In the book of Judges Chap. 15. v. 14. When the Philistines met Samson being bound,1 the scripture recordeth, that the ⟨p. 297⟩spirit of the Lord coming upon him, the cords that were upon his arms became as flax that is burnt with fire. Your translator in stead of flax hath put wood, 2and for the heat of the fire, or some such like word he putteth the smell of the fire. And yet that wood is so easily consumed with the only smell of fire, I think you will not say for maintenance of your translation against the original text. What then remaineth but to confess as needs you must, that here hath been, and is a foul corruption?
