Strange words, and affected phrases, which the Iesuits in their Latin translation of the English Te­ stament haue without need vsed, as it may seeme for these causes: First, to show their fine eloquence, and thereby to mooue their sim­ ple readers and hearers to admire them, who commonly haue in admiration such strange things as they do not vnderstand. Secondly, to make the Scripture darke and hard to be vn­ derstood of the vnlearned people, and so to depriue them of that profit and comfort which they might re­ cieue by it. And lastly, for that they would as much dissent, and as little agree with vs, as they might.

These be the fine words wherewith our fine Iesuites haue sought to beautifie this there translation, of which I Hieron. lib. 1. ad­ uersus Iouinian. may say as S. Hierom sometime said. Rogo quæ sunt hæc portenta Verborum? that is, I pray thée what monstrous words be these? And as Demosthenes said, these be not ῤήματα but θαύματα, not words but wonders. This is not to obey the Nazianzen. de mo­ dest. seruanda in disput. wise counsell of Gregorie Nazianzene who saith: ἔχγ τω̃ν συντζοφω̃ν ῤημάτων. that is, vse natiue and common words. Nor to doo the office of a good interpretor, whose dutie is as S. Hi­ Hieron. ad Mar­ cellam, tom. 4 erom saith, Non quo ipse disertus appareat, &c. Not that he should séeme to be eloquent himselfe, but to make him that readeth it, so to vnderstand it, as he that write it.
