THe Iewes dyd knowe by the prophesie of Iacob the Patriarke Gen. 4.9 that they shulde alwayes haue amongest them a ruler of their owne naciō of the tribe and familie of Iudas vnto suche tyme as Messias shulde come to delyuer them out of captiuite and bondage Wherfore they seynge their kyndome deuided into foure partes and ruled of foure Alyens and straungers appoynted by the Romaynes to haue rule and dominion ouer them dide thincke that Christ was at hande which expectation and hoope of his commyng as Origen doth saye dide greatly comfort them in soo muche that certaine factions and busie fellowes did take vppon them and pretended as they had ben christ drawynge after them much people vnder a pretence of delyueringe the Iewes out of the bondage captiuite of the Romaynes as was Theudas and Iudas Galileus Act. 5.18 Iose 1 20.4 as it doth appere in thactes of the Apostels and more at large in the Antiquites of Iosephus but they were shortly extinguished and dystroyed not withstandyng the Iewes contynuynge in their hope expectation of the commynge of Christ when they dydde se Iohn̄ Baptist appere in wyldernesse a mā the lyued after a streyght hard fashyō vsing none other delicates then the wildernesse dyd minister vnto him Apareled in homely and vnpleasaunte clothinge made of heare preachinge earnestlye vnto the people penaunce Baptisinge them in water as to prepare thē to Christe And also as Iosephus doth testifie teaching them the vse of baptisme they dyd come runnynge vnto him out of euerye place and gaue suche credence to his preceptes that many of the people thought he had bene christe Luc. 3. but that ye may more playnly perceiue both the preachinge of Iohn̄ and also the opinion of the people towardes him I shall open vnto you the testimonie of Iosephus he sayth thus 18.
