The cause wherefore the Jews hold so much of this name is this, where as this name Lord standeth in the ⟨image 25⟩scripture there doth it signify God in his Godly essence and Majesty, and there is spoken of the very God. The Hebrew language hath about ten names, whereby she nameth God, among the which there are many whereby she nameth God, concerning his works, but this name Jehovah, Lord, signifieth only God as he is in his Godly essence. This difference can we not keep in our language, for we do commonly call it Lord, and can not wrest nor constrain this word, that it should signify God only, for we call a Prince Lord, and a ruler is also called Lord, and it is very common to us in our language. But that we call God also a Lord, this have we out of the Evangelists, which call him Dominum, Lord, whom we do follow herein leaning it as we find it. The other names in the Hebrew, are not only ascribed to God, but they are also spoken to other men, but this name, Jehovah, is only attributed to the very living God.
The cause wherfore the Iewes holde so muche of this name is this, where as this name Lorde standeth in the ⟨image 25⟩scripture there doth it signifie God in his Godly essence and Maiestie, and there is spoken of the very God. The Hebrewe language hath aboute tenne names, whereby she nameth God, amonge the whiche there are many whereby she nameth God, concerning his workes, but this name Iehouah, Lorde, signifieth onely God as he is in his Godly essence. This difference can we not kepe in oure language, for we do commonly call it Lorde, and can not wreste nor constrayne this worde, that it shoulde signifie God onely, for we call a Prince Lorde, and a ruler is also called Lord, and it is very common to vs in our language. But that we call God also a Lorde, this haue we out of the Euangelistes, which call him Dominum, Lorde, whome we do folowe herein leaninge it as we fynde it. The other names in the Ebrewe, are not onely asseribed to God, but they are also spoken to other menne, but this name, Iehouah, is onely attributed to the very lyuinge God.
