2. Lastly, neither the kingdomes, nor kings that are Christians, or _Hagarens_, or followers of other Sects are cursed here, but namely the kingdome of Pride. Certain it is that in that time (wherein, our wise men added to the daily Prayers the foresaid Chapter) there was no kingdome of Christians, what therefore that kingdome of pride was, should any man ask, who can plainly shew it? So much as we can conjecture by it, it is the kingdome of the _Romans_ which then flourished, which did rule over all Nations tyrannically and proudly, especially over the _Iewes_. For, after that, _Vespasian_, with his son _Titus_, had dissipated all _Iudea_. And though som _Roman_ Emperours after that became Christians, or had a good opinion of Christianity, yet the kingdome of the _Romans_ was heathenish, and without distinction, was proud, and tyrannicall. And however the _Iewes_ repeated the same words of the prayer when the Prince was very good, and they lived under a just government, that they did, onely of an ancient custome, without any malice to the present government. And now truly in all their books printed again, the foresaid words are wanting, lest they should now be unjustly objected against the _Iewes_; and so for _Apostates_ and _Hereticks_, they say, _secret accusers, or betrayers_ of the _Iewes_. And for the _kingdome of pride_, they substitute _all Zedim_, that is, _proud men_. 3. After this manner, to avoid scandall, did the 72 Interpreters, who coming in _Leviticus_, to unclean beasts; in the place of _Arnebeth_ which signifies the _Hare_, they put δασύποδα, that is, _rough foot_: leaving the Name, and keeping the sense. They would not retein the Hebrew word _Arnebeth_, as they have done in some other appellatives, lest the wife of _Ptolomy_ whose name was _Arnebet_, should think that the _Iewes_ had mocked her, if they should have placed her name amongst the unclean beasts. Neither would they render it λαγωὸν _lagoon_, or λαγὸν _lagon_, which in the Greek language signifies a _Hare_, lest _Ptolomy_ himself who was the son, and nephew of the _Lagi_, should be offended, to see the name of his family registred among the creatures that were unclean. Besides, _Plutarch_ records, how that it was deeply resented, as a very high affront, and contempt, when one asked _Ptolomy_, who was _Lagus_ his father, as is it scoffingly reflected upon his obscure extraction and descent.
