TO THE READER.
Thebeft ■things haue
Eale to promote the common good, whether it be by deuifing any thing our ielues , or reuifing that which hath bene laboured by o- thers, deferucth certainly much rtfpetd and edeeme,bucyetfindeth ^iarc5Tium but cold intertainnient in the world. It is welco) nmed with fufpi- cion in Head of loue, and with emulation in dead of thankes : and if there be any hole left for cauill to enter,(and cauill,ifit doc not finde a hole, wi ; 1 make one ) it is i lire to bee mifcondrued , and in danger to be condemn ed. This will eafiiy be granted by as many as know flory , or haue any experience. For , was there euer any thing pro- ieded,thatfauoured anyway ofnewnefTe or renewing, but the fame
endured many a dorme of game-faying, or oppcdtion ? A man would thinke that Ciuilitie , hole' fbme Lawes, learning and eloquence, Synods, and Church-maintenance, (that we fpeake of no more things of this kinde ) (hould be as fafe as a San&uary , and j] out offhot , as they fay , that no man would lift vp the heele,no,nor doggemooue his tongue againd the motionersof them. For by the fird,we arc d idinguiftied from bruit-beads led with fenfualitie : By the fecond, We are bridled and re- drained from outragious behauiour^and from doing of iniuries,wh ether by fraud or by violence: By the third, we are enabled to informe and reforme others, by the light and feeling that we haue attai¬ ned vnto our fellies : Briefly, by the fourth being brought together to a parle face to face, we feoner compofe our differences then by writings, which are endlef le : And laftly, chat the Church be fuffi- ciently prouided for, is fo agreeable togood reafbn and conference, that thofe mothers are holdcn to be lefTe cruell, that kill their children afioone as they are borne , then thofe nourfing fathers and mo¬ thers (wherefoeu er they be)that withdraw from them who hang vpon their breads (and vpon whofe breads againe themfelues doe hang toreceiuethe Spiritual! and fincere milkeofthe word)liuely- hood and fupport fit for their edates. Thus it is apparent, that thefe things which we fpeake of,are of mod neceflary vfe,and therefore, that none, either without abfurditie can fpeake againd them, or without note ofwickedneffe can fpurne againd them.
Yet for all that, the learned know that certaine worthy men haue bene brought to vmimely death for none other fault-but for feeking to reduce their Countrey-men to good order and difeipline : and that in fbme Common-weales it was made a capital! crime, once to motion the making of a new Law for the abrogating of an old, though the fame were mod pernicious : And that certaine, which would be counted pillars ofthe Statc,andpaternes oiVertuean d Prudence, could not be brought for a long time to giue way to good Letters and refined fpeech , but bare themfelues as auerfe from them, as from rocks or boxes of poifon : And fourthly , that hee was no babe, but a great clearke , that gaue fobrth (and in writing to reman ie to podcritie ) in paffion pcraduenture,but yethe gaue foorth,that hee had not feene any profit to come by any Synode, or meeting of the Clergie, but rather the con¬ trary : And laftly, again d Church-mainrenancc and allowance, in fuchfort, as theHmbaiTadorsand meffengers of the great King of Kings (hould befumifhed,itisnot vnknowen what a fidion or fable ( fo it is edeemed, and for no better by the reporter himfel fe , though fuperftitious > was deuifed j Namely , that at fuch time as the profeflours and teachers of Chriftianitie in the Church of Rome, then a true Church, were liberally endowed, a voyceforfooth was heard from heauen, faying) Now is poifon nowred down into the Church,&c. Thus not only as oft as we fpeake, as one faith, but alfo as oft as we do any thing of note or confequence, we fubied our felues to euery ones cenfure,and happy
as the great Commander charged his fbuldiers in a certaine battell,to drike at no part of the enemie, but at the face ; And as the King of Syritu commanded his chiefe Captaines to fight neither Wth /mall nor great > faue onely againU the ifiing of Ifrael : fb it is too true, that Enuie drifceth mod fpitefully at the faired, and at the chiefed. 'Bauid was a worthy Prince , and no man to be compared to him for his fird deedcs , and yet for as worthy an a<Ae as euer he did ( euen for bringing backe the iirke of God In folemnitie) he was feorned andfeofted at by his ownewife.

