MART. 20. If the English Geneua Bibles them selues dare not follow their Maister Beza, whom they professe to tran∣slate, because in their opinion he goeth wide, and that in places of controuersie: how wilfull was he in so translating? See chap. 12. num. 6. 8. chap. 13. num. 1.

FVLK. 20. It is a very impudent slaunder. The Ge∣neua Bibles doe not professe to translate out of Bezaes Latine translation, but out of the Hebrew & Greeke, & if they agree not alwaies with Beza▪ what is that to the pur∣pose, if they agree with the truth of the originall text? Beza often times followeth the purer phrase of the La∣tine tongue, which they neither woulde, nor might fol∣low in the English. If in dissenting from Beza, or Beza from them, they or he dissent from the truth, it is of hu∣mane frailtie, & not of hereticall wilfulnes. The places being examined, shall discouer your vanitie.
