Google

This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project

to make the world's books discoverable online.

It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject

to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books

are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.

Marks, notations and other maiginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the

publisher to a library and finally to you.

Usage guidelines

Google is proud to partner with libraries to digitize public domain materials and make them widely accessible. Public domain books belong to the
public and we are merely their custodians. Nevertheless, this work is expensive, so in order to keep providing tliis resource, we liave taken steps to
prevent abuse by commercial parties, including placing technical restrictions on automated querying.
We also ask that you:

+ Make non-commercial use of the files We designed Google Book Search for use by individuals, and we request that you use these files for
personal, non-commercial purposes.

+ Refrain fivm automated querying Do not send automated queries of any sort to Google's system: If you are conducting research on machine
translation, optical character recognition or other areas where access to a large amount of text is helpful, please contact us. We encourage the
use of public domain materials for these purposes and may be able to help.

+ Maintain attributionTht GoogXt "watermark" you see on each file is essential for in forming people about this project and helping them find
additional materials through Google Book Search. Please do not remove it.

+ Keep it legal Whatever your use, remember that you are responsible for ensuring that what you are doing is legal. Do not assume that just
because we believe a book is in the public domain for users in the United States, that the work is also in the public domain for users in other
countries. Whether a book is still in copyright varies from country to country, and we can't offer guidance on whether any specific use of
any specific book is allowed. Please do not assume that a book's appearance in Google Book Search means it can be used in any manner
anywhere in the world. Copyright infringement liabili^ can be quite severe.

impoffible for a Man that is fincerely good, not to
know that he is fo : and. if he do« and muft' knoW

do it not, niajce an appearance of Humil|Cy k prcr
tence for their Ingratitude; and how gooa.fpever
they may be in other relpeds, yet in this pafticul^r
they are very defe<Stive. Further, it may (bmetim^s
be abfolutely neceflTary for the moft modeft.Man to
profefs his own Innocency, and Integrity^ and even
commemora|:e his Vertues, as when one \s falfeiy aC-
cufed of any Grime^ or whi^n ones Credit and Re-
. putation is alperfed by envipus, or hialicioiis Spirits,
which was the Cafe ofDawd and St. FatH. For (ure,
no confidering Man will blame another fot telling

* the Truth in his ow^ defence, and appealing to God,
the Searcher of Hearts, and the Patron of opprefled
Iniiccency, and injur'd Vertue.

But here it may be objeded, that it cannot rea-
Jfonably be fuppofed, that all the Members of mixt
Congregations can be fit to ufe fome Expreffibnsin
fhe Pfalms, fo as to maHe them their own Words :
becaufe very few have attained to Rich a degree of
^Piety and Goodnefs,- as Da'uld and the other Plal-
rnifts make profeffion of. For with what face can a
carelefs^ or indifferent Chriftian fay, Xhy tejtimonies
are the very jcy of my heart. I was uncorrnp before

The Subjeas^ oa which the ThM^givIng: Pfe|tt«
wefe ^chiefly compofed are thoie^ widen are of all o-
therthegreateft} namely,

i.^ The works of Greadon, in whidi as all Mea
are Concerned, fo all fhould unanimoufly join to
Praife the Author of them. This gopdnefe of Gpd in
Creating us^ and all things, is the foundation of all
the. xeft of tus Mercies, and the deareft demonfira*
tion of the Being of God^ without whom nothing
elfe could have been : And what, can be morie juft
and agpreeable, than that we Ihould often own and
{^raife that Power and Wildom in which W€i live,
and move, and have that Being on which all our
other Enjoyments depend ; and who hath fo made
us, ridat we are capable of 'Praifing Him, as no
other Creature in this vifible World can do, l>ut
Man ? Other Creatures may and do afford ijs Mat-
ter, or ^ve us Occafion to Praife God, but.none^
of them can oiFer thk Sacrifice but we alone. None
of die Creatures we have to do with can have any
knowledge or apprehenfion of God, but our felves :
They want both Speech and Reafon, without whidi
this Service cannot be performed. This is the chief
Privilege by which we are dlftinguifli'd from them,
that tve can, with Mind and Voice, Worihip and
Pmi(e cnir Creator : * And they who make no ufe of
this Privilege, do wilfully degrade themfclves, and,
is it wfere, become Brutes by choice.

z. We ought alfo frequently to commemorate
thofe Works of Divine Providence, whereby we^
and what belongs to us, have been preferv'd, where-
by we have the Comforts and Conveniences of this
Xife, at leaft irt Ibme meafure continued to us :
For the fettled courfe of Nature, the conftant re-
turns of Night and Day, Seed-time and Harveff^
Summer and Winter: And the PfaUns will put in-^

