Israel, the seuentie Elders onely coulde reade, and vnderstande the Mysteries of the Holy Bookes, that we
cal the Bible. For, where as the letters of the Hebrewe tongue haue no Vocalles, they onely had the
skil to reade the Scripture by the Consonantes: And thereby the Vulgare people were kepte from rea∣dinge
of it (207)* 1.3 by special Prouidence of God, as it is thought, that Preciouse stoanes shoulde not
be caste before* 1.4 Swine, that is to say, suche as be not called thereto, as beinge for their vnreuerent
curiositie, and impure life, vnwoorthy.
