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.

FVLK. 2. None but fooles considering what I haue brought of the vsage of that worde 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 wil iudge that it signifieth onely iustifications: and all wise men may see that we haue good warrant to translate it other∣wise in the Greeke Testament, where it must needes haue

an other signification. The concurrence of workes with faith to iustificatiō before God, which the Apostle doth exclude. Rom. 3. we may not admit. But iustification by workes, as Saint Iames teacheth, we doe acknowe∣ledge. I hope you will not saye, that your Latine tran∣slator against iustification by workes, translated the worde so often ceremonies, or that ceremonies of the lawe doe concurre to iustification by faith. The com∣maundements in deede are called iustifications, because the workes of the lawe, if a man keepe it wholy, are able to iustifie. Not that euery ceremonie or obseruation of any peece of the law, is a iustification, ••or maketh a man iust: which you may better say, vpon the etymologie of the worde, than that euery particular obseruation of the lawe, or good worke, doth concurre with faith vnto iu∣stification.