IhiTt is nothihg more admirable ift the Chiirch

World, and in defpite of all theiPower and. Malice
ciTbaraehy 2itLA othd: Idolatrous Tyrants. But
further, die extraordinary Works which he did by
Mofesy JofiHSy^LTid other Leaders of his People -down
to Dawdy ftould remirtd us of the greater Power,
which he afterwards Ihew^d in enlarging his Church
upon t!>e coming of tht Meffiof , by the^ Tongues,
Pens, Divine Works; and Sufferings of the Apoftles,
and others who firft planted Cbrifiianity j and the won-
derful Succefi which he gave to Cwi/^»f«w theGreaty

thofe Heathen Generals,' arid Forces, which ojppofed
them J and tathe many Kings and Queens^ whonv
he hath fince raifed up to be Nurfifig^Fakheriy and
Nuiiing-Moth^s to his Chiirch.
: " ;. Above all we ought never to forget the great-
eft of his Mercies, which is the knowledge* of
his Will, or that Revelation of Divine Truthy
which he has vouchfefed tons, without whidi our
Condition would be little better, if it were not
worfe, than that of the Beafts which Perifli : By
this we are informed how we may certainly pleafe
him, by what means we may obcstin the pardon of
our Sins, and the afliftance of his Grace, .and what-
ever is necqflary to' make us either Good here, or
Happy hereafter j and the Pfelms wiH fiirtiifii with
great Variety of expreflion, whereby we may re-
turn our thinks to God for thi^ eminent, unvaluable
Mercy. In this particular we oudit, if poffible,
to raife our Devotions above that of Di«t/ii and the
other Pfalmifts ; foy when they thank God for the
Benefit of his Word^ they chiefly meant the Law of
Mofesi and as much as the G3fpel eicels the Law, (b
much fhouW our Praife and Gratitude exceed theirs.

And tet it be oMervcd that the Pfalmlfts did not
think it (ufllcient^ barely to recite all the Mercies
they kd received from God, but they do moil fre-
quently, and amply acknowledge his Wifdom and
Power, Veracity, or Faithfulneis, and efpecially
Us Goodnefi, which are the Caufe, and Spring-head
of all oyr Bleflings'. And this is not only a very
confiderable part of that Honour which we owe
him J but is ukewifc very neceffary to quicken, and
inflame u$ in all other parts of our DevotioA 2 for'
he muft needs perform the Duty of Prayer with
great coldnefi, and indifference, who does not
both heartily believe and duly confider, that the
God, to whom he offers his Prayers, is All-know-
ing, Almighty, the Author of all the Good, that
we can have,^ or hope for, [ who is alone able to
&ve, or to deftroy,]

But here it may be objecS^d, that feveral forts of
Piilms ma)r, and do occur in the very fame Service,
ana that it can fcarce be fuppofed that Men
are fo much Mailers of their own Affeftions, as
to turn , and alter them every minute as they
pleafe. How can a Man be dejeded with Sorrow
while he is recitipg a Penitential Pfalm, and be ele?*
vated with Joy, and Praife, when he has turned
the Leaf, and is beginning another, and immedi-
ately be fire* with a zeal, and due concern for
God's Church in rehfcarfing a third,? for it may,. at
firft %ht, feem a matter very difficult, if not impoA
fible, fo often, and all of a fudden to change otur
.frame of Mind.

In Anfwer to which Lneedonly give an Inftance,
to prove that this is fo far from being hard to be
praftifed, that 'tis really natural to us* ^ In rea3inff

IL as to the Tranflation which is here explained,
and Vindicated, and which is commonly uled in
cur Churches, it ought to be valued by all EnrUjh
iProtelfents, tf for no other reafon, yet bccaufe it
is part of mat Bible, with which die Eyes of our
Anceftors in King Hettry theEighth'sTime were firft
cnlightnedwith Divine Truth : And they who were
chiefly concerned in the Tranflating and Publifh-

Though I would not be thought aFriend to the
Superftition of the Papifts, who pay fo mudi ho-
nour to the Reliques of their Saints and Martyrs;
yet, as the Gifts of Dying Friends are to be pnzea
dbove their real intrinfick Value; fo I think a
:lgreater regard fliould be paid to the Writings of
Martyrs and Confeflfors, than tothofe of other Men::
Becaufe none can delerve more of the Church,
Vitii all that love Religion, than they who have
Ihed their Blood in defence of it. They l^ave eflPe-
^ally proy'd rfiemfelves to be in earneft j and, there*
fore what good they have done, or faid, diallenges
a peculiar honour, from ^ that are themfelves
Friends to Religion. An4 as I value the Wirings

that forefeeing a ftorm jceady to fall on himfelf, and
his Friends, and efpecially ms kind Patron, upon his
account, he thought it moil adviiable to retire out
of the v^y for their fakes, as well as his own.

Temper, as any that thefe Times afforded. In order
to recommend himfelf the better to this great Man,
he had tranflatedpart of J/2>^^rf/s Works into EngUfh,
out of the Gr^ei, a Language little underftood, or
Studied in England at ^ttmt time ; but he was dilap«
pointed in this' attempt : Providence had intended
him for a Work, that was more for the Glory of
God, and the Benefit of the Englijh Church.

