We are sold by the craft and cruelty of that man, who offered a great sum of money to purchase our destruction. I and my people; for we are all given up to his malice and rage, without any exception of my own person. To be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish: she useth variety of expressions to make the deeper impression upon the king's mind. I had held my tongue, because that calamity had neither been irrecoverable, nor intolerable, nor yet unprofitable to the king, for whose honour and service I should willingly have submitted myself and people to any kind of bondage. The enemy could not countervail the king's damage; his ten thousand talents, if paid into the king's treasury, would not repair the king's loss in the customs and tributes which the king receives from the Jews within his dominions.
