MART. 10. Where the Hebrewe saith, Achaz king of Israel, 2. Paralip. 28. v. 19. which is not true, you are compelled to translate, Achaz king of Iuda, as the truth is, and as it is in the Greeke and the vulgar Latine. yet some of your Bibles folow the falshode of the Hebrew.
FVLK. 10. While you take vppon you, to discouer faults in the hebrue text, you bring three exāples, which if they were all faultes, containe no matter of doctrine, whereby we may be deceiued in any article of faith.

Reg. 17. v. 4. so that, when there was none other King of Israel to account of, Achaz might be called king of Israel, as also in the same chapter the last verse, though he were buried at Ierusalem, and in the citie of Dauid, it is saide, that he was not laide in the sepulchres of the Kings of Israel: where your vulgare Latine text hath, Is∣rael, and not Iuda.
