We acknowledge readily the gifts of God in M. Broughton, and that he was an excellent Linguist, yet we do not believe that Greek and Hebrew dwelt with him. Isaiah speaking Hebrew by the Spirit of God telleth us that Christ suffered the wrath of God, Chap. 53. the like doth Paul speaking Greek from the same spirit, 2 Cor. 5.21. Gal. 3.13. Doubtless Isaiah could speak Hebrew, and Paul (who spake with tongues more then they all) could speak Greek ⟨p. 126⟩as well, and the Spirit of God by which they both spake, could speak both Hebrew and Greek better then M. Broughton. Sure, the Author is not of his mind whom Erasmus observeth to have said openly, that Paul was ignorant of the Greek Grammar.
