Rainoldes. Your ntext then doth say, that the Prophets & Doctors at Antioch were ministering ▪ but you, to prove the Mass, do reprove your text. For if the Greek signify that they were sacrificing, and your text translated the Greek into Latin: how did your text keep his text, when he translated it, not sacrificing but ministering? Will you say that the author of your old translation (o which only is approved by your men as authentical) did not perform that duty which the translators of the scriptures ought most religiously? You do so for advantage. But in this point you do him injury. For though the word may (by consequent) import to sacrifice, when sacrifice is a service pertaining unto them whose ministry it betokeneth, as where it is spoken of 4Levites and 5Priests: yet doth it properly signify to minister, either in public function (after pthe original thereof) or in any; as magistrates are called 6the ministers of God, and Angels are said to be 7ministering spirits, and the Gentiles are willed 8to minister unto the Jews in relieving of their necessity. In so much that the learnedst of your own translators, Isidorus Clarius, and Arias Montanus, who both have turned the new testament out of Greek into Latin, qthe one approved by the Deputies of the Trent-council, rthe other by the Doctors of Lovan, do both of them translate it in this very place of the Acts of the Apostles
