Стр. 78 - I was witness of; the King sitting and toying with his concubines, Portsmouth, Cleveland, Mazarin, &c.

Стр. 142 - If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.
