The sum of the conference between John Rainoldes and John Hart touching the head and the faith of the Church.

Hart. Of other men? How?
Rainoldes. As when a Greek writer is translated into Latin, the translator maketh him sometimes to say that which he never meant. And before printing, the scriveners, who copied out books with hand, committed sundry scapes. Which ⟨p. 503⟩likewise befalleth unto printers now. So there may be a fault in an author without the authors fault, through oversight of printers, or scriveners, or translators. For example, in the story ecclesiastical of iEusebius translated by Rufinus, it is alleged out of Clemens that Peter, James, & John, although Christ preferred them almost before all, yet they took not the honour of primacy to them selves, but ordained James (who was surnamed Just,) 1Bishop of the Apostles. This had been a notable testimony for James, against the primacy of Peter. But kI alleged it not: because as I seek to win you to the truth, so I seek to do it by true and right means. Whereof this were none, being an oversight (as it appeareth) of Rufinus. For in the Greek Eusebius, it is, that they ordained him 2Bishop of Jerusalem, not Bishop of the Apostles.
