Of the divine original, authority, self-evidencing light, and power of the Scriptures. With an answer to that enquiry, how we know the Scriptures to be the Word of God. Also a vindication of the purity and integrity of the Hebrew and Greek texts of the Old and New Testament; in some considerations on the prolegomena, & appendix to the late Biblia polyglotta.

He that shall read and consider what ⟨p. 341⟩Hierome hath written of this Translation even then when he was excusing himself, and condescended to the utmost to wave the envy that was coming one him, upon his new Translation, in the second Book of his Apology against Ruffinus, Cap. 8. 9; repeating and mollifying what he had spoken of it in an other place, will be enabled in some measure to guess of what account it ought to be with us. In brief he tells us, it is corrupt, interpolated; mingled by Origen with that of Theodotion marked with Asterisks and Obelisks; that there were so many Copies of it, and they so varying, that no man knew what to follow; tells us of a learned man who on that account interpreted all the Errors he could light on for Scripture; that in the Book of Job take away what was added to it by Origen, or is marked by him, and little will be left; his discourse is too long to transcribe; see also his Epistle to Chromatius at large to this purpose. Let the Reader also consult the learned ⟨p. 342⟩Masius in his Preface to his most learned Comment on Joshua.
