open_v their_o eye_n in_o a_o very_a few_o word_n for_o not_o to_o take_v notice_n of_o that_o absurd_a say_n original_a copy_n which_o he_o will_v or_o shall_v have_v say_v copy_n of_o the_o

that_o the_o greek_a copy_n for_o aught_o i_o know_v be_v of_o as_o good_a authority_n as_o the_o hebrew_n at_o this_o day_n be_v and_o for_o my_o reason_n i_o send_v you_o to_o his_o history_n of_o the_o 70_o translation_n only_o take_v this_o along_o with_o you_o that_o as_o have_v be_v already_o note_v st._n paul_n which_o also_o the_o other_o holy_a writer_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n general_o do_v in_o other_o place_n follow_v the_o greek_a and_o not_o the_o hebrew_n copy_n in_o cite_v this_o 14_o psalm_n which_o be_v no_o contemptible_a argument_n for_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o 70._o translation_n brief_o we_o have_v this_o further_a advantage_n on_o our_o side_n that_o it_o be_v more_o probable_a the_o three_o controvert_v verse_n may_v be_v leave_v out_o of_o the_o hebrew_n copy_n by_o the_o carelessness_n of_o the_o transcriber_n than_o thrust_v into_o the_o greek_a by_o the_o translator_n it_o be_v easy_a suppose_v they_o both_o honest_a and_o sincere_a for_o transcriber_n to_o omit_v than_o translator_n to_o add_v so_o much_o together_o of_o their_o own_o head_n 5._o it_o be_v not_o add_v to_o nor_o diminish_v from_o nor_o corrupt_v the_o word_n when_o

in_o any_o language_n doubtless_o the_o word_n of_o god_n may_v be_v corrupt_v by_o transcribe_v or_o print_v it_o as_o well_o as_o by_o translate_n it_o transcribe_v we_o know_v be_v &_o print_v now_o a_o day_n be_v the_o work_n often_o of_o ignorant_a &_o mechanical_a man_n who_o be_v more_o liable_a to_o mistake_n but_o translate_n be_v the_o business_n of_o the_o learned_a ay_o but_o st._n jerom_n confess_v himself_o subject_a to_o mistake_n in_o translate_n the_o scripture_n very_o good_a and_o yet_o he_o translate_v it_o for_o the_o use_n of_o the_o latin_a christian_n and_o his_o

as_o jerom_n former_o do_v into_o the_o latin_a and_o dalmatick_a ibid._n as_o st._n chrysostom_n into_o the_o armenian_a as_o ulphilas_n into_o the_o gothick_n or_o as_o the_o ancient_n do_v every_o
