MART. 10. Agine, why doth the Geneua newe Testa∣ment make S. Mathew to say, that He (to wit, Ioseph) called his name Iesus? Why not shee, as well as hee? For in S. Luke the Angell saith to our Lady also, Thou shalt call his name Iesus. S. Matthew then speaking indifferently, and not limi∣ting it to him or her, why doe they giue this preeminence to Io∣seph rather than to the B. Virgin? did not both Zacharie and also Elisabeth his wife by reuelation giue the name of Iohn, to Iohn the Baptist? yea did not Elisabeth the mother firste so

name him before Zacharie hir husband? muche more may wee thinke, that the B. Virgine the natural mother of our Sauiour, gaue him the name of Iesus, than Ioseph his putatiue father. specially, if we consider, that the Aungel reu••aled the name first vnto hir, saying, that shee should so cal him: and the Hebrewe word, Esay. 7. wherevnto the Aungel alludeth, is the foeminine gender, and referred by the great Rabbines, Rabbi Abraham, and Rabbi Dauid, vnto hir, saying expresly in their commen∣taries, Et vocabit ipsa puella: and the maide hir self shall call. and surely, the vsual pointing of the Greeke text (for Be∣za maketh other points of his owne) is much more for that pur∣pose. Now, if they wil say, that Theophylacte vnderstandeth it of Ioseph, true it is, and so it maye be vnderstoode very wel: but if it may be vnderstoode, of our Ladie also, and rather of hir, than of him, why dothe your translation exclude this other interpretation?
FVLK. 10. The matter is not worth the waight of an haire, whether wee reade, he called, or, she called, for both called him so. But, because Ioseph had a comman∣dement, in the same chapiter, that hee shoulde call his name Iesus, it is more probable, that S. Mathewe, in this place meant of him, rather than hir: at the least, it is no heretical translation, to saye, that Ioseph didde that, which he was in fewe verses before, commaunded to do: and it was more ordinarie and vsuall, that the man gaue the name, rather than the woman, although, in this case, the woman had more right than the man. As for Eliza∣beths example, prooueth nothing, because shee spake when hir husband was dumbe.
