What cause have we to be afraid of your translation?¹ §5If you translate the word ⟨p. 372⟩of God, that is it which we have translated and printed, and published so often. I wish indeed for my part, that your translation might be printed alone, and all men suffered to have and read it, that so by comparing it with ours, and with the original text, and by considering the whole shape of it, they might the more abhor your irreligious and profane handling the Testament of Christ. Your Annotations joined with your translation are devilish indeed and dangerous for all Christians to read, and therefore the godly wisdom of magistrates cannot suffer such books openly to be sold. You speak your pleasure of Master Jewels dealing with Hardinges books, but falsely, all men knowing the contrary: and so further you proceed in blasphemous railing against the truth of Christs gospel, which now in England is professed, calling it an Atheistical gospel. Such new terms of blasphemy have you devised and used many, so as we may perceive that you have profited well in your school of Apostasy, and are now come to the highest form and chair of scorners.²