But what mention wee three or fo ure vies of the Scripture } whereas w hatfoeuer is to be beleeued or pradifed , or hoped for , is contained fo them ? or three or foure fentences of the Fathers , fince whofoeuer is worthy the name of a Father, from Chrifts time downeward, hath like wife written not onely of the riches, but alio of the perfection o f th e S cripture ? I adore tbefulnejje of the Scripture 7 faith Tertullian a ga in ft Hermogenes. A nd agai n e, to Apelles anHeretike of the iikeftampe,he faith 3 1 doe not admit that which thoubringefl in ( or con¬ cluded:) of thine owne (head or ftore , de tuo ) without Scripture. So Saint luUin Martyr before him 5 Wee mufi know by altmeanes , faith hee, that it is not lawful 1 (or poffible) to learne (any thing) of God or of right pie tie , faue onely out of the Prophets , Who teach <vs by diuine inspiration. So Saint Bafil after Tertullian, It is a manifefi falling away from the Faith , and a fault of preemption , either to reieB any of thofe things that are written , or to bring in (vpon the head of them y*i<&&) any of thofe things that are not written. Wee omit to cite to the fame efteft, S. Cyrill B. of Hterufalem in his 4, (fatachef. Saint Hierome againft Heluidim , Saint AuguIUne in his 3 . booke againft the letters of Tetilian 7 and in very many other places of his workes. Alio we forbeare to defeend to latter Fathers, becaufe wee will not wearie the reader. The Scriptures then being acknowledged to bee fo full and fo perfeCl ? how can wee excufc our felues of negligence, if we doe not 1 aidiethem, of curioJitie, if we be not content with them ? Men talke much of how many fweete and goodly things it had hanging on it 3 of the
Phiiofophers done , that it turneth copper into go d 3 of Qornu-copia , that it had al ti lings neceflary for foode in it r of Panaces the herbe5that it was good for all difeafes ; of Catholicon the drugge, that it is in dead of all purges • of Vulcans armour, that is was an armour ofproo e again; t all thruifs, and all blowes^&c. Well , that which they falfty or vainely attributed to thefe thingsfor bodily go^d, wee may iufUy and with full meafure aferibe vnto the Scripture/or fpirituall. It is not onely an armour, but alfo a whole armorie of weapons, both oftenfiue,and defenfiue ; whereby we may faue our felues and put the enemie to flight. It is not an herbe^but a tree, or radiera whole paradife of trees of life, which bring foorth fruit euery nioneth , and the fruit thereof is for meate , and the leaues for medi¬ cine. It is not a pot of Manna , or a crufe of oyle, which were for rhemorie only, or for a meales meate or two3 butas it were a fhowre of heauenly bread fufficient for a who’ehoft, be it neuer fo great ; and as it were a whole cellar full of oyle vefiels ; whereby all our necefsities may beprouided for , and our debts difeharged. In a word,itis a Panary of holefome foode, agaimt fenov\?ed traditions; a Phyfi- ons-fhop (Saint (Bafillc alleth it) of preferuatiues againft poifoned herefies 3 a PandeCt of profitable !awes?againft rebellious fpirits; a treafurie of moft coftly ieweis , againft beggarly rudiments 3 Finally a fountaine of moft pure water /bringing vp vnto euerlafting life. And what maruaile ? The original; thereof being from heauen?not from earth; the authour being God, not man ; the en direr , the holy /pint, not the wit of the Apoftles or Prophets 3 the Pen-men fuch as were dandified from die wombe, and endewed with a principall portion of Gods fpirit* the matter, veritie, pietie, puritie^vprightnefl'ej the forme,Gods w;ord, Gods teftimonie, Gods oracles, the word of trueth, the word of faluation3&c. the effeds , light of vnderftanding,ftablenefie of perfvvafion, repentance from dead workes, newnefTe of life,holinefte, peace, ioy in the holy Ghoft ; laftly,the end and reward of the ftudie thereof, fellow- fhip with the Saints, participation of the heauenly nature, fruition of an inheritance immortal!, vnde- filed, and that neuer fhallfade away : Happie is the man that delighteth in the Scripture , and thrife happie that meditateth in it day and night.
But how (hall men meditate in that, which they cannot vnderftand ? How fhall they vnderftand that which is kept clofe in an vnknowen tongue ? as it is written , Except I know the power of the nooyce, I fhall be to him that Jpeaketh,a $arbarian,and he that Jpeaketbyfialbe a Barbarian to me. The Apofele ex- cepteth no tongue; not Hebrewe the ancienteft, not Greeke the moft copious, not Latine the fineft. Nature taught a natural: man to confeffe,that all of vs in thofe tongues which wee doe not vnder¬ ftand, are plainely deafe 3 wee may turne the deafe eare vnto them. The Scythian counted the Athe* man, whom he did not vnderftand, barbarous : fo the Romans did the Syrian , and the lew , (euen S.

Therefore the word of God being let foorth in Greeke, becommeth hereby like a candle fee vpon a candlefticke winch giueth light to all that ate in thehoufe , or like a proclamation foundedfoortlrin theraatket place, which molt men prefently take knowledge of 5 and therefore that language was fitteil to con- tamt theScnptures, both for the firft Preachers of the Gofpel to appeale vntofor wicnefle,and for the earners alfo of thofe times to make fearch and trial! by.

vnto him, in a debtoffpeciall remembrance and thankefultiefle.
Now though the Church were thus furnifhedwith Grech and Latine Tranflations , euen before the faith of cli r i s t was generally embraced in the Empire : ( tor the learned know that euen in S. Hieroms time, the Conful of ityme and his wife were both Ethnicks,and about the fame time the grea- teft pare of the Senate alfo ) yet for al 1 that the godly-learned were not content to haue the Scriptures in the Language which themfeiues vnderftood , Greeke and Latins ,( as the good Lepers were not content toTareweil themfeiues, butacquainted their neighbours with the ftore that God had fent, that they alio mi^ht prouide for themfeiues J but alfo for die behoofe and edifying of the vnlearned which hundred and hirfted after Righteoufnefle, and hadfoules to be faued afwell as they, they pro- uided Tranflations into the vulgar for their Countreymen, infomuch that mod nations vndei hca- uen did fhortly after their conuerflon , heare Christ fpeakmg vnto them in their mothci tongue, nor by thevoyce of their Mini deronely, but alfo by the written word tranflated. ffany doubt hereof, he may be fatiffied by examples enough, if enough wii ferue the turne.

