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. 7. We see the comparison well, but we see not, that worketh or causeth, is all one with purchaseth and deserueth. Your comparison of seede, and tribula∣tion, is not like. For in the seede is the formall cause of the greate tree, so is not the formall cause of eternall glorie in our tribulation. But as if an Emperour for one dayes valiant seruice in warre, doe giue vnto his sonne one of his kingdomes, we may truly say, that dayes ser∣uice wrought him this great rewarde, or caused him to be aduaunced to this kingdome: but we can not say truely, it purchased or deserued a kingdome: for then euery one that serued as well as he deserued the like re∣warde: so is the rewarde of eternall life, whiche is the gift of God, incomparably greater than our tribulatiō, not by the desert of the sufferer, but by liberalitie of the giuer. That translation, that vseth the worde of prepa∣ring, is not so proper, according to the worde, but it dif∣fereth not muche in sense, shewing howe those afflicti∣ons do worke, or cause, namely by preparing, & making vs conformable to the sufferings of Christ.
