⁴⁴ And that it should not be lawful for any of the people, or of the priests, to disannul any of these things, or to gainsay his words, or to call together an assembly in the country without him: or to be clothed with purple, or to wear a buckle of gold:

⁴⁵ And whosoever shall do otherwise, or shall make void any of these things shall be punished.

⁴⁶ And it pleased all the people to establish Simon, and to do according to these words.
