Detect. 22. Another of their Deceits is by quarrelling with our Translations of the Bible, and making the people believe that we have so corrupted it, that it is none of the word of God, and so they openly scorn it, and deride it.

As to this point, though Learned men can soon confute them by vindicating the Text as in the Original Languages, and then vindicating our Translation; yet the common disputant need not put them and himself to so much trouble. If really they will but let the Law of God contained in the Holy Scripture be the Rule by which our difference shall be tried and decided, we will cut short the rest of the controversy, and take it wholly together, and we will stand to the Vulgar Latin, which is it that themselves applaud. We are content that this be the Rule between us. Yea rather then they shall shift off the unlearned by these tricks, we will admit of their own Translation, which the Rhemists have (with little friendship to our cause) composed. Only we must entreat them that their Commentaries and conceits be not taken into the Text as part of the Word of God. So that this quarrel is quickly at an end. The Scripture is so full against them, that no Translation that makes it not another thing, can make it to be on their side.
