translate_v be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o if_o the_o translation_n than_o the_o original_n for_o what_o ever_o be_v the_o instrument_n to_o convert_v the_o soul_n must_v needs_o be_v the_o pure_a word_n of_o god_n some_o be_v firm_a that_o god_n never_o work_v a_o miracle_n but_o to_o confirm_v truth_n this_o be_v past_a question_n that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v never_o work_v this_o

it_o be_v indeed_o and_o truth_n the_o very_a word_n of_o god_n and_o none_o of_o this_o be_v do_v otherwise_o then_o by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n itself_o and_o the_o spirit_n join_v with_o the_o

have_v wrought_v in_o i_o therefore_o i_o know_v by_o this_o that_o the_o scripture_n translate_v be_v the_o word_n 19_o of_o god_n sith_o nothing_o but_o god_n word_n can_v turn_v and_o convert_v the_o soul_n make_v the_o most_o of_o that_o which_o some_o call_v universal_a tradition_n it_o can_v bring_v we_o no_o far_o than_o a_o human_a belief_n little_o better_o be_v it_o then_o that_o which_o the_o papist_n call_v the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n the_o ministry_n of_o the_o church_n we_o grant_v needful_a and_o useful_a but_o for_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n we_o

prophet_n own_o hand_n those_o be_v not_o then_o extant_a nor_o when_o extant_a to_o be_v see_v of_o everybody_o what_o then_o when_o he_o bid_v they_o search_v the_o scripture_n he_o must_v needs_o mean_v some_o transcribe_a copy_n or_o some_o translation_n for_o copy_n in_o the_o hebrew_n i_o doubt_v i_o whether_o the_o common_a people_n do_v then_o understand_v the_o hebrew_n and_o among_o the_o berean_n who_o do_v search_v the_o scripture_n i_o think_v it_o past_a question_n that_o there_o be_v many_o ordinary_a people_n and_o perhaps_o cobbler_n or_o tailor_n or_o such_o as_o dr_n j._n rainolds_n seem_v to_o judge_n if_o this_o be_v grant_v that_o those_o who_o be_v command_v to_o search_v the_o scripture_n and_o commend_v for_o search_v the_o scripture_n do_v not_o can_v not_o search_v the_o original_a hebrew_n what_o shall_v we_o think_v then_o no_o other_o can_v be_v imagine_v but_o some_o translation_n which_o they_o do_v understand_v syriack_n chaldee_n but_o chief_o the_o greek_a translation_n which_o the_o most_o if_o not_o all_o understand_v but_o you_o will_v say_v the_o translator_n be_v subject_a to_o mistake_v and_o err_v or_o worse_o be_v no_o prophet_n and_o if_o they_o do_v understand_v the_o hebrew_n yet_o sith_o they_o can_v not_o come_v by_o the_o first_o original_a copy_n they_o must_v needs_o have_v recourse_n to_o some_o transcribe_a copy_n whether_o the_o church_n be_v to_o repair_v to_o translation_n or_o to_o transcribe_a copy_n all_o come_v to_o one_o sith_o neither_o transcriber_n nor_o translator_n be_v prophet_n very_o good_a man_n let_v they_o be_v yet_o man_n they_o be_v and_o subject_a to_o error_n may_v i_o speak_v my_o opinion_n i_o think_v when_o christ_n say_v search_v the_o scripture_n he_o mean_v the_o scipture_n translate_v into_o greek_a and_o by_o scripture_n the_o apostle_n mean_v the_o greek_a translation_n which_o tongue_n if_o not_o in_o christ_n time_n yet_o in_o the_o apostle_n time_n in_o a_o manner_n all_o do_v understand_v wherefore_o when_o the_o apostle_n say_v be_v give_v by_o inspiration_n and_o be_v profitable_a he_o mean_v it_o be_v profitable_a to_o be_v read_v or_o hear_v read_v in_o the_o greek_a translation_n and_o the_o rather_o be_o i_o of_o this_o mind_n because_o scholar_n do_v know_v that_o the_o new_a testament_n do_v cite_v the_o place_n out_o of_o the_o old_a testament_n according_a to_o the_o greek_a translation_n and_o most_o a_o end_n be_v very_o punctual_a in_o it_o however_o whither_o we_o look_v on_o translation_n or_o transcription_n sith_o the_o first_o table_n write_v by_o god_n himself_o be_v lose_v with_o the_o temple_n and_o the_o original_a greek_a copy_n of_o the_o translation_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v the_o learned_a think_v and_o i_o think_v they_o think_v well_o in_o it_o burn_v by_o julius_n coesars_n army_n when_o they_o fire_v alexandria_n and_o the_o famous_a library_n there_o the_o ephesian_n be_v build_v on_o

they_o have_v their_o writing_n but_o for_o the_o writing_n of_o the_o prophet_n the_o ephesian_n be_v gentile_n i_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v understand_v not_o the_o hebrew_n at_o least_o the_o body_n of_o they_o but_o be_v grecian_n they_o may_v and_o do_v understand_v the_o greek_a translation_n which_o i_o doubt_v not_o be_v pure_a then_o than_o it_o be_v now_o yet_o than_o be_v but_o a_o

how_o can_v we_o build_v on_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n now_o sith_o the_o scripture_n in_o their_o translate_a copy_n be_v not_o free_a from_o all_o possible_a