To this may be added Theodoras next vnto him, both forantiquitie,and for learning.

I Iowbeit, it feerned too much to Qlement the 8. that there fhould be any Licence granted to haue them in the vulgar tongue, and therefore he ouerruleth and fruftrateth the grant of Tins the fourth. So much are they afraid of the light of the S cripture,(X#c ifug* Scripturarum^ Tertullian fpeaketh ) that they will not trud the people with it , no not as it is fet foorth by their owne fworne men , no not with the Licence of their owne Bifhops and Inquifitors. Yea,fo vn willing they are to communicate the Scriptures to the peo¬ ples vnderdanding in any fort, that they are not afhamed to confefe , that wee forced them to tram flate it into English againft their wills. This feemethto argue a bad caufe, or a bad conscience, or both. Sure we are, that it is not he that hath good gold, thatis afraid to bring it to the touch- flone, but he that hath the counterfeit ; neither is it the true man that ft runneth the light, but the malefa- dour, left his deedes fhould be reproued : neither is it the pla ine d ea ling Merchant that is vn willing to haue the waights,or the meteyard brought in place, but he that vfeth deceit. But we will let them alone for this fault, and return e to tranflation.
Many mens mouths haue bene open a good while (and yet are not flopped) with (peeches about the Tranflation fo long in hand,or rather perufals ofTranflations made before : and aske what may be the reafon, what the neceffitie ofthe employment : Hath the Church bene deeeiued, fay they, all this while ? Hath her fweet bread bene mingled with leauen, her fiber with drofle, her wine with wa¬ ter, her milke with lime } {ImB$ gypfummctU mifeetur^ faith SJmeyJWehopcd that we had bene in the right way , that we had had the Oracles of God deiiuered vnto vs, and that though all the world had caufe to be offended and to complain e , yet that we had none. Hath the nurfe holden out the breaft, and nothing but winde in it ? Hath the bread bene deiiuered by the fathers of the Church, and thef^me proued to be lapidoftes, as Seneca fpeaketh ? What is it to handle the word of God de¬ ceitfully, if this be not ? Thus certaine brethren. Alfo the aduerfaries of Judah and Hierufaletn^kt Sanballat in Nebemiab, mocke, as we heare, both at the worke and work mien, faying ; What doe thefe tueake Jewes&c. sotU they make the ftones whole againe out ofthe heapes of dujl which are burnt ? although they build , yet if afoxegoe'Vp 3 he fJ)aU euen breake downe their flony Wail. Was their Tranflation good before? Why doe they now mend it ? Was it not good? Why then was it obtruded to the people?
Yea , why did the Catholicks ( meaning Popifh %omariifl$) alwayesgoe in ieopardie, for refufing to goe to heare it ? Nay3 if it mud be tranflated into Englifh, Catholicks a re fitted to doe it. They haue learnin g , and they know when a thing is wel 1 , th ey can manum de tabula . W ee will anfwere them

Thus S.Hie- rome may be thought to fpeake. ■
And to the fame efFed iay wee, that we are fo farre off from condemning any of their labours that traueiled before vs in this kinde, either in this land or beyondfea, either in King Henries time, or King Edwards (ii there were any tranflation, or corredionof a tranflation in his time) orQueene Elizabeths of euer- renoumed memorie, that we acknowledge them to haue beene railed vp of God, for the building andfurnifhingofhis Church , and that they defer ue to be had of vs and of poderitie in euerlafling remembrance. The Judgement of AriUotle is worthy and well feno wen : Jf Tt mot he us * 'Ar,n-umt*' had not bene , we had not had much fweet mufekey bat if Phrynis (Timothem his mader) had not beene , wee had not had Ttmotheus. Therefore bleiled be they, and mod honoured be their name, that breake the yce,and giue th onfet vpon that which helpeth forward to the lauing of foules. Now what can bee more auaileable thereto , then to deiiuer Gods booke vnto Gods people in a tongue which they vn- derdand ? Since of an hidden treafure,and of a fountaine that is fealed, there is no profit, as Ttolomee Philadelph wrote to the Rabbins or maders ofthe [ewes, as witnefleth Epiphanim : and as S. ^ugufline faith ; A man had rather he with hts dog then with a jlranger( whofe tongue is drange vnto him.)

