Rainoldes. This is a shameful slander brewed by Satan, and set a broach by Lindan; to the intent, that errors, which have prevailed in Popery, either by the fault of the Latin translator, or by the over sight of them who have mistaken him, should not be discovered and put to shame by the light of the Hebrew truth.

And this shall appeere by his arguments and dealings, if you will sift them in particular. If in generall onely you meane to vse his name to discredite the truth, as
