Neither shall he regard] He shall disanull his own ancient religion. 1 Mac. 1. 43. nor the desire of women] Antiochus shall be so rigorous in his superstition, that he shall not suffer any of his women, whereof he shall have many, and among the rest one a Jew, to use their own religion, as other kings had done, 1 Kings 11:4. &1 Kings 3:31. Others refer this to the crueltie of this kings heart, who would never be moved by any naturall affection. Unlesse the sinne against nature be here meant. The Pope in another kinde regardeth not the desire of women, to wit, in forbidding marriage to the Clergie, and not suffering Monasticall vowes to be broken. See 1 Timothy 4:3.
