Two authorities M. R. allegeth out of the commentaries of S. Hierome upon the epistle to the Galatians. The Apostle in the 3. Chap. citeth two testimonies out of Deuteronomy, not altogether according to every word in the Hebrew text. Saint Jerome among other reasons hereof useth that for one, that the Jews perhaps have changed something in their originals. If the Apostle had always bound him-self to the words, in rehearsing authorities out of the old testament, this reason had been of weight: but seeing the Apostle Saint Paul and other Apostles use not precisely to recite the words of the text, but the sense, Saint Jerome had no cause to suspect such a matter in these places. For compare the […] ⟨p. 273⟩Prophets and Apostles words together, and no difference in, sense shall ye find. Deuteronomy Chap. 27. v. 26. the words stand thus in the Hebrew; Accursed is whosoever performeth not the words of this law to do them. The Apostle to the Galat. chap. 3. v. 10. allegeth them thus, Accursed is every one that abideth not in all things that are written in the book of the law to do them. Here you have moe words, I grant, but what diversity is there in the sense? again Deuter. Chap. 21. v. 23. the words are these, Accursed of God is he that is hanged. Saint Paul Galat. Chap. 3. v. 13. allegeth the words thus, Accursed is every one that is hanged on a tree: in words a little alteration, in matter & meaning none at all.
