     Claudius forgets, that when the Bryttiſh Ile / Scarce knew the meaning of a ſtrangers march, / Great Iulius Ceſar, fortunate in armes, / Suffred three baſe repulſes from the Cliffes / Of chalky Douer: / And had not Bryttayne to her ſelfe prou’d falſe, / Ceſar and all his Army had beene toombde / In the vaſt boſome of the angry ſea.

     ; preſſing in particular, his forbidding to give Tribute to Ceſar; and ſaying that he himſelf was Chriſt a King. An accuſation, in the ſence they intended it, and as it might any way intrench upon Ceſars rights, very falſe. For, as for Tribute, he had both actually before paid it, when demanded of him, to Ceſar, Mat. 17. 26. and alſo being asked by them (the Phariſees joined with the Herodians Mat. 22. 16.) the queſtion about the lawfulneſs of it, but two or three daies before his apprehenſion, on purpoſe (ſaith the Evangeliſt Luk. 20. 21.) that they might take hold of his words, that ſo they might deliver him into the power of the Roman-Governour, he affirmed it, and utterly ſilenced them with that divinely prudent anſwer of his, Reddite quæ ſunt Cæſaris Cæſari, & que ſunt Dei Deo, that they ſhould give to Ceſar Ceſars Coine.
