the Hebrew, in the old, and the Greek, in the New Testament. Translations, if they agree, we allow them, if they dif∣fer, we reiect them. Ibid. c. 8. We doe doe not say, that we must stand to our translations, as authentical of themsel∣ues, but we appeal to the fountaines one∣ly, as truly authentical. C. 9. Authen∣tical Scripture must come imediatly from the Holie Ghost. C. 10. onely authentical, is Canonical. Et ibid. q. 5. c. 9. The ignorance of the original toungs, He∣brew and Greek, hath caused manie er∣rors. And thus al Protestants should say, becaus they denie the Vulgar latin, to be authentical, becaus it is a Translation. For (as Whitaker c. 8. cit. sayeth) An Interpreter transla∣teth authentical Scripture, but maketh not his Translation authentical Scrip∣ture. See Morton to. 2. Apol. l. 1. c. 14. p. 71.
White in his Way p. 23. The con∣clusion (That the English translation is not the Rule) may be granted. P. 1••. Al translations be to be tried by the ori∣ginal Hebrew and Greek. And a Rule

is not to be ruled it self.
Morton in Whites Defense c. 28. p. 259. What English Protestant euer affirmed, that our Translations were infallible, or took them for the Rule?
Tailor in his libertie of prophe∣sing sec. 4. n. 7. Is there anie man, that hath translated perfectly, or expounded infallibly? No translation challengeth such a praerogatiue, as to be authentik, but the vulgar latin.
Pareus Colleg. Theol. 2. D. 1. We say, that onely the Hebrew edition of the old testament, and the Greek of the New, is authentical. Sic etiam Collegio 1. D. 14.
Moulins of the Iudge of Contro. part. 2. c. 6. p. 378. Common sense tel∣leth, that translations are not to be re∣ceaued, but as far as they are agreable to the originals.
