A17143	An answere to ten friuolous and foolish reasons, set downe by the Rhemish Iesuits and papists in their preface before the new Testament by them lately translated into English, which haue mooued them to forsake the originall fountaine of the Greeke, wherein the Spirit of God did indite the Gospell, and the holie Apostles did write it, to follow the streame of the Latin translation, translated we know not when nor by whom With a discouerie of many great corruptions and faults in the said English translation set out at Rhemes.

nothing_o at_o all_o differ_v from_o the_o unity_n of_o one_o faith_n as_o also_o one_o expounder_n agréeable_o to_o one_o faith_n may_v diverse_o expound_v one_o place_n 37._o because_o that_o the_o

fidelity_n in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n ought_v to_o be_v deal_v in_o neither_o do_v i_o think_v but_o that_o it_o be_v very_o expedient_a and_o profitable_a for_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n that_o in_o every_o tongue_n there_o be_v one_o as_o exact_v and_o absolute_a translation_n as_o may_v be_v agree_v upon_o which_o shall_v either_o only_a or_o principal_o be_v follow_v the_o which_o if_o

through_o the_o malice_n of_o satan_n and_o weakness_n of_o man_n judgement_n though_o there_o be_v but_o one_o only_a translation_n and_o therefore_o i_o think_v you_o rather_o suck_v that_o out_o of_o your_o own_o finger_n than_o find_v it_o in_o luther_n work_n in_o such_o sense_n and_o sort_n as_o you_o express_v it_o and_o thereupon_o have_v note_v no_o place_n in_o his_o writing_n where_o
