Gregory Martin hath his answer long ago:1 his Discovery is disproved, and his objections refelled throughly orderly, and learnedly. It will be too great and troublesome a work for you to maintain that quarrel: better it is to leave it to some other, that can do more therein then your self, if any such be amongst you. As for that notable corruption of great moment and importance by him objected out of the 22. Psal. v. 17. read the answer. Very like a letter was mistaken in the writing and printing, as may fall out in books set forth with greatest diligence and conscience soe Genebrard ⟨p. 281⟩your Hebrew professor at Paris imputeth not the corruption of this place to wilful malice in the Jews, but to chance,2 by reason the two letters were soe like: and proveth by testimony of learned Jews, that the best and truest copies had Caaru, 3they digged, not Caari as a Lion, 4and that when Caari is written, it must be read Caaru. Who ever denied but some fault by this means might come into the Bibles,5 such as in your translation are plentifully found? is this a reason then of moment & importance to prove the Hebrew Bibles soe full of corruption & errors, that they must be cast away, & the latin translation Canonized for authentical scripture, and received in their place? [Greek or Hebrew], and much worse.
