3 I| thirteen days the three kings came to him the way like
4 I| above them showed him to the kings. And that day twenty-nine
5 I| Lord was born, the three kings came into Jerusalem, of
6 I| Chrysostom calleth these kings Magos, as wicked and evil-doers.
7 I| first reason is that, the kings had knowledge of the nativity
8 I| believe it not. And the kings showed to them the time,
9 I| their curiosity, for these kings believed one only prophet,
10 I| not their own king. These kings came from far countries,
11 I| neighbours fast by. These kings were successors of Balaam,
12 I| which spake to these three kings saying: Go ye hastily into
13 I| which was given to the three kings, which yet were paynims
14 I| which appeared to the three kings in the form of a star, which
15 I| and after appeared to the kings, but to the shepherds, Jews,
16 I| it went alway before the kings in manner of one going in
17 I| in the way. And when the kings were issued out of Jerusalem,
18 I| manners of stars that these kings saw. The first is material,
19 I| the stars give virtue, the kings joy, and the followers of
20 I| noble, and right rich. O ye kings, what do ye? Ye worship
21 I| Herod is persecuted and the kings worship the child. The pharisees
22 I| the cause wherefore these kings offered these gifts, many
23 I| without corruption. And the kings when they were admonished
24 I| and worship the King of kings in their proper persons,
25 I| day showed him to these kings and at his baptism, where
26 I| him in the second book of Kings: He is like as that most
27 I| this he was also King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He was
28 I| for there shall we all be kings. Of the profit speaketh
29 I| to flee; for like as the kings have in battles tokens and
30 I| for the church, for the kings, and for the people. But
31 I| signified in the book of Kings, the viii. chapter, when
32 I| it is read in the book of Kings: Jeroboam did do make two
33 I| chapter of the book of Kings that he burnt the house
34 I| in that land, that four kings warred again other five
35 I| warred again other five kings, which were of Sodom, Gomorrah
36 I| and other. And the four kings overthrew the five and slew
37 I| among them, and slew the kings, and rescued Lot and all
38 I| increase most abundantly; kings and princes shall come of
39 I| increase into nations, and kings of peoples shall come of
40 I| nations shall come of thee, kings shall come of thy loins.

42 I| literally in the Hebrew (2 Kings xxv. ) 'chief of the slayers,'
43 II| unto the histories of the kings, which is read in holy church
44 II| August is read the Book of Kings. ~This history maketh mention
45 II| from the hands of all the kings that were your enemies and
46 II| again unto him and other kings were aiding and helping

52 II| magnified above all the kings of the world in riches and
53 II| chosen. And after this divers kings became adversaries to Solomon,
54 II| was ever after between the kings of Judah and the kings of
55 II| the kings of Judah and the kings of Israel. And so reigned
56 II| Israel. And so reigned divers kings each after other in Jerusalem
57 II| make an end of the book of Kings for this time etc. For ye
58 II| dwell therein, and all the kings of the earth shall joy in

63 II| after this came the three kings in to Jerusalem, and demanded
64 II| the true lineage of the kings of the Jews, and that he
65 II| had demanded of the three kings how they had had knowledge
