[258]
There was also another body of wicked men gotten together, not so
impure in their actions, but more wicked in their intentions, which laid
waste the happy state of the city no less than did these murderers. These
were such men as deceived and deluded the people under pretense of Divine
inspiration, but were for procuring innovations and changes of the government;
and these prevailed with the multitude to act like madmen, and went before
them into the wilderness, as pretending that God would there show them
the signals of liberty. But Felix thought this procedure was to be the
beginning of a revolt; so he sent some horsemen and footmen both armed,
who destroyed a great number of them.
