But what will you say to those learned men, who having more skill in the Hebrew tongue then you, Master Rainolds, or else your Lyra, though a Jew borne, have translated the word as it is now read in the hebrew Bibles, no otherwise then your selves would have it to be translated. I mean Arias Montanus and Vatablus, as in their translations you may find: who if they have rightly and well translated the word, then may you see, that no such wickedness hath been practiced in this place, as you have fathered upon the Jews. And furthermore compare an other like place in the same Prophet, Chap. 33. v. 15. Where this word is used in the singular number without controversy, the Prophet speaking again of the same matter, and almost wholly in the same words. Thus you may understand that the integrity of this place may be avouched, and the Jews delivered from your unjust accusation many ways.

Thus you may vnderstand that the integritie of this place may be auouched, and the Iewes deliuered from your vniust accusation many waies.
One example more you give mean an other kind,1 wherein no kind of corruption appeareth at all. In the Prophet Isaiah chap. 53. vers. 8. the old latin translation standeth thus, propter scelus populi mei percussi eum, For the sin of my people have I smitten him. The Hebrew text is something otherwise,
