Here thou hast (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 / and compared it unto the Greek / and 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 all together 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 / and the future tense is the optative mode also / and the future tense is oft the imperative mode in the active voice / and in the passive ever. Likewise person for person / number for number / and an interrogation for a conditional / and such like is with the Hebrews a common usage.

Whose preterperfectence and presenttence is ofte both one / and the futuretence is the optative mode also / and the future tence is ofte the imperatyve mode in the actyve voyce / and in the passyve ever. Lykewyse person for person / nombre for nombre / and an interroga•ion for a cō dicionall / and soche lyke is with the Hebrues a comen vsage.

I have also in many places set light in the margent / to understand the text by. If any man find faults ether with the translation or ought beside (which is easier for many to do / then so well to have translated it them selves of their own pregnant wits / at the beginning without foreign sample) to the same it shall be lawful to translate it them selves and to put what they lust thereto.
