That the greek word 2. Gal. 2. signifieth for the most part 1to seem: can not be denied. Whether there be any necessity to change this usual and ordinary signification in that place: I leave to the reader. Seeing first the same word in that chapter / is twice so turned: where the same both matter / and persons are spoken off. seeing also it is confessed / by M. Beza which corrected it: that the apostle speaketh not according to his own but according to the sense off his adversaries. Thirdly / seeing the cause which moved Erasmus and M. Beza to depart from that translation for that there is nothing joined to declare, wherein that seeming and appearance should be) is not so urging. For S. Paul useth oft such short / and cut speeches: which are to be supplied by other places off his: as M. Beza him self showeth in the same chap. vers. 6. I omit the number off interpreters / which have followed the old in this behalf. Howbeit I confess / that if I had known that I had in this point to do with the Geneva / M. Bezas / and Erasmus translation / and Buddies authority: I would (for reverence off their learning) have use▪ an easier word in dissenting. nether will I strive about it / wit• •he D. it making little ether off or on / to the matter in hand: seeing the reason (alleged by the adm. and maintained by me) standeth still against the archbishop. For if Saint Paul / were in nothing inferior unto Saint Peter / one of those chief there mentioned: and if the making of S. Peter / to have authority over Saint Paul / be the overthrow of S. Pauls argument: then it followeth / that thadm. aptly alleged that place against the archbishop. Nether can it be alleged / to prove any degree of honour the in ministry, not only because the price which the Galatians had off those by suggestion off the false Apostles / was excessive in that they preferred those three before S. Paul: but also for that off men in the same degree and ⟨p. DCLXIIII⟩authority one may justly be honoured more then an other / in respect off gifts more excellent in him then in the rest.
