AndG1161 AlexanderG223 beckonedG2678 with the handG5495, and wouldG2309 have made his defenceG626 to the peopleG1218. 34ButG1161 when they knewG1921 thatG3754 he wasG2076 a JewG2453, allG3956G1096 withG1537 oneG3391 voiceG5456 aboutG5613 the spaceG1909 of twoG1417 hoursG5610 cried outG2896, GreatG3173 is DianaG735 of the EphesiansG2180. 35AndG1161 when the townclerkG1122 had quietedG2687 the peopleG3793, he saidG5346, Ye menG435 of EphesusG2180, whatG5101G1063 manG444 is thereG2076 thatG3739 knowethG1097 notG3756 that the cityG4172 of the EphesiansG2180 isG5607 a worshipperG3511 of the greatG3173 goddessG2299 DianaG735, andG2532 of the image which fell down from JupiterG1356?2 36SeeingG5607 thenG3767 that these thingsG5130 cannot be deniedG368, yeG5209 oughtG1163G2076 to beG5225 quietG2687, andG2532 to doG4238 nothingG3367 rashlyG4312. 37ForG1063 ye have brought hereG71 theseG5128 menG435, who are neitherG3777 robbers of templesG2417, nor yetG3777 blasphemersG987 of yourG5216 goddessG2299. 38ThereforeG3303G3767 ifG1487 DemetriusG1216, andG2532 the craftsmenG5079 who are withG4862 himG846, haveG2192 a matterG3056 againstG4314 any manG5100, the lawG60 is openG71, andG2532 there areG1526 deputiesG446: let them accuseG1458 one anotherG240.3 39ButG1161 ifG1487 ye enquireG1934 any thingG5100 concerningG4012 other mattersG2087, it shall be determinedG1956 inG1722 a lawfulG1772 assemblyG1577.4 40ForG1063G2532 we are in dangerG2793 to be called in questionG1458 forG4012 this day’sG4594 uproarG4714, there beingG5225 noG3367 causeG158 byG4012 whichG3739 we mayG1410 giveG591 an accountG3056 of thisG5026 riotous gatheringG4963. 41AndG2532 when he hadG2036 thusG5023 spokenG2036, he dismissedG630 the assemblyG1577.
