christian_a reader_n consider_v how_o excellent_a knowledge_n and_o learn_v a_o interpreter_n of_o scripture_n ought_v to_o have_v in_o the_o tongue_n and_o ponder_v also_o my_o own_o insufficiency_n therein_o &_o how_o weak_a i_o be_o to_o perform_v y_z e_o office_n of_o a_o translatoure_n i_o be_v the_o more_o loath_a to_o meddle_v with_o this_o work_n notwithstond_v when_o i_o considere_v how_o great_a pity_n it_o be_v that_o we_o shall_v want_n it_o so_o long_o &_o call_v to_o my_o remembrance_n y_fw-fr e_o adversite_n of_o they_o which_o be_v not_o only_o of_o ripe_a knowledge_n but_o

the_o more_o bold_a to_o take_v it_o in_o hand_n and_o to_o help_v i_o herein_o i_o have_v have_v sundry_a translation_n not_o only_o in_o latyn_a but_o also_o of_o the_o douche_n interpreter_n who_o because_o of_o their_o syngule_a gift_n &_o special_a diligence_n in_o the_o bible_n i_o have_v be_v the_o more_o glad_a to_o follow_v for_o the_o most_o part_n accord_v as_o i_o be_v require_v but_o to_o say_v the_o truth_n before_o god_n it_o be_v nether_a my_o labour_n never_o desire_v to_o have_v this_o work_n put_v in_o my_o hand_n nevertheless_o it_o greve_v i_o y_fw-fr e_o other_o nacyon_n shall_v be_v more_o plenteous_o provyde_v for_o with_o y_z e_z scripture_n in_o their_o mother_n tongue_n than_o we_o therefore_o when_o i_o be_v instant_o require_v though_o i_o can_v not_o do_v so_o well_o as_o i_o will_v i_o think_v it_o yet_o my_o dewtye_n to_o do_v my_o best_a and_o that_o with_o a_o good_a will_n where_o as_o some_o man_n think_v now_o y_o it_o many_o translacyon_n make_v

almost_o have_v y_o e_o bible_n of_o a_o sundry_a translation_n among_o the_o greek_n have_v not_o origen_n a_o specyall_a translacyon_n have_v not_o vulgarius_fw-la one_o peculyar_n &_o likewise_o

man_n thou_o find_v y_a to_o every_o one_o almost_o use_v a_o specyall_a &_o sundry_a translacyon_n for_o in_o so_o much_o as_o every_o bysshoppe_n have_v the_o knowledge_n of_o y_fw-fr e_o tongue_n

soon_o as_o the_o bible_n be_v cast_v aside_o &_o nomore_o put_v in_o exercise_n than_o begin_v every_o one_o of_o his_o own_fw-mi head_n to_o write_v what_o so_o ever_o come_v in_o to_o his_o brain_n and_o y_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v good_a in_o his_o own_fw-mi eye_n and_o so_o grow_v you_o e_o darkness_n of_o man_n tradition_n and_o this_o same_o be_v y_z e_z cause_n y_fw-fr t_o we_o have_v have_v so_o many_o writer_n which_o seldom_o make_v mencyon_n of_o y_fw-fr e_o scripture_n of_o the_o bible_n &_o though_o they_o some_o time_n alege_v it_o yet_o be_v it_o do_v so_o far_o out_o of_o

translate_v do_v so_o much_o good_a &_o edify_v in_o other_o language_n why_o shall_v it_o do_v evell_a in_o we_o doubtless_o like_a as_o all_o nacyon_n in_o y_o e_o dyversite_n of_o speech_n may_v

unto_o his_o church_n the_o gift_n of_o interpretacyon_n &_o of_o prynt_v and_o that_o there_o be_v now_o at_o this_o time_n so_o many_o â–ª_o which_o with_o soch_n diligence_n and_o faithfulness_n
