be_v to_o take_v we_o off_o from_o the_o scripture_n and_o to_o cast_v we_o and_o our_o conscience_n on_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n we_o list_v not_o to_o dispute_v with_o they_o about_o

search_v the_o original_a hebrew_n what_o shall_v we_o think_v then_o no_o other_o can_v be_v imagine_v but_o some_o translation_n which_o they_o do_v understand_v syriack_n chaldee_n but_o chief_o the_o greek_a translation_n which_o the_o most_o if_o not_o all_o understand_v but_o you_o will_v say_v the_o translator_n be_v subject_a to_o mistake_v and_o err_v or_o worse_o be_v no_o prophet_n and_o if_o they_o do_v understand_v the_o hebrew_n yet_o sith_o they_o can_v not_o come_v by_o the_o first_o original_a copy_n they_o must_v needs_o have_v recourse_n to_o some_o transcribe_a copy_n whether_o the_o church_n be_v to_o repair_v to_o translation_n or_o to_o transcribe_a copy_n all_o come_v to_o one_o sith_o neither_o transcriber_n nor_o translator_n be_v prophet_n very_o good_a man_n let_v they_o be_v yet_o man_n they_o be_v and_o subject_a to_o error_n may_v i_o speak_v my_o opinion_n i_o think_v when_o christ_n say_v search_v the_o scripture_n he_o mean_v the_o scipture_n translate_v into_o greek_a and_o by_o scripture_n the_o apostle_n mean_v the_o greek_a translation_n which_o tongue_n if_o not_o in_o christ_n time_n yet_o in_o the_o apostle_n time_n in_o a_o manner_n all_o do_v understand_v wherefore_o when_o the_o apostle_n say_v be_v give_v by_o inspiration_n and_o be_v profitable_a he_o mean_v it_o be_v profitable_a to_o be_v read_v or_o hear_v read_v in_o the_o greek_a translation_n and_o the_o rather_o be_o i_o of_o this_o mind_n because_o scholar_n do_v know_v that_o the_o new_a testament_n do_v cite_v the_o place_n out_o of_o the_o old_a testament_n according_a to_o the_o greek_a translation_n and_o most_o a_o end_n be_v very_o punctual_a in_o it_o however_o whither_o we_o look_v on_o translation_n or_o transcription_n sith_o the_o first_o table_n write_v by_o god_n himself_o be_v lose_v with_o the_o temple_n and_o the_o original_a greek_a copy_n of_o the_o translation_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v the_o learned_a think_v and_o i_o think_v they_o think_v well_o in_o it_o burn_v by_o julius_n coesars_n army_n when_o they_o fire_v alexandria_n and_o the_o famous_a library_n there_o the_o ephesian_n be_v build_v on_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n the_o apostle_n they_o have_v with_o they_o but_o the_o prophet_n be_v dead_a and_o go_v malachi_n be_v the_o last_o the_o apostle_n they_o may_v consult_v with_o and_o they_o have_v their_o writing_n but_o for_o the_o writing_n of_o the_o prophet_n the_o ephesian_n be_v gentile_n i_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v understand_v not_o the_o hebrew_n at_o least_o the_o body_n of_o they_o but_o be_v grecian_n they_o may_v and_o do_v understand_v the_o greek_a translation_n which_o i_o doubt_v not_o be_v pure_a then_o than_o it_o be_v now_o yet_o than_o be_v but_o a_o

err_v be_v not_o prophet_n nor_o endue_v with_o 7_o that_o infallible_a spirit_n in_o translate_n or_o transcribe_v as_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n be_v in_o their_o original_a writing_n the_o

how_o can_v we_o build_v on_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n now_o sith_o the_o scripture_n in_o their_o translate_a copy_n be_v not_o free_a from_o all_o possible_a
