Luke Chap. 1. v. 48. the blessed virgin saith, God hath looked on the low estate of his handmaid: you translate, the humility of his handmaid. This corruption helpeth your doctrine of merits. So an other corruption in the same Chapter, v. 28. tending to the same purpose, where you have translated, Hail full of grace: the Greek and original text hath only, Hail thou freely beloved.

A pretty sleight in translating for advantage, where the Apostle sayeth, he would endeavour that they might remember those things after his decease, to make him say, that he would have them in remembrance after his decease; and then of this false translation to note what a pastoral care S. Peter hath for the Church after he was deceased. In the epistle of S. Paul to the
