An answer to a certain book, writtenAn answere to a certeine booke, written

In the second of Samuel Chap. 6. v. 12. a number of words are added together in your translation,¹ more then can be found in the true text, that David hearing how Obed edom had been wonderfully blessed by keeping the ark in his house,² said, I will go and bring back the ark with a blessing into my house. These words may seem to be fit for the place, & it may be ⟨p. 299⟩supposed that so David either spake or thought. But what of that? may we therefore convey thus cunningly into the text of scripture whatsoever we imagine fitly to agree therewith? The Hebrew hath no such saying, nor the Chaldee, nor yet the Greek: it is therefore a manifest corruption of your translator.
