FVLK. 3. If you take more labour than you are wel able to beare, yet shall you proue it no hereticall corru∣ption. As Castaleo, and Illyricus, the one an heretike, the other a schismatike, haue inueyed against Beza, so hath he sufficiently confuted them. But to our English trans∣lation, where in the margent, they say, life, or person, when in the text they say soule: what doeth this offende you? They render the vsuall English word for the Greke word, but they admonish the reader, that the word soule in this place signifieth not the soule separated from the bodie▪ but either the life, or the whole person. Because that although the bodie onely be layed in the graue▪ yet

according to vulgar speache and sense, the whole man is sayed to be buried, and his life seemeth to be inclosed in the graue, according to which popular and humane con∣ceyt, the Prophet in that Psalme speaketh, as appeareth in the later parte of that verse, which is all one in sense with the former. Neither wilt thou giue thy holy one to see corruption: where corruption which is proper onely to the bodie is there spoken generally of the whole man. If this expositiō please you not, yet you haue no cause to finde fault with the translation, which in that place is ac∣cording to the cōmon and ordinarie signification of the Greeke worde 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, soule. Which as it is somtime taken* 1.1 for the whole person, as you note, Act. 7. 14. So is it here, as the later parte of the verse doth most plainly declare.
