vpon that place, that this is the Iewes pointing or reading of the worde, against the honour of Christe: the true reading and translation being as he interpreteth it, for he is reputed high▪ and therefore beware of him. Otherwise (as S. Hierom saith) what a consequence were this, or who would commend a∣ny man thus, Take heede ye offende not him, who is no∣thing esteemed? yet that is your translation. Neyther doth the Greeke helpe you which (if the accent be truely put) i•• thus, because he is reputed for some body or some thing▪* 1.3 as S. Paule speaketh of the chiefe Apostles, and it is our phrase in the commendation of a man.
FVLK. 7. So long as you acknowledge, wee haue translated truely according to the Hebrue texte that we reade, there is no reason, that you should burden vs with false interpretation. The Septuaginta, as Hierome con∣fesseth, did reade as we doe, and plaine it is, not oneli•• by the vowels, but also by the contexte, that so it muste be read. For the Prophet disswadeth the people from putting affiance in any mortall man, for God wil bring downe the pride of all suche, as they truste moste in, as it followeth in the next chapiter, whereof this verse should be the beginning. The dismembring whereof, by the ill diuision of the Chapiter, deceiued Hierome, to think the Prophet spake of Christe, when he spake of a prowd man▪ whose breath was in his nostrels, and therefore he was of no strength: euen as Dauid vseth the same argu∣ment, Psalme. 146. for the purpose, The Chaldee Pa∣raphrase also did reade, euen as the Septuaginta.
