Thus appeareth secondly what shame or modesty was in you,1 to object want of both to me. For show us M. R. if you can, any word in our Bibles absurdly or falsely translated, by me maintained. The same word may well be translated in diverse places diversly: & so [Greek or Hebrew] Jo. 3.8. is rightly translated the wind, which in other places is not so to be translated. And are not you a modest man, that because in this one place [Greek or Hebrew] is so translated, as the word well beareth and the sense requireth, would make men believe that it is every where else so translated, and that the holy ghost, we call the holy ⟨p. 223⟩wind? you have good cause to be ashamed of this so shameless and impudent dealing.

Marc. 7.4. Whether I have truly said of your translation, that it is of all others most corrupt, I am content to refer it to the judgement of all the wise and Godly readers.2
