John Trapp on Matthew 2:22

Verse 22. But when he heard that Archelaus] Neither good egge, nor good bird, as they say. Caracalla, (saith Dio) nihil [illegible: 1 word] boni, quia id non didicerat, quod ipse fatebatur: never thought of any good, for he had never learned it. No more had this Archelaus. Pope Paul the third, when his sonne Farnesis had committed an unspeakable violence on the Person of Cosmus Chaerius Bishop of Fanum, aud then poisoned him, held himself excused, that he could say, Haec vitia, me non [illegible: 1 word], didicit: He never learned this of the father. But Archelaus though he could never attaine to his fathers craft, yet he had learnt his cruelty. Feirce he was, but foolish; savage, but silly, a slug, a [illegible: 1 word], an evil beast: wherefore the Jews soone rebelled against him; and Augustus (after ten yeares abuse of his authority) [illegible: 1 word] him to Vienna, or, as others say, to Lions in France: setting up in his stead his brother Herod, the same that derided and set at [illegible: 1 word] our Saviour at his passion, as St Hierome writeth.
