V. We must Assent, Approve, and Consent to all the mis-translations in the present Liturgy, as well as to justify the old Edition: That before cited Psal. 105. 28. is in the present Book, and so are the rest of the omissions and differences in the Psalms before mentioned, which are many. Different Translations which have all the same sense, may be all called God's Word, because their sense is so: But where they have different senses, so far one of them is contrary to God's Word: For God's Word is one and true, and not contrary to it self. The question is not whether these faulty Translations were not a good work, and a great mercy to the Church, till we had a ⟨p. 165⟩better? Nor whether they may not be lawfully used where there is no better? Yea or where there is a better, if the Command of Governors, or Concord, make it best for that time and place. But it is, Whether all the faults of the Translation may be Assented, Approved and Consented to? We commit some failings and sins every day, but we may not Approve of them, and profess that we Consent so to do.
