*M.R. saith he could note sundry other particular errors in the Hebrew, but that he wanteth a piece of that insolent vain, which many of his adversaries have. If he wanted nothing else, he need not greatly to complain: but doubtless much greater want hath he of truth and learning, then insolencie. One thing here he confesseth which the Reader may remember,1 that howsoever some gross errors have crept into the fountains and originals, yet commonly, and for the most part the text is true and sincere. Thus M.R. hath voluntarily protested for the Hebrew and Greek text. And are there no gross errors in your latin translation, or not so many as in the fountains? it shall be proved there are not only grosser faults in yo•• translation, but also moe manifest corruptions, then you can imagine in the text.
