Rainoldes. He abuseth two witnesses. For he seemeth by the Chaldee, to mean the Chaldee Paraphrast: and the Chaldee Paraphrast hath not a word to that purpose. As for Rabbi Selomoh, he hath some such words: but D. Genebrard wresteth and depraveth them. For whereas the Rabbin saith, that 4poor Scribes and such as taught little children, were not but of the tribe of Simeon: he maketh him to say, that Scribes for the most part were of the poor tribe of Simeon. In the which report he committeth two faults. One, that where his author doth speak of poor Scribes who taught little children, as scriveners do with us to write: he taketh it of great Scribes, who expounded the law to all the people, lyea, to Princes. An other, that where his author saith, they were not but of the tribe of Simeon, which in the great Scribes would be ⟨p. 325⟩clearly false (for Ezra mthe Scribe was of the ntribe of Levi: he, to mend the bolt and make it fit for his bow, saith that they were *lightly (or, for the most part) of the tribe of Simeon. So, what Rabbi Selomoh doth absolutely deny, that Doctor Genebrard tempereth with a qualification: and of these words, [the poor Scribes were of the tribe of Simeon;] he maketh these, [the Scribes were of the poor tribe of Simeon.] This is a pretty sleight, and such as is not common amongst the ancient Sophisters, whom oPlato painteth out. But the Sorbonists do pass them. Yet is D. Genebrard to blame to play such tri•kes when he shall gain so little by them. For what if a Rabbin, a Jew, who lived of late years, had said, that the Scribes were not of the Levitical tribe? That nation is stricken with madness, and with blindness, and with astonishment of heart, since they have shut their eyes against p
