It is marvel if your translator turn not your own words upon your self and tell you / that a Christian an humble and godly mind ought to be otherwise affected, and setting a side the respect of their own private regard. &c.

Neither could we well think other wise of the matter / specially seeing you wrote unto us / that we might rent the letters, and that you also would conceal it. Know moreover / that in the edition of your letters / there be certain clauses wherein the translation is not answerable to yours in latin sent unto us: which we by your original amend in our edition now ready to be published.