witnefleth. * How many bookes of profane learning haue bene gone ouer againe and againe , by the fame translators, by others. ? Ox one and the fame booke of jir'tilotks Ethikes , there are extant not fo few as fixe or feuen feuerall tranflations. Now if this cod may bee bellowed vpon the goord, which affordeth vs a little fhade , and which to day flourifheth , but to morrow is cut downe; what may wc beftow,nay what ought we not to bellow vpon the V iue,the fruire whereof maketh glad the conference of man , and the ftemme whereofabideth lor euer ? And this is die word of Got , which wc tranflate. What is the chafe to the ‘toheaty faith the Lord ? Tanti <vitreum>quanti yerum margaritum (faith Ttrtu!Han> ) if a toy of glafTe be of that rekoning with vs , how ought wee to value the true pearlc * Therefore let no mans eye be euill,becaufe his Maiefties is good ; neither let any be grieued, that wee haue a Prince that feeketh the increafe of the Ipirituall wealth o t Ifraei (let Sanhallats and Tobiahs doe fo, which therefore doc bcarc their iuft reproofe) but let vs rather blefle God from the ground ofour heart, for working this religious care in him, to haue the tranflations of the Bible maturely confide- redof and examined. For by this meanes it commeth to pafie , that whatfoeuer is found alreadie (and all is found for fubtlance, in oneor other of our editions , and the word ot ours farre better then their autentike vulgar) die fame willfhine as gold more brightly, being rubbed and. polifhcd ; alfb , it any thing be halting, or fuperfluous, or not fo agreeab e to the original!, the fame may bee corredfed, and the trueth fct in place. And what can the King command to bee done, that will bring him more true honour then this ? and wherein could diey that haue beene fee a worke, approue their duetie to the King, yea their obedience to God,and loue to his Saints more, then by yeelding their feruice , and all that is within them, for the furnifhing of the worke ? But befldes all this , they w :re the principal! motiucs ofit,and therefore ought lead to quarrell it : for the very Hiftoricali trueth is , thay pon the importunate petitions of the Puritanes, at his Maicfties comming to this Crovvne , the Conference at Hampton Court hauing bene appointed for hearing their complaints : when by force of reafon they were put from all other grounds , they had recourfeat the lad, to this fhift , that they could not with good confeience fubferibe to the Communion booke , fince it maintained the Bible as it was there tranflated, which was as they faid, a mod corrupted tranflation. And although this was indeed to be but avery poore and emptiefhiftj yet euen hereupon did hisMaieftie beginne to bethinke him- fclfe of the good that might enfue by a new tranflation, and prefently after gaue order for this TranC- lation which is now prefented vnto thee. Thus much to fatiffie our forupulous Brethren.
Now to the later we anfwere • that wee doe not deny, nay weeaffirmeand auowf, that the very meaneft tranflation ofthe Bible in Englifh , fetfoorthby men of our profefsion for wee haue foenc none of theirs of the whole Bible as yet)cotnaincth the word of God, nay, is the word of God. As the Kings Speech which hee vttered in Parliament, being tranflated into French , Dutch , Italian anti Latinty is dill the Kings Speech, though it be not interpreted by euery Tranflator with the like grace . nor peraduenture fo fitly for phrafe, nor fo exprefly for fence, euery w here. For it is confefled,rhat tnings are to take their denomination of the greater part • and a naturall man could fay, Verumybi multa nhsnt in carmine , non ego paucis ojfcndor maculis , (g^c, A man may be co unted a vertuous nia n , though hee haue made many flips in his life, (els, there were none vertuous, for in many things ve of fend ad) alfoa comely man and louety, though hee haue fome warts vpon his hand,yea,notonely treakles vpon his face, but alfo fkarres. No caufe therefore why the word tranflated fhould bee de¬ nied to be the wo rd,or forbidden to be currant, notwithflandiog that fome imperfedions and blemi- fhes may be noted in the fetting foorth of it. For what euer was perfed vnder the Sunne, where A- poftlesor Apodolifee men, that is, men indued with an extraordinary mcafure of Gods fpirit,and priuil edged with the priuiledge of infallibilities had not their hand? The Romanides therefore in refufing to heare,and daring to burne the Word tranflated, did no lefle then defpitc the fpirit of grace, from whom originally it proceeded, and whofe fenfe and meaning,as well as mans weakenefle would enable, it did exprefle. Iudge by an example or two. Plutarch wrueth, that after that ®ome had beene burnt by the Gallesy they fell foone to builde it againe : but doing it in hade , they did not cad the dreets, nor proportion the houfes in fuchcomeiy fafhion,asliad bene mod lightly and con- uenient } was (faMM there fore an honed man, or a good Pa triot,thaf fought to bring It to a comba- dun? o r Ftyo a good Prince, that did indeed fet it on fire? So, by the dory of E^raby and the pro- p; iefie of Haggai it-may be gathered, that the' Temple built by Zeruhbabel after the returne from* W fh n, "as by no meanes to bee compared to the former built by Solomon ( for they that remembred u C ioi ne , wept when they confider ed the later ; notwithdanding, might this later either haue bene abhorred and forfeited by the lewes, or prophaned by the Greeks ? The like wee arc to thinke of T i L; flat ons. The tranflation of the Seuentit didenteth from the Original! in many places, neither

Nay, they vfed it, (as it is apparent, and as Saint Herome and moft learned men doe confe/Ie) which they would not haue done, nor by their example of vfing it, to grace and com¬ mend it to the Church, if it had bene vn worthy the appellation and name of the word of God. And whereas they vrge or their fecond defence of their vilifying and abufing of the Engl'tjh Bibles,or fome pieces thereof, which they meete with, for that heretikes (forfooth) were the Authoursof the tran llations, ( heretikes they cad vs by the fame right that they call themfelues Catholikes, both be¬ ing wrong) wee marueile what diuinitie taught them fo. Wee are fure Tertullian was of another minde : Ex per fonts probamits fidm an ex fide^perfotm ? Doe we trie mens faith by their perfons ? we (hould trie their perfons by their faith. Ai fo S. jiuguflim was of an other minde : for he lighting vp- on certaine rules made by Tychonius a Donatiil, for the better vnderfhndingof the word, was not a- fhamed to make vfe of them, yea,to infer c them into his owne booke, withgiuing commendation to them fo farre foovth as they were worthy to be commended, as is to be feene in S. Auguflines third booke De doBrind Chrijlmd. To be i hort,Orige«;and thewhole Church of God for certain hundred yeeres,were of an other minde : for they were fb farre from treading vnder foote, ( much more from burning) theTranllation of Aquila a Pro (elite, that is,one that had turned lews of Symmachus, and Tbeododon ?both Ebtonttes, that is, mod vile heretikes j that they ioyned them together with the He* brew Original! ,and the T ranflation of the Seuentie( as hath bene before fignrfied out of Epiphanius) and fee them forth openly to be confidered of and perufed by a! L But we weary the vnlearned,who need not know fo much, and trouble the learned, who know it already.
