^gIt was the parasceve of pasche. These and such like are the goodly flowers of their translation, besides the obscurity and ambiguity of sentences, by reason of leaving ⟨p. 371⟩out the verbs and other words in the English translation, which may in latin more easily be understood. Yet have they dealt something reasonably in adding a Dictionary to their translation, if it had been somewhat larger. Hereby the reader may judge, but better by reading the translation it self, whether I have not truly said of it, that it is a strange translation indeed, and such a one, as hard it were to find the like. But Master Rainolds answereth, that we rather delight in such novelty, then they, seeing they retain the ancient words, Mass, Priest, &c. and we refuse them: hereof hath been spoken before. And as for certain names of persons and places which some of our interpreters do reduce to the Hebrew sound, they cannot much trouble the reader, and they are rather used in books, then speech. Your accusation Master Rainolds of greater novelty in articles of faith amongst us, is false: and concerning the books of Judith, Maccabees, and the rest of that sort, we have spoken sufficient before: your other railing I omit.
