Esth 3:8 · Douay-Rheims
“And Aman said to king Assuerus: There is a people scattered through all the provinces of thy kingdom, and separated one from another, that use new laws and ceremonies, and moreover despise the king’s ordinances: and thou knowest very well that it is not expedient for thy kingdom that they should grow insolent by impunity.”
On this verse:
“and...the king’s laws to give taxes for the king’s work. it is of no use There is no apprehension; there is no profit.”