Yet before we end, we muftani were a third cauiil and obiedfion of theirs againff vs , for altering and amending our Taanflations fo oft ; wherein truely they deale hardly, and ff rangely with vs. For to whom euer was it imputed tor a fault ( by fuch as were wile) to goeouer that which hee had done, and toamend it where he faw caufe ? Saint Augufline was not afraide to exhort S. Hierome to a Pali - nodia or recantation j the fame S, Augufline was not afhamed to retraffate, we might fay reuoke, ma¬ ny things that had palled him, and doth euen glory that he feeth his infirmities. If we will be fonnes ofthe Trueth,wemuft confider what icfpeaketh, and trample vpon our owne credit , yea , and vpon other mens too, if either beany way an hinderance to it.

For what varieties haue they, and what alcerationshauethevmade,notonelyoftheir Seruice bookes , Portefiesand Breuianes, butalfoof their Latine T ranflation ? The S er uice booke fuppofed to be made by S.Ambrofe ( Offidum Ambro- fianum) was a great while in fpeciall vfe and requef.i : but Pope Hadrian calling a Council! with the avde of Qkarles the hmperour,abohfhed ic,yea, burnt it, and commanded the Seruice-booke ofSaint Gregme vniuerfully to be vfed. Well, Offidum Gregorianum gets by this meanes to be in credit, but doeth it continue without change or altering.? No, the very ^omane Seruice was of two fafhions,the New fafhion , and the Old, ( the one vfed in one Church, the other in another) as is to bee feene in Pamdius a Roma niff , his Preface, before Micrologics. The 'amc^Pamelms reporteth out of %adul phus de hat about theyeereof our Lord, 1x77. Pope Nicolas the third remou eel out of the Churches oi ${ome, die more ancient bookes (os Seruice} and brought into vie the Millais of the Friers Minorites,and commaunded them to bee obferued there ; infcmuch that about an hundred yeeres after, when the aboue named %aaidphus happened to be at ^ome^ he found all the bookes to be new, (of the new ftampe.) Neither was there this chopping and changing in the more ancient times onely, but alfo of late : Pius Quintus himfelfe confefledi, thateuery Biihopricke aim off had a peculiar kind of feruice,moff vniike to that which others had : which moued hirn to abolifh all other Breuianes, though neuerfo ancient , and priuiledged and publifhedby Bifhops in their Diocef fes , and to eftublifh and ratifie that onely which was of his owne fetciftg foprth,in the yeere t ) 6 8. Now, when the father of their Church, who gladly would heale the foare of thedaugheer of his peo¬ ple foftly and lleighdy, and make the bell of it , findeth fo great fault with them for their oddes andL i ai ring j we hope the children haue no great caufe to vaunt of their vniformitie. But the di Terence that appearevh betweene our Transitions, and our often correding of them, is the thingthat wee are specially charged with; let vs fee therefore whether they themfelues bee without fault this way, ( i t it be to be counted a fault, to corredl) and whether they bee fit men to throw ftones at vs : 0 tan¬ dem maior par cos infane minori : they that arc lefle found themfelues, ought not to obi cdt infirmities to others. If we fhould teil them that V dla,Stapulenfis^Erafmus? and Vines found fault with their vulgar Tranflatiop,and confequently wifi red the fame to be mended, or a new one to be made, they would anfwere peraduenture, that we produced their enemies for witneTes again if them ; albeit, they were in no other fort enemies, then as S. Paul was to the Galatians , for telling them the tructh : and it were to be wifhed, that they had dared to tell it them plainlier and ofener. But what will they fay to this, chat Pope Leo the tenth allowed Erafmus Tranflation of the New Teff ament, fo much diFercnt from the vulgar, by his Apo tolike Letter 3c Bull;that the fame Leo exhorted Tagnin to tranflatethe whole

S urely , as the Apoftie reafonetli to the Hebrews , that if the former Law andTeJlament had hem jufficient>there had beene no need of the latter : fo we may fay, that if the olde vulgar had bene at a 1 points allowable^ to final I purpofe had labour and charges bene vndergone, about framing of a new. If they fay , it was one Popes priuate opinion, and that he confultcd onely himfeke,- then wee are able to goe further with them, and to a- uerre, that more of t heir chiefe men of all forts, euen their owne Trent- champions Paiua Sc Vega , and their owne Inquifitors, Hieronymus ah OleaJlro% and their own Bii hop Ifidorus Qlarius , and their owne Cardinal! Thomas a Vio Cretan ^ doe either make newTranflations themfelues, or fo ! low new ones of other mens making , or note the vulgar Interpreter for halting ; none of them feare to diffent from him, nor yet to except againft him. And call they this an vniforme tenour of text and judgement a- bout the text,fo many of their Worthies difcl aiming the now receiued conceit? Nay, we wil yet come neerer the quicke : doth nor their Tar is- edition differ from the Louaine> and Hentenius his from them both, and yet all of them allowed by authoritie? Nay, doth not Sixtus Quintus confefTe , that cer- taine Catholikes ( he mcaneth certaine of his owne fide ) were in fuch an humor of tranflating the Scriptures into