2. Some Conformists here think that the Declaration is to be taken properly, without any force or distorting, and they say that both Translations are justifiable, because one followeth the Hebrew, and the other the Septuagint, and Christ and his Apostles have justified both by using them. But others of them hold that this instance proveth that by [All things] Assented and consented to, must be meant only [All things that are not by humane frailty mistaken, or erroneous] or else, that by Assenting and Approving must be meant no more than Assenting that they may be Used: And so they consent with the Nonconformists in the matter, but not in the exposition of the words. And to the former they say, 1. That there are other mistranslations, besides those that follow the septuagint. 2. That Christ and the Apostles by citing some Texts according to the septuagint, do not thereby approve of all the rest; for they cite others otherwise. 3. That by citing them, they justify not always the translation, but only the sense so far as it is cited for, it being that scripture which the people then commonly used.
