In the second Ep. of S. Peter Chap. 1. v. 15. you have strangely translated the Apostles words, I will do my diligence, you to have often after my decease also, that you may keep ⟨p. 233⟩a memory of these things, and upon this disordered translation you have made a long note of Peters care and protection of the Church after his death: whereas the Apostle in his own words saith no more, but that he would endeavour daily, that they also might have remembrance of those things after his departure. 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.

Paul to the Romans chap. 11. v. 6. the common translator hath left out this whole sentence together, But if it be of works, it is no more grace: or else were work no more work: and these words have you also in your English translation clean omitted, as though they were no part of scripture, being the Apostles undoubted words no less, then the other that went before. What cause was there of this dealing, but only to smother that clear opposition between merit and grace, which the Apostle hath ⟨p. 234⟩in his own words declared, if he might be suffered to speak all.

A pretie sleight in translating for aduantage, where the Apostle saieth, he would endeuour that they might remember those thinges after his decease, to make him saie, that he would haue them in remembrance after his decease; and then of this false translation to note what a pastorall care S.
