And then a Third cause it may come from this, That when men report, they do not report all; Reports are 1cross one to another, yea, but did you hear all, or do you report all? It's a great matter when a man will take one piece of a thing and make a report of it, and not all; another man may come and report the quite contrary, whereas if all were brought together there might appear some agreement, and perhaps they would be both of the same mind if the whole series of the thing were laid before them; bring things to the Original and then you see how they agree; as now, sometimes in Scripture, there are divers readings, yea, but now by the bringing divers 2Translations to the Original, we come to see what an agreement there is: And so it is with reports, bring them to the Original, and so you may come to help your selves ⟨p. 210⟩and see what agreement may be made.
