Jerusalem full strong kings, which also were lords of all the country that is beyond the flood; also those kings took tribute, and toll, and rents.
But also it is commanded of me, that that behooveth to be made of those priests of Jews, that the house of God be builded; that is, that costs be given busily to those men of the ark of the king, that is, of the tributes, that be given of the country beyond the flood, lest the work be hindered.
And they began to accuse him, and said, We have found this turning upside-down our folk, and forbidding tribute to be given to the emperor [or to Caesar], and saying that himself is Christ a king [or and saying himself to be Christ king.]
he that stirreth softly, in admonishing [or in exhortation]; he that giveth, in simpleness; he that is sovereign, [or is prelate, or is before], in busyness; he that hath mercy, in gladness.
Therefore yield ye to all men debts, to whom tribute, tribute, to whom toll, [or custom for things borne about], toll, [or such custom], to whom dread, dread, to whom honour, honour.