Latine , that Satan taking occ afro n by them , though they thought of no fuch matter, dkfftriue what he cou Id, out offovneertaine and manifold a varietie of TranJ lations,fc to mingle all things, that nothing might feeme to be left certaine and firme in them,&c? Nay further, did not the fame Sixtus ordaine by an inuiolable decree , and that with the counfell and confent of his Cardinals, that the Latine edition of the olde and new Teftament, which the Councill of Trent would haue to be authenticke,is the fame without controuerfie which he then fet forth ,. -being diligently corre&ed and printed in the Prinring-houfe of Vatican ? Thus Sixain his Preface before his Bible. And yet Cle¬ ment the eight his immediate fucceilour, publifheth another edition of the Bible , containing in it in¬ finite differences from that oi Sixtus >(znd many of them waightie and material )and yet thiAnufl: be audientike by all meanes. What is to haue the faith of our glorious Lord Iesvs Christ with Y ea and Nay, if this be not ? Againe,whatis fweetharmonie and confent,if this be?

fa Hebrew Volumes Jo of the New by the Greeke tongue, he meanech by the originall Greeke. it trueti > be to be tried 1 > y thefe tongues, then whence fhould a Tranflation be made, but out of them ? Thefe tongues therefore, the Scriptures wee fay in thofe tongues, wee fet before vs to tranilate, being the b wherein God was pleafed to fpeake to his Church by his Prophets and Apoftles. Neither did
we run ouer the worke with that porting hafte that Septuagint did , if that be true which is repor¬
ted of them, that they finiflhed it in 72-. dayes; neither were we barred or hindered from going ouer it aaaine, hauino- once done it, like S.Hmwe,if that be true which himfelfe reporteth,that he could no fooner write any thing, but prefently it was caught from him, and publifhed, and he cou d not haue leaue to mend it : neither, to be (hort,were we the firft that fell in hand with tranflating the Scripture into Encrlifh and confequenrly dertitute of former helpes, as it is written of Origen , that hee was the firif in a maner,daat put his hand to write Commentaries vpon the Scriptures , and therefore no mar- ueile if he ouerfhot himfelfe many times. Noneof thefe things: the worke hath not bene hudledvp in t. da yes , but hath coft the workemen,as light as it feemeth,the paines of t wife feuen times feuen- tie two dayes and more : matters of fuch weight and confequence are to bee fpeeded with maturitie : for in a bufmefleof moment a man feareth not the blame of conuenient flacknefle. Neither did wee thinke much to confult the T ranflators or Commentators , Chaldee, Hebrewe, Syrian , Greeke, or Lame nonorthe^^^R-ewc^Wirfs, or neither did wedifdaineto reuife that which we
had done, and to bring backe to the anuitl that which we had hammered: buthauingandvfingas <rreat helpes as were needful!, and fearing no reproch for flowneffe,norcoueting praife for expedition, ^ haue at the length, through the good hand of the Lord vpon vs, brought the worke to that

r Some peraduenture would haue no varietie of fences to be fet in the marginejeft the authoritie of the ScTfoturcs for deciding of controuerfies by that fhew of vncertaintie,fhould fomewhat be fhaken. But we hold their iudgmec not to be fo found in this point For though, yphatfoeuer things are neceffary are manlfefi , as S. Cbryfottome faith, and as 5. A ugtdline , In thofe things that are plainely jet downe in the Scriptures all fuch matters are found that concerne Faith fope, and Charitie. Yet for all that it cannot be diflembled, that partly to exercife and whet our wits, partly to weane the curiousfrom loathing of them for their euevy-wheve-plakieneffe , partly alfo to rtirre vpour deuotion to craue theafsiffance of Gods fpirit by prayer, and laftly,that we might be forward to feeke ayd of our brethren by confe¬ rence, and neuer fcorne thofe that be not in all refpeds fo complete as they fhould bee, being to feeke in many things our felues,ithath pleafed God in his diuine prouidence , heereand there to fcatter wordes and fen fences of that difticultie and doubtfulnefle,not in do&rinal points that concerne lal- uation ( ( for in fuch it hatlibeene vouched that the Scriptures are plaine ) but in matters of lefle mo- ment that fearefulneffe would better befeeme vs then confidence, and if we will refolue,to refolue vp*= on modeftie with S. JugufUne , (though not in this fame cafe altogether, yet vpon the fame ground ) Mdiits ett dubitarede occultis, qudm litigare de incertU , it is better to make doubt of thofe things which are fecret, then to ftriue about thofe things that are vneertaiue. There be many words in the Scrip¬ tures, which be neuer found there but once, (hauing neither brother nor neighbour, as the Hebrewes fpeake) fo that we cannot be holpen by conference of places. Againe, there be many rare names of certaiae birds , beaftes and precious ftones, &c. concerning which the Hebrewes themfelues are fo di- uided among themfelues for iudgement, that they may feeme to haue defined this or that, rather be* caufethey would fay fomthing,the becaufe they were lure ofthat which they faid,a$ S.Hieromefome- where faith of the Septuagint. Now in fuch a cafe, doth not a margine do well to admonifhthe Reader to feeke further, and not to conclude or dogmatize vpon this or that peremptorily?For as it is a fault of incredulitie, to doubt of thofe things that are euident : fo to determine of fuch things as the Spirit of God hath leftfeuen in the judgment of the iudicious)queftionable,can be no lefle then preemption. Thcrfore as S.