But your reasons,1 whereby you labour to justify your doing in this behalf, must be examined.2 Our Saviour, the Evangelists, & Apostles (you say) cited places of the old testament, not according to the Hebrew, but according to the Septuagints. First, Master Rainolds, your comparison is not equal. What are ye to Christ, to his Evangelists, and Apostles? will you be bold to take as much upon you, as they might? herein doubtless you have not so wisely be thought your self. Then, show if you can a place alleged by our saviour Christ, or any Evangelist, or Apostle, swerving in sense from the Hebrew. They cite not always the words, but they keep most truly the sense and meaning ever more. Lastly it is one thing to translate the scripture, and an other to cite a place of scripture. In citing a place, it is sufficient to observe the true meaning, in translating it is necessary to keep the words, as near as may be. Our saviour, his Evangelists and Apostles were no translators of scripture: but they truly delivered the sense of ⟨p. 237⟩such places, as they alleged out of scripture.
