The Prologue upon the Gospel of S. Matthew, by M. William Tyndall.
The Prologue vppon the Gospell of S. Mathew, by M. William Tyndall.
Here hast thou (most dear reader) the new Testament, or covenant made with us of GOD in Christs blood. Which I have looked over again (now at the last) with all diligence, & compared it unto the Greek, & have weeded out of it many faults, which lack of help at the beginning and oversight, did sow therein. If ought seem changed, or not altogether agreeing with the Greek, let the finder of the fault consider the Hebrew phrase, or manner of speech left in the Greek words. Whose preterperfectence and present tense is oft both one, & the future tense is the optative mode also, & the future tense oft yt imperative mode in the active voice, & in the passive ever. Likewise person for person, number for number, and interrogation for a conditional, and such like is with the Hebruesa common usage.
