The New Testament diligently corrected and compared with the GreekThe Newe Testament dylygently corrected and compared with the Greke

But of this I challenge George Joy / that he did not put his own name thereto and call it rather his own translation: & that he playeth boo peep / & in some of his books putteth in his name & title / and in some keepeth it out It is lawful for who will / to translate and show his mind / though a thousand had translated before him. But it is not lawful (thinketh me) nor yet expedient for the edifying of the unity of the faith of christ / that whosoever will / shall by his own authority / take another mans translation & put out & in and ⟨image 13⟩change at pleasure / & call it a correction.

But of this I chalenge George Ioye / that he dyd not put his awne name therto and call it rather his awne translacion: & that he playeth boo pepe / & ī some of his bookes putteth in his name & tytle / and in some kepeth it oute It is lawfull for who will / to translate and shew his mynde / though a thousand had trāslated before him. But it is not lawfull (thynketh me) ner yet expedyēt for the edifienge of the vnitie of the fayth of christ / that whosoeuer will / shall by his awne auctorite / take another mannes translacion & put oute & in and ⟨image 13⟩chaunge at pleasure / & call it a correccion.

Moreover / ye shall understand that George Joy hath had of a long time marvellous imaginations about this word resurrection / that it should be taken for the state of the souls after their departing from their bodies / & hath also (though he hath been reasoned with thereof & desired to cease) yet sown his doctrine by secret letters on that side the see / & caused great division among the brethren. In so much that John Frith being in prison in the tour of London / a little before his death / wrote that we should warn him & desire him to cease / & would have then written against him / had I not withstand him. Thereto I have been sense informed that no small number through his curiosity / utterly deny the resurrection of the flesh & body / affirming that the soul when she is departed / is the spiritual body of the resurrection / & other resurrection shall there none be. And I have talked with some of them myself / so doted in that folly / that it were as good persuade a post / as to pluck that madness out of their brains. And of this all is George Joys unquiet curiosity the hole occasion / whether he be of the said faction also / or not / to that let him answer him self.
