A93131	The Quakers wilde questions objected against the ministers of the Gospel, and many sacred acts and offices of religion. With brief answers thereunto. Together with a discourse [brace] 1. Of the Holy Spirit of God, his impressions and workings on the souls of men. 2. Of divine revelation, mediate and immediate. 3. Of error, heresie, and schism: the nature, kindes, causes, reasons, and dangers thereof: with directions for avoiding the same. All very seasonable for these times. / By R. Sherlock, B D. at Borwick-Hal in Lancashire.	Sherlock, R. (Richard), 1612-1689.	1655 (1655)	Wing S3255; Thomason E858_1; ESTC R203556	215,435	300

they_o be_v in_o english_a what_o need_v any_o other_o language_n be_v learn_v by_o a_o english_a man_n to_o know_v they_o answer_n first_o what_o i_o have_v say_v be_v no_o other_o than_o a_o truth_n undeniable_a that_o the_o scripture_n be_v give_v forth_o in_o hebrew_n and_o greek_a which_o we_o do_v true_o call_v the_o original_a and_o as_o by_o learned_a man_n they_o be_v translate_v so_o by_o

to_o those_o who_o only_o can_v see_v and_o read_v they_o in_o the_o stream_n as_o they_o be_v derive_v unto_o they_o from_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o translator_n and_o i_o must_v here_o tell_v you_o withal_o that_o it_o be_v very_o ill_a manner_n in_o you_o and_o not_o become_v either_o the_o humility_n or_o thankfulness_n of_o a_o christian_a or_o a_o reasonable_a man_n to_o vilify_v and_o undervalue_v learning_n and_o learned_a man_n as_o to_o the_o understanding_n of_o the_o scripture_n since_o neither_o you_o nor_o any_o other_o man_n that_o only_o understand_v english_a have_v ever_o come_v to_o know_v any_o thing_n in_o the_o scripture_n if_o learned_a man_n have_v not_o translate_v they_o to_o your_o hand_n 2._o since_o there_o have_v be_v many_o translation_n of_o the_o

english_a out_o of_o hebrew_n and_o greek_a into_o english_a which_o translation_n be_v make_v at_o several_a time_n and_o in_o several_a age_n do_v therefore_o very_o much_o differ_v and_o vary_v in_o several_a place_n it_o be_v very_o unlikely_a sure_a that_o ignorant_a man_n who_o understand_v only_o their_o own_o native_a language_n shall_v yet_o aswell_o understand_v the_o scripture_n as_o the_o learned_a who_o have_v the_o gift_n of_o these_o several_a language_n and_o can_v examine_v and_o compare_v these_o several_a translation_n with_o the_o original_n and_o fountain_n truth_n and_o will_v it_o not_o much_o conduce_v think_v you_o to_o the_o understanding_n of_o the_o scripture_n to_o read_v the_o interpretation_n and_o pious_a discourse_n of_o those_o holy_a religious_a father_n of_o the_o church_n which_o live_v either_o in_o or_o about_o the_o apostle_n time_n or_o immediate_o afterward_o and_o so_o be_v most_o likely_a to_o know_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o
