(q) In Hebrew to the Hebrews.] St. Cle∣mens Alexandrinus is of another opinion, as also St. Jerome, Theodoret, Oecumenius, and several o∣thers. Estius and some of the moderns believe, that it was written in Greek, 1. because the Scrip∣tures there cited follow the Septuagint, and not the Hebrew; 2. because there is no probability that the Copy should be lost. These reasons are exceeding weak, for suppose the Citations are not to be charged upon the Interpreter, yet, why might not St. Paul, when he was writing in the Syriack Tongue, translate the Septuagint into that Language, rather than cite the He∣brew Text▪ since the Septuagint was more fa∣miliar to him? This may serve by way of an∣swer to the first Reason. The second is yet weaker, for why might not the Hebrew Copy of this Epistle be lost, as well as the Original Hebrew of the Gospel of St. Matthew?
