Concerning these, and some other places many confidently affirm, that the Apostle § 19 waved the Original, and reported the words from the Translation of the LXX. Capellus ⟨p. 52⟩with some others proceed farther, and assign the rise of this difference unto some other Copies of the Hebrew Text used by the LXX. varying from those which now remain. Thus in particular, in that place of Jeremiah before mentioned, he conjectures that for [Greek or Hebrew] they read [Greek or Hebrew], I despised them; as another doth that they read [Greek or Hebrew] to the same purpose; for of such conjectures there is no end. But as [Greek or Hebrew] may well signify as the Apostle expounds it, and in other places doth so, as we shall see afterwards, so this boldness in correcting the Text, and fancying without proof, Testimony or probability of other ancient Copies of the Scripture of the Old Testament, differing in many things from them which alone remain, and which indeed were ever in the world, may quickly prove pernicious to the Church of God. We must therefore look after another expedient for the removal of this difficulty.
