a_o hundred_o year_n proclaim_v through_o the_o ear_n of_o christendom_n that_o the_o roman_a church_n resist_v the_o know_a truth_n and_o the_o evident_a testimony_n of_o the_o write_a word_n of_o god_n a_o heavy_a accusation_n i_o demand_v in_o the_o poursuit_n of_o this_o discourse_n that_o these_o testimony_n be_v cite_v and_o evidence_v out_o of_o the_o authentical_a edition_n and_o original_a language_n of_o the_o holy_a bible_n in_o place_n of_o these_o they_o press_v the_o word_n of_o their_o own_o late_a translation_n these_o i_o prove_v to_o be_v dissonant_n &_o dissagree_v from_o the_o original_n and_o so_o not_o the_o word_n of_o true_a scripture_n but_o of_o a_o false_a translation_n will_v make_v against_o us._n they_o tell_v i_o that_o whatsoever_o the_o word_n be_v in_o the_o original_n yet_o the_o sense_n be_v evident_o against_o the_o roman_a church_n i_o demand_v how_o shall_v the_o sense_n at_o least_o in_o their_o principle_n of_o sole_a scripture_n ever_o evident_o appear_v but_o by_o the_o word_n of_o the_o original_n they_o tell_v i_o whatsoever_o the_o word_n be_v yet_o the_o sense_n be_v evident_a i_o reply_v that_o i_o be_o nothing_o mow_v with_o their_o sa_n without_o their_o prow_n they_o bid_v i_o prove_v that_o it_o be_v not_o evident_a i_o tell_v they_o that_o it_o belong_v to_o he_o who_o affirm_v to_o prove_v his_o own_o assertion_n which_o if_o they_o refuse_v the_o whole_a world_n will_v discover_v that_o they_o have_v nothing_o evident_a in_o the_o whole_a bible_n against_o the_o tenet_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n yet_o to_o comply_v beyond_o all_o obligation_n i_o undertake_v to_o prove_v that_o the_o text_n which_o they_o most_o press_v against_o we_o be_v neither_o evident_a not_o so_o much_o as_o probable_a but_o evident_o insufficient_a and_o not_o so_o much_o as_o capable_a of_o that_o sense_n which_o they_o draw_v from_o they_o to_o make_v they_o sound_v against_o we_o and_o consequent_o nothing_o but_o pure_a mistake_n and_o yet_o far_o that_o nothing_o may_v be_v want_v to_o a_o full_a victory_n i_o press_v against_o they_o clear_a word_n either_o out_o of_o their_o own_o translation_n or_o out_o of_o the_o original_n the_o force_n whereof_o they_o can_v possible_o avoid_v but_o either_o by_o denijng_n the_o plain_a and_o proper_a sense_n of_o the_o word_n and_o fly_v to_o trope_n and_o figure_n &_o impropriety_n &_o shadow_n and_o abscurity_n and_o that_o without_o any_o necessity_n save_v only_o of_o mainteyn_v their_o own_o assertion_n or_o translate_n the_o word_n in_o a_o secondary_a signification_n leave_v the_o primary_n and_o most_o proper_a when_o it_o make_v against_o they_o which_o notwithstanding_o they_o put_v in_o other_o place_n where_o it_o make_v not_o against_o they_o or_o by_o translate_n the_o word_n quite_o contrary_a to_o the_o original_n even_o by_o their_o own_o acknowledgement_n or_o when_o they_o be_v so_o trough_o press_v that_o their_o be_v no_o way_n of_o escape_v to_o reject_v the_o express_a word_n of_o the_o never_o question_v original_a and_o affirm_v that_o they_o creep_v out_o the_o margin_n into_o the_o text_n the_o discovery_n of_o these_o and_o such_o like_a particular_n be_v the_o main_a drift_n and_o sum_n of_o this_o treatis_fw-la which_o i_o have_v entitle_v scripture_n mistake_v the_o ground_n of_o

importunity_n of_o friend_n i_o condescend_v that_o it_o may_v pass_v the_o print_n hope_v that_o some_o may_v reap_v profit_n from_o it_o and_o therefore_o couch_v it_o in_o a_o plain_a &_o easy_a stile_n that_o not_o only_o the_o learned_a but_o the_o vulgar_a also_o may_v understand_v it_o i_o keep_v myself_o close_o to_o scripture_n in_o the_o whole_a process_n and_o connexion_n of_o my_o

i_o have_v read_v and_o diligent_o examine_v myself_o in_o what_o language_n foever_o i_o cite_v they_o and_o therefore_o if_o any_o false_a deal_n be_v find_v in_o the_o citation_n i_o be_o content_a as_o in_o that_o case_n i_o shall_v well_o deserve_v to_o bear_v the_o shame_n of_o it_o the_o text_n whieh_o i_o answer_v be_v those_o which_o be_v common_o and_o chief_o stand_v upon_o by_o

maintain_v by_o our_o adversary_n so_o that_o i_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o doubt_v if_o the_o reader_n be_v once_o convince_v that_o they_o have_v no_o ground_n against_o we_o even_o in_o their_o own_o bible_n in_o these_o main_n and_o radical_a controversy_n as_o i_o be_o in_o great_a hope_n they_o will_v be_v that_o they_o will_v at_o least_o begin_v to_o suspect_v the_o weakness_n of_o their_o own_o and_o to_o diseover_o the_o strength_n of_o our_o cause_n and_o so_o put_v themselves_o in_o a_o fare_n way_n of_o return_v to_o the_o bosom_n of_o that_o mother-church_n from_o which_o
