Lucas Brugensis, 1a man of your own household, and one that hath taken much pains. to correct your Latin translation, confesseth, that many faults have crept into the same by divers occasions: which, he saith, is no marvel, seeing the like hath fallen out in the very fountain it self, as it is plain in the new Testament in Greek. For (saith he) of the old in Hebrew, I will speak ⟨p. 229⟩nothing: not daring to affirm, that such faults have taken place in the hebrew text of the old Testament. But you are bold blindly and bluntly to avouch that both these fountains are not only corrupted, but more corrupted also then your translation, which Lucas was afraid and ashamed once to insinuate. Your reasons, if you bring any, shall in their several places following be examined but good reason for your defence in this behalf, am I assured can none be brought.
