Matthew Poole and continuators on Acts 24:26

26 He hoped also that money should be given him of Paul, that he might loose him: wherefore he sent for him the oftner, and communed with him.

Which speaks the Charge to be true that the Historians give of Felix concerning his Covetousness, for taking hold of that part of Paul's Accusation, verse 5. that he was the Ringleader of the Sect of the Nazarenes; he supposed that there being so many Thousands of them, they would give large sums for the Life and Liberty of this their supposed Captain. This did speak Felix (according to his Birth) to be of a servile and base Spirit, that for Money could transgress the Laws of God, and the Roman Laws too.
