consider_v the_o different_a fate_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n among_o christian_n how_o very_o contrary_a their_o affection_n be_v towards_o that_o book_n yet_o i_o for_o my_o part_n do_v no_o more_o wonder_n at_o the_o fury_n of_o the_o member_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n against_o the_o holy_a bible_n than_o at_o the_o protestant_n zeal_n for_o it_o since_o the_o learned_a part_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n know_v that_o their_o present_a religion_n and_o the_o new_a article_n of_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v in_o that_o book_n and_o the_o unlearned_a part_n be_v tell_v and_o believe_v that_o it_o be_v a_o very_a dangerous_a book_n and_o therefore_o both_o of_o they_o not_o without_o great_a cause_n as_o they_o think_v have_v reason_n to_o be_v angry_a and_o violent_a against_o that_o book_n but_o since_o protestant_n do_v find_v to_o their_o infinite_a satisfaction_n their_o religion_n in_o the_o bible_n they_o think_v they_o can_v express_v too_o great_a a_o veneration_n for_o it_o and_o believe_v that_o their_o honour_n and_o zeal_n for_o it_o aught_o at_o least_o to_o be_v as_o great_a as_o the_o papist_n fury_n and_o anger_n against_o it_o and_o yet_o as_o angry_a as_o those_o people_n be_v at_o the_o holy_a scripture_n when_o they_o be_v about_o convert_v we_o all_o here_o and_o the_o new_a trade_n of_o represent_v popery_n be_v set_v up_o among_o we_o they_o have_v so_o much_o wit_n as_o to_o perceive_v that_o abundance_n of_o skill_n and_o art_n must_v be_v necessary_a to_o get_v the_o bible_n out_o of_o the_o people_n hand_n and_o that_o their_o best_a way_n be_v not_o to_o be_v too_o severe_a upon_o the_o bible_n itself_o but_o to_o spend_v all_o their_o pain_n upon_o disparage_v our_o bible_n this_o be_v none_o of_o the_o worst_a project_n for_o if_o the_o priest_n can_v but_o once_o have_v gain_v so_o far_o upon_o the_o people_n as_o to_o have_v make_v they_o out_o of_o love_n with_o our_o bible_n and_o to_o have_v get_v it_o out_o of_o their_o hand_n they_o need_v not_o despair_v of_o gain_v so_o much_o further_o upon_o they_o as_o to_o make_v they_o altogether_o careless_a of_o have_v any_o bible_n at_o all_o and_o far_o from_o be_v desirous_a of_o have_v another_o translation_n instead_o of_o we_o the_o gain_n of_o this_o point_n be_v the_o design_n of_o the_o famous_a popish_a chapel_n in_o lime_n street_n where_o it_o be_v the_o jesuit_n province_n to_o cast_v all_o the_o dirt_n they_o can_v upon_o our_o bible_n and_o to_o run_v down_o our_o translation_n as_o nothing_o but_o a_o mere_a heap_n of_o falsity_n and_o some_o of_o they_o father_n petre_n for_o example_n be_v so_o furious_a as_o not_o only_o to_o charge_v our_o translation_n with_o such_o gross_a falsity_n and_o

to_o the_o late_a jesuite-privy-counsellour_n i_o intend_v only_o to_o vindicate_v our_o bible_n from_o those_o false_a aspersion_n and_o calumny_n of_o the_o jesuit_n by_o show_v that_o our_o translation_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v object_v against_o at_o all_o by_o any_o church_n in_o the_o world_n much_o less_o by_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n but_o least_o of_o all_o by_o those_o people_n who_o have_v undertake_v to_o do_v it_o so_o liberal_o in_o our_o own_o nation_n our_o translation_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v object_v against_o by_o any_o church_n in_o the_o world_n because_o after_o

be_v as_o perfect_a and_o as_o complete_a as_o any_o translation_n in_o use_n in_o any_o church_n in_o the_o world._n we_o do_v not_o pretend_v that_o it_o be_v perfect_o free_a from_o mistake_v or_o
