The sonne of God praieth the father that the Iues mighte not be vtterlie slayne and destroyed but scatered abroad throughe the worlde Other countries and nacyōs being subdued of the Romaynes receyued their lawes and rytes and so became Romains but the Iues although that they also were ouercomme of the Romaines yet were they neuer made Romaīs neither ī ordinaūces lawes nor religiō They do kepe their own lawe so farre as they cā euē vnto this daye They wander aboute dispersed and scattered abrode neither do they forget the lawe of Godd they haue it not to obserue it indeede but only they do reade yt ād they do also reteyne certeyn signes as Circūcisiō and other ordinaūces by which they are knowē from others But they offer no sacrifices for to sacrifice was lawfull only at Hierusalē And thus it semeth that the lorde hathe sett vppon them a signe as he dyd vppon Cain which slewe his brother Abell Neither is this their dispersion amonge all the nacions of the worlde vnprofitable for vs. They are braunches brokē of and we are grafted in their place which thinge whilest we do beholde we must acknowledg the iustice of God towards them and his grace towards vs And we muste take hede that we be notlykwise cutt of through vnbelefe for the which they were broken awaie Ther is another cōmoditie besydes this that commith of this their dispersiō which is that they do kepe our bokes the holy byble I do meane These they do carye aboute with them they reade them and thoughe they beleue not because they are blinded yet do they cōfesse that these wrytinges are true And so though they be our enemies in their mynde yet the bokes which they haue and do reuerēce are our witnesses wherfore I cā not maruayle ynoughe at those mē which do persequute and hate the tonge of the Hebrewes and the Hebrewe bibels and do burne them whē as Augustine in his boke De doctrina Christiana dothe bidde that we sholde go to the truithe of the Hebrue tonge if we do doubte in any place of our translations The selfe same thinge dothe Hierome teache in manye places But they saie that these bokes are corrupted of the Iues. Heare I thinke good to answer with Hierome Either saithe he they dyd this before the comminge of Christe and the preachinge of the Apostles or after if before it is maruell that when Christ the Apostles and Paule dyd reproue moste shāfull faultes in the Iues that they wolde haue kepte in silence so greate and haynous a sacriledge as this surelie if it hade bene so they wolde haue reproued yt But if it was done after Christes ascēsiō they wolde thē chieflie haue corrup ted those places which do make mēciō of Christ and those which Christe and his Apostles did alledge But those remayne safe and vncorrupte the same sense and meaninge of thē is in their bible in which they were recyted of Christe and his Apostles for aboute the wordes they were not so curious wherfore it is not lyke that they haue corrupted any other places at all in the holy bokes of the scripture Yea if a mā dothe iustly beholde thē he shall see that they haue many moo testimonies and sentences for vs more plaine I saye then our cōmen translatiō hathe as in the. 2.
