Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(36) Seeing then that these things cannot be spoken against . . .--The language of the town-clerk has the ring of an official acceptance of the established cultus rather than of any strong personal devotion. Such language has often been heard from the defenders of institutions which were almost on the verge of ruin.Ye ought to be quiet.--The verb is the same as that of the transitive "appeased" in Acts 19:35. In the exhortation "to do nothing rashly" we hear the voico of a worldly prudence, reminding us partly, as has been said, of Gamaliel, partly of the well-known maxim of Talleyrand, Surtout, point de zele.