^Hgufiine fahhthat varietie of Tranflations is profitable for the finding out of the fenfe of the Scriptures : fo diuerficie offignification and fenfe in the margine, where the text is not fb cleare, muft n cedes doe good, yea,is neceffary, as we are perfwaded. We know that Sixtus Quintus exprefly forbiddeth, that any varietie ofreadings of their Vulgar edition, fhould beput in the margine, (which though it be not altogether the fame thing to that wehaue in hand, yet it lookeththat way ) but we thinke he hath not all of his owne fide his fauourers,for this conceit. They that are wife, had rather haue their iudgements at Iibertie in differences of readings, then to be captiuated to one, when it may be the other. If they were fure that their 1 vie Prieft had all lawesfhut vp in his breft,as Taut the fecond bragged, and that lie were as reefrom errourbyfpeciallpriuiledge,asthe Dictators o i^ome were made by law inuiolab'e,it were an other matter; then his word were an Oracle,his opinion a decifion. But the eyes of the world are now open, God be thanked, and haue bene a great while,they find that he is fubieft to the fame arte &ions and infirmities that others be, that his f kin ispenetrable,and there* fore fo much as heprooueth,not as much as he claimeth,they grant and embrace.

An other china we thinke good to admonifh thee of (gentle Reader) that wee haue not eyed our fellies to an vnifomnde of phrafing , or to an identicie of words, as fomeperaduenture would With that we had donc.becaufe they ob(erue,that fome learned men fome where , haue beene as exaft as they could that way. Truly, that we might not vane from the fenle of chat which we had trail ated before, if the word fignified the fame thing in both places (for there bee fome wordes that bee not of the fame fenfe euery where ) we were efpecially careful!, and made a conference , according to our duetie. But, that we fhould exprefle the fame notion in tie fame particular woid ; as for example, if we tranflate the Hebrew or Greeks word ouce bv Turpofe, neuer to call it Intent ; if one where Iourney - 1 ing ? ncuerTraueiling ; if one where Tbinh , neuer Suppofe ;i[ one where Paine , neuer Ache ; if one where loy neuer Gladnejje , &c. Thus to minfe the matter, wee thought to fauour more of curiofifie then wifedome, and that rather it would breed fcorne in the Atheift, then bring profice to the godly Reader. For is the kingdom e of God become w ords or fyllables 5 why fhould wee be in bondage to them if we may be free, vfe one precisely when wee may vfe another no iefie fit , as commodioufly ? A godly Father in the Primiciue time (hewed him'elfe greatly moued, that one ofnewfanglenes cal-; led «ascc«7«f mfymt) though the difference be little or none; and another reporteth, that he was much abu- fed for turning Cucurbita (to which reading the people had beene vfedj) into Hedera. Isow ifthis hap¬ pen in better times, and vpon lo fmall oceafions , wee might iuftly feare hard cenfure, if generally wee fhouLl make verball and vnneceflary changings. We might alfo be charged (by fcoffers) with fome vnequall dealing towai ds a great number of good Enghth wordes . For as it is written of a certain e g rear Phiiofopher, that hefhouid fuy,that thofe logs were happie th?,t were made images to be wor¬ shipped j toi their fellowes, as good as they , lay for b ockes behinde the fire : foif wee fhould fay, as it were, vnto certaine words Stand vp higher, haue a place in the Bible alwayes , and to others of like qualitie. Get ye hence, be banifhed for euer, wee might be taxed peraduenture with lames his words, namely, To be partiallinourfelues and ittdges of cuill thoughts. Adde hereunto, that nicenefie in wordes was alwayes coun ted the next f lep to trifling , and fo was to bee curious about names too : alfo that we cannot follow a better patterne for elocution then God himfeke ; therefore hee vfing di¬ ners words, in his holy writ, and indifferently for one thing in nature : we, if wee will not befuperftiti- ous, may vfe the fame liber tie in our Englifh vei ffons out of Hebrew 3c Greeks , for that copie or ftore that he hath giuen vs. Laftly , wee haue on the one fide auoided the fcrupulofitie of the Puritanes* who leaue the olde Ecclefiaftieall words , and betake them to other , as when they put ypafl)ing for ! Baptifme , and Congregation in Read of Church : as alfo on the other fide we hauefhunned the obfeuri- rie of the Papiffs, in their A^imes^Tunike, Rational Holocaufts^Prxpuce^afche , and a number of fuch like, whereof their late Tmnllauon is full, an|i that of purpofe to darken the fence, that fince they muff needs tranflate the Bible, yet by the language thereof , it may bee kept from be no* vnderffood. But we delire that the Scripture may fpeake like it felfe , as in the language ofCanaanjhat it may bee v nd er flood euen of the very vulgar.
