Look for the answer in the last section of pag. 13. beside that they deal unfaithfully here with M. Beza. For although he affirm that the' old interpreter might (in some places) have a better copy, then himself could come unto: yet here he preferreth the consent of the Greek readings. And indeed it is most fit, for the circumstance of the place. For telling afterward, how often they wash, namely as often as they had come from any place of common and civill meetings: it agreeth better both with the shortness of speech which S. Mark (above all other) followeth, and with the doting superstition of the Pharisees: to expound this by a diligent and exact washing, thereby declaring that they did not only wash often, but washed with great endeavour of rubbing one hand ⟨p. 168⟩against another: least (happily) any uncleanness should stick unto them: which sense also is confirmed of the Syriac paraphrast.

Looke for the answere in the laste sectiō of pag. 13. beside that they deal vnfaithfully heere with M. Beza. For although he affirme that th' old interpreter might (in some places) haue a better copie, then himself could come vnto: yet heere he praeferreth the consent of the Greeke readings. And indeede it is most fit, for the circumstāce of the place. For telling afterward, how often they wash, namely as often as they had come from any place of cōmon and ciuill meetings: it agreeth better both with the shortnesse of speach which S. Mark (aboue al other) followeth, and with the doting superstition of the Pharises: to expound this by a diligent and exact washing, thereby declaring that they did not only wash often, but washed with great endeuour of rubbing one hand ⟨p. 168⟩against another: least (happily) anie vncleannesse should stick vnto them: which sense also is confirmed of the Syriack paraphrast.
