In the second Psalm a text that concerneth our saviour Christ as notably as any almost in the old Testament,1 is shamefully perverted in your translation. For where the Prophet David exhorteth all to kiss the son, 2that is, to submit themselves to Jesus Christ, and his gospel, setting forth in these words a plain testimony of his Godhead and distinct person, your translation saith no more in this place but only thus,3 Apprehend discipline: which though it be a good admonition, yet is it far short of the true sense, and excellent ⟨p. 307⟩doctrine therein contained. And this may be an argument of great weight to prove, that the Jews are not honestly dealt withal by you, in that you accuse them to have corrupted the Hebrew text for malice against our Saviour Christ. For if they had been moved indeed with such a devilish intention, would they have suffered this text to have stood in such sincerity, especially having so great opportunity to change the words, as was offered unto them by the Greek and latin translations?
In the second Psalme a text that concerneth our sauiour Christ as notablie as anie almost in the olde Testament,1 is shamefullie peruerted in your translation. For where the Prophet Dauid exhorteth al to kisse the sonne, 2that is, to submit themselues to Iesus Christ, and his gospell, setting forth in these wordes a plaine testimonie of his Godhead and distincte person, your translation saith no more in this place but onelie thus,3 Apprehend discipline: which though it be a good admonition, yet is it farre short of the true sense, and excellent ⟨p. 307⟩doctrine therein contained. And this maie be an argument of great weight to prooue, that the Iewes are not honestly dealt withall by you, in that you accuse them to haue corrupted the Hebrewe text for malice against our Sauiour Christ. For if they had bene mooued indeed with such a diuelish intention, would they haue suffered this text to haue stoode in such sinceritie, especiallie hauing so great opportunitie to change the words, as was offered vnto them by the Greeke and latine translations?