Many other things we might giue thee Warning of ( gentle Reader ) if wee had not exceeded the meafureof a Preface alreadie. It remaineth, that we commend dree to God , and to the Spirit of his grace jwhich is able to build further then we can aske or thinke. Hee remoueth the feales from our eyes, the vaile from our hearts, opening our wits that wee may vndcrftand his word* en!ar<nno- our hearts, yea correcting our affections, drat we may lone it aboue gold and filueiy yea that we mayloue it to the end. Ye are brought vnto fountainesof liuing water which yee digged notj doenotcaft earth into them with the Philiftines, neither preferre broken pits before them with the wicked Iewes. Others haue laboured, and you may enter into their labours 3 O receiue not fo great things in vainei Odefpifenotfo great faluation!

THE GENEALOGIES OF
Holy Scriptvres.
i.Tjni.r.4.
T o the Chriftian Reader,
e Spirit of God in the facred History, hath hid downe fuch helps ,as are the light and life of all Nations originals. In them the arc am fiances of Pcrfon, Time, and Pi ace, are the chiefs ; elfe ' doe wee wander as without a guide : and ofthefe the Per ion is principal L Genealogies then dr awne from them, from whom all are defended, and by Gods owne warrant recorded vnto vs, mu ft mouc a fteciaU rencrence that they are holy, and far re from thoft other againft which S. Paul writeth. t^mongfi whoft manifold vfts, this is the chief eft, that by them is prooued how Chri ft. was made very man. And therefore in Jeuerall Tables they areheere exhibited euen from their fir ft roote, and fo continued through their ftreading branches,fofarre as the Scripture giueth them ftp. In the reading whereof let theft few directions be thy guides .
1 . Such def cents as hold on from the Parents to their C hild ren , without interruption y are very plaine by their double lines, which r.unnefrom rundle to rundk.
2 . Thoft whoft Paren t s are not certainly knowne , but are named of their C ou ntry , C trie, or Tribe ,are icined each vnder other, with this figure here in themargent.
La. i) n~i 5 . And likewife fuch as are fit in ranks, fide vy fide, and diftinguifhed by this mar gin all mark,
are not to be reputed Brethren, but fomc other Perlons of note, of that def cent where they are ft inftrted .
4. Thenames 0/ Nations 4#^ People, {as likewife fometimes of Cities and other places of note ) wee haue nottncompafftd'mrundles as the reft, but in Compartments, and different letters betwixt direB lines, that fo they might bee knowne from particular perfons, and the Names next vnder them, are not inferted as certainly thence defended jbut as eminent Perfons among them.
7. And where of nccefitty we are tohreake off the ficcefiion, to be continued in fame other pageyhat doewe at fomeprincipall Perfons;4j at the fond with Noali s fonnes, at the Pro mile, with T erah and Abraham ,&c. So that euer the Man at which we breake off, is againe fet in the firft place of feme enfuing page, where his iffue is continued , though many times whole leaues fall betwixt them ; which are /applied with other collaterals : fitch is from Abraham pag. $* vnto his wiucs and [eed,pag. 6. and 7- Cs >c.
a Matth.iv 6. The lineage of our blefted Sauiour (which is our principal! ftope) is knowne by a Chains* l like trade , continued from Adam to Sem,pag. I . and thence to T erah and Abraham, ^4, cJofi in So likewife from Dauid,/>4g.22./0 his fonnes Solomon WNathan,/^. 3 3 . Andlafl-
his third ly^ t0 our Squ \oursparents,pag. 34, lincktd together (as other marriages here are) by the fatlp- vponlihi. t ttre of an ban din hand. Both defended from'Z.oxoBdbed, as the holyiuangelifts haue recorded: ft. fromDmxA, ludah, and Abraham, as Mofcs and the Prophets haue fpoken and Iewes * feff Hi ' thcmfelues thasfarre grant, that MeMcfsiah fhould be the So n ne of a * Virgine, her namc_j Rab.vU. Marie, and fisc of ‘ Bcch-Icbcny/><r daughter o/Eli, of the houfe <?/Zorobabel, and T ribe of Talmud ludah./# allwhich,our Chrift is manifeftly defigned,and by theft Iewes both acknowledged to tife ofsaa- haue been of the 11 bloud-royal,AKdalfo recorded in the number of the Prieftsjn their publike Re - bedm , gifter at lerufale/n , by this title , Iesvs the SONNE of the living aafiadin G 0 D > AND 0 p the virgin MARIE. Thus is he Dauids Some, and Abra*
* 7 h'oiof. hams Metre , inwhom all the kindreds of the earth are blefted, being the very Image of the
the lew in inuifible G od, the bright nejfe of the glory, and the ingrauen forme of his Per -
