now_o to_o the_o last_o objection_n which_o be_v that_o the_o book_n of_o the_o rabbin_n err_v in_o the_o interpretation_n of_o the_o law_n and_o that_o be_v full_a of_o vain_a and_o ridiculous_a tradition_n and_o some_o that_o be_v dangerous_a too_o they_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v read_v by_o christian_n who_o be_v to_o seek_v after_o nothing_o but_o the_o true_a tradition_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o his_o church_n i_o shall_v not_o take_v upon_o i_o to_o answer_v full_o and_o in_o every_o particular_a to_o this_o objection_n since_o that_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o that_o the_o rabbin_n do_v err_v sometime_o and_o that_o their_o interpretation_n be_v sometime_o wide_a enough_o of_o the_o matter_n but_o that_o therefore_o they_o must_v present_o be_v burn_v or_o not_o read_v at_o all_o be_v against_o all_o sense_n or_o reason_n for_o otherwise_o we_o be_v to_o proceed_v in_o the_o same_o manner_n against_o ourselves_o and_o must_v condemn_v our_o own_o book_n also_o which_o be_v scarce_o to_o be_v find_v any_o of_o they_o without_o their_o error_n i_o speak_v even_o of_o those_o very_a book_n that_o be_v of_o high_a esteem_n and_o use_v among_o we_o so_o that_o if_o these_o must_v all_o be_v commit_v to_o the_o flame_n we_o shall_v speedy_o see-o●r_a library_n empty_a and_o those_o which_o shall_v come_v after_o we_o to_o be_v leave_v to_o a_o most_o profound_a ignorance_n for_o who_o know_v not_o that_o the_o work_n of_o tertullian_n favour_n the_o sect_n of_o the_o montanist_n where_o he_o speak_v of_o a_o new_a paraclet_n and_o a_o new_a

which_o the_o purity_n of_o divinity_n can_v allow_v of_o as_o also_o when_o in_o his_o disputation_n against_o aerius_n he_o affirm_v that_o one_o of_o the_o precept_n leave_v by_o the_o apostle_n

this_o learned_a father_n but_o they_o be_v such_o as_o we_o may_v true_o call_v happy_a one_o since_o that_o they_o give_v occasion_n to_o the_o write_n of_o that_o excellent_a book_n of_o his_o retractation_n without_o which_o a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o learning_n of_o this_o most_o know_v father_n have_v be_v conceal_v from_o we_o i_o can_v proceed_v to_o reckon_v up_o some_o error_n of_o each_o of_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o father_n both_o greek_a and_o latin_a for_o the_o prove_v of_o my_o assertion_n namely_o that_o we_o have_v the_o same_o reason_n to_o forbear_v the_o read_n of_o they_o that_o we_o have_v against_o the_o book_n of_o the_o rabbin_n so_o that_o we_o shall_v at_o length_n be_v reduce_v to_o this_o extremity_n of_o have_v no_o other_o book_n but_o only_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o yet_o neither_o can_v these_o pass_v if_o we_o shall_v rest_v only_o on_o the_o bare_a letter_n since_o there_o be_v some_o thing_n find_v there_o that_o seem_v contrary_a to_o truth_n thus_o cajetan_n have_v observe_v 12._o 2._o reg._n c._n 21._o 1._o reg._n c._n 12._o that_o in_o king_n 2._o we_o read_v michol_n instead_o of_o merob_n as_o you_o may_v perceive_v by_o compare_v it_o with_o the_o first_o book_n of_o the_o same_o history_n and_o the_o learned_a have_v observe_v that_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n 27._o math._n 27._o st._n matthew_n forget_v himself_o have_v write_v zachary_n for_o jeremy_n and_o st._n mark_v likewise_o upon_o the_o same_o mistake_n cite_v a_o passage_n out_o of_o isaiah_n 1._o marc._n 1._o which_o be_v write_v

he_o contradict_v the_o place_n in_o genesis_n where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o salec_n be_v not_o arphaxad_n grandsonne_n but_o his_o son_n no_o other_o generation_n intervening_a betwixt_o these_o

of_o emor_n the_o son_n of_o sichem_n whereas_o moses_n say_v it_o be_v of_o ephron_n the_o hittite_n and_o so_o likewise_o when_o he_o say_v that_o emor_n be_v sichem_n son_n when_o as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o genesis_n 33._o gen._n 33._o quite_o contrary_a that_o emor_n be_v sichem_n father_n and_o not_o his_o son_n i_o shall_v not_o here_o undertake_v to_o justify_v all_o these_o passage_n many_o great_a personage_n of_o former_a age_n have_v already_o do_v it_o very_o happy_o so_o that_o we_o can_v any_o long_o without_o manifest_a injury_n say_v that_o there_o be_v any_o error_n at_o all_o in_o they_o as_o for_o the_o error_n of_o the_o father_n i_o shall_v rather_o think_v charitable_o of_o they_o and_o say_v that_o as_o st._n jerome_n complain_v in_o his_o time_n ocean_n ep._n ad_fw-la pammac_n &_o ocean_n that_o the_o write_n of_o origen_n have_v be_v corrupt_v by_o some_o impostor_n as_o st._n augustine_n likewise_o complain_v in_o those_o of_o st._n cyprian_a so_o possible_o those_o of_o the_o other_o father_n may_v have_v be_v corrupt_v too_o but_o this_o excuse_n which_o my_o charity_n have_v suggest_v to_o i_o hinder_v not_o but_o that_o we_o be_v to_o
