but with more learning an 100 fold then this Author betrayeth, and withal carrieth himself with far more ingenuity. For he takes notice of those places of Scripture whereupon our Divines do build, and accommodates himself to answer them by some interpretation that he thinks good to make of them, which this Author doth not 2. But what if there be no such text as this Author builds upon? For look what the word is, used in the original Ps. 5. 4. the same is used Es. 66 4 Now that in Ps. 5. 4 This Author renders not that wouldest not iniquity, but that hast no pleasure in iniquity And why then shall not that Es. 66. 4. be accordingly rendered thus. They choose the things wherein I had no pleasure, or wherein I had no delight, and not as he expresseth it the things that I would not. Hereupon I imagined our English translation had thus rendered it, but consulting that, I found the contrary. For thus they render it. They choose the things wherein I delighted not. It is true the Geneva renders it thus: But doth it become him to prefer and follow the Geneva translation before the last and most authentical translation of the Church of England? In like manner the practise of Geneva must be of authority to cry us down in the point of the morality of the fourth commandment. Were not the man well known to be sound at heart, his favourites might well suspect him to prevaricate, in making so great a cry, and yet yielding so little wool. In the next place he allegeth that of James. Let no man say when he is tempted that he is tempted of God. For God tempteth no man: But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away with his own concupiscence 1Now Peter Martyr on the first to the Romans deals at large upon this place, and disputes strangely in discoursing of Gods providence in evil. I would this Author had taken the pains to answer him at least, that he might perform somewhat tanto dignum hiatu, worthy of the great gaping he makes. It is true Bellarmine hath ⟨p. 54⟩taken him to task after a sort in his eighth chapter of his second book de Amiss. gratiae & statu peccati. And I have replied upon Bellarmine at large in my Vindiciae, in that large digression wherein I take Bellarmine to task in that book of his, whereunto I refer the Reader. Yet to say somewhat of this place before I pass.
