And his mercy endureth throughout all generations, upon them that fear him.
And hys mercy endureth thorovvout al generacions, vpon them that feare hym.
It is needful for us to know the manner of the scripture, which calleth the natural linage or issue a progeny or generation by the which one man is ever successively borne of another. Wherefore this english word generation or progeny doth not suffice to express the meaning thereof, yet do I know none better than it. For a progeny do we call the company that belongeth unto us, ether by reason of blood or marriage. But in this place it signifieth the natural issue and succession from father, till child's child, and every member of the same ⟨image 42⟩is called a progeny, and I think it be not wrong Englished of this fashion: namely, and his mercy endureth from child to child upon them that fear him. And this phrase of the scripture is very rife, having his beginning and original of the words that God spake unto Moses and all the people upon mount Sina, saying Exo. xx. I the LORD thy God aim a jealous God, visiting the sin of the fathers upon the children, unto the third and fourth generation, of them that hate me: and do mercy upon many thousands, that love me, and keep my commandments.
