Their Paris Genebrard he labours to disgrace such calculation by propounding the name Luter But not fynding the nomber in Greeke he turnes it into hebrue Character but yet it will not reatch he bumbasts it therefore with another L so makinge it Lulter for tentoring out 666. But if the Malice of France wold haue the nomber out of an hebrue word let him count
