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. 5. If the Englishe word (worthy) did not si∣gnifie a cōparison▪ as wel as the Greke word 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, it were somwhat that you say, but seeing one signifieth as much as the other, there is no more sauour in your disputatiō, than in an egge without salt. When we say, there is no weight of gold to be cōpared to a continent minde, it is all one, as if we said, worthy of a continent minde, for we meant, to be compared in goodnes, price, excellency, &c. And therefore you speake out of measure falsely, & im∣pudentlye, when you say, we meane not that the worde (worthie) in this text of S. Paule, should signifie a com∣parison, for it is not possible that it shoulde signifie o∣therwise. Doth not the Geneua note in the margent say, or of like valure. If you be so blinde, that you can not

see a comparison in the worde worthie, at the least shore vp your eyes, and beholde it in those wordes of like or equall value. For all comparison is either in quantitie or qualitie. And where you say, that you can not ex∣presse your conceite, but onely to the learned, there is none so meanely learned, but they may well laugh at your foolish and vnlearned trifling.
