John Trapp on Ezra 7:19

Verſe 19. The veſſels alſo, &c.] How naturally ſeemeth this King to care for the ſervice of God! and what pity is it that he ſhould ſo oft call Him Your God, and Thy God, and not owne him for his! So hard a thing it is to relinquiſh that vaine converſation that people have received by tradition from their fathers. I will never forſake the Religion that I have received from my fore-fathers, ſaid Tully; And the Monarch of Morocco told the Engliſh Embaſſadour; that he had lately read Saint Pauls Epiſtles, and liked them ſo well, that were he now to chuſe his Religion, he would, before any other, embrace Chriſtianity. But every one ought, ſaid he, to die in his owne Religion: and the leaving of the faith wherein he was borne, was the onely thing that he diſliked in that Apoſtle.
