28 When they hearde these sayinges, they were full of wrathe, & cryed out, sayinge. Greate is Diana of the Ephesians.
29 And al the cytie was on a rore, and they russhed into the comen hall with one assent, & caught Gaius and Aristarcus, men of Macedonia, Pauls companions.
30 When Paul wolde haue entred in vnto the people, the dysciples suffred hym not.
31 But certayne of the chefe of Asia (which were his frendes) sent vnto him, desyrynge him, that he wolde not preace into the comen hall.

39 But yf ye goo aboute eny other thynge, it shall be determined in a lawfull congregacyon.
40 For we are in ieopardy to be accused of thys dayes vproure, for as moche as ther is no cause, wherby we maye geue a rekenynge of thys concourse of people.
41 And when he had thus spoken, he let the congregacion departe.
