A defense of the sincere and true translations of the holie Scriptures into the English tong against the manifolde cauils, friuolous quarels, and impudent slaunders of Gregorie Martin, one of the readers of popish diuinitie in the trayterous Seminarie of Rhemes. By William Fvlke D. in Diuinitie, and M. of Pembroke haule in Cambridge. Wherevnto is added a briefe confutation of all such quarrels & cauils, as haue bene of late vttered by diuerse papistes in their English pamphlets, against the writings of the saide William Fvlke.

MART. 27. But concerring the worde image, which you make to be the English of all the Latine, Hebrew, and Greeke wordes, be they neuer so many and so distinct, I beseeche you, what reason had you to translate 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, ima∣ges, Sap. 15. verse 13. doth the Greeke worde so signifie? doth not the sentence following, tell you that it shoulde haue bene translated, grauen idolls? for thus it sayth. They iudged all the idolls of the nations to be Gods. Loe, your images, or rather, loe, the true names of the Pagans gods, which it pleaseth you to call, images, images.

FVLK. 27. I thinke you are not able to proue, that we make, image the English to all the Hebrewe wordes, though you boldly affirme it. But in the place by you mentioned, I suppose they translated the Greeke worde

grauen or carued images, rather than idoll, because the writer in that place, Sap. 15. 13. speaketh of the first fra∣ming and fashioning of those images, which though the purpose of the workeman be neuer so wicked, yet can not properly be called idolls, before they be abused by them that worship them.