However, it pleafed God toiaile himi up a Friend
ill London, one of great Note, Henry Mawmutb^ Al-
derman of that City, who entertained him at his

church: So thai, if this ttanfladon of the PCiltcr were wherfly
from the LXX, yet I believe no competcac Judge would have
been of Opinion that tn ought to diride on thit account. But it
IhouM (eem our Dincrniers would^ and by paiicy of rcafon, if they
had lived in the Age of Chrifl and his Apoftlcs, and had been a»
wife as they are now,, they niufl have departed from them too }
for they, upon fome orcifioas, ufed the Greek Tranflation, or one
that agreed with it, and thai is, the mofi that could have been
faid of the Church, if what Mr'. Catarny pretends Were true. Bui

i; This is a very great miRake.and any o'nfcthat would have beea
at the pains to compare the Ten firft Pfalms of this Tranflatioa
with the Greek, might eaflly have convinced himfelf of this Ef«
roif -, for in thele Ten Pfalms, there arc not Id's than TW^my Ka-
tcria! differences between the Greek Traoflation and ourS) tvnere-
»i they do not agree with the Greek in more than five particular!
throughout thele Teh Pfalms, excepting fuch places where all
Tranflations agree, as God be thanked, they do in the main :
Nay, further I hope to make it appear w a" impartial Readns,.
that our Tranflators never do render any oncVerlei~foas to make
it coi)trary to, or Inconriflent with the Hcbre^v^ but they differ
from the Greek, and give us a fence quite' diAinft from uiem ia
at Icatl sjo places, and do not fomuch as fcem to follow the
Creek in much above d'oplacei.

I- fay fecm to follow tnem, for 'tTs ow (>ptniDit that they ^id
not in ihefe 60 places propose to nulte 'Oie Creek their Pattern,
except in rendring here and there fomf particular Words : ( See
Gfif. Miae ^tb. ) It is certain there arc many Supplemental Words
in thb trannatbn, which are In the GfCA too -, hut. then the

of this Tran/latwu . 5

tended that they Copy'd from them in much above Sixty.
And the fame Colkfiionbf Texts does as effeftualfy ^ove, that
thejr did no^ Tranflate from the Vulgar Latin for the mofl part,
as that diey did not Tranflate from the Greek, beraufc, n^ has
been &id, the former is but a Tranfcript of the latter. What
f eafon they had to uke thefe Supplements from the Vulgar
latin, it will .be more feafooable to (hew under the next Head/
But they Were fo £ir from folk>wing the Vulgar throughout, that
CourdaU^ in his EpifUe Dedicatory to the iirfl Edition, aflures
us. That he had before him no leisthan [Five Imerpreters ^*
of which he tells us in his Piefiice, f fomc were Latin, fomc
Dutch.3 54ii#r/F^itMf had publiih*dJiis Latin Tranflatroa fix
or fcvcn years at leaft, before ours. Our Tranflators were, with*
out queflion well acquainted with the great M, tuther^ and his
H'tgh'DuUb Tranflation : Mitnfter and Xea Juds were Cotcmpo-
raries with our Tranflators*, and tho' they did not Print their
Latin Bibles before ours, yet 'tis nocimprobaUe,that thefe Learn-
'^ed Men might have O^nmunkrated their Papers to our Tindall
and Cwerddle. Any one by perufiog the following f^otesj may
convince himfelf, tliat they agree with Munfier^ more than 'tis
credibly that they could have done, if thefe Learned Men had
not conferred Notes. And in the Edition begun 1S39, our
Engltfh Tranflation follows Munfler in fomc places, wbere they
did not do fo in" the Edition of 1595, After Afunfter*$Tfan'r
Uuion had had his fiaifhing hand, and had been publifh'd { as i(
was in the fame Year with our firft Edition, v/^. 1535 ) 'tis pro-
bable 'that Pr. Coi/eri<f/r in the review which he made 1599,
t;hought fit to Copy after him in fome plac^ where before he
had not fo clear a hght: Tho' after all, our Tranflation does not
fervilcly follow that of Munftcr^ or any pth'crr And what Co*
verdtde fays of the firft Edition, may as well be apply'4 to the
other; namely, that it follows other Interpreters or Tranflators
9nly [ for the moft part, FufaceJ] In thip fame Freface he re-
proves thofe {] who alledge Scripture fo far out of Seafon, and
f^ wide from the purpole, that a Man may perceive that they
9eycr law the Original H much left therefore is it to, be bclicv'd,
that he, and his Friend Tind4K would iiiidercake to Tranflate
it, r without feeing the Original 3 which makes Mr. Baxter^
cenfure in his [] JEngliJh Non-conformity 3 appear to be rafli and
grouncjlefs, wheo he charges our Traimators with [ want of slfilt

that this grave Cenfor of other Mens Abilities, did qof hJmfclC

2« And if thefe Supplements were lawful, no doubt but they
were expedient alfo, becaufe by this means they remov'd one
occalion of^offence, which the Papifls might have had againft the
P(kher; for they, in all probability, would have made loud out*
cries againil ic, ts having [ Saerilegioufly taken away part
of the Scriptures Q And they had had as good presence for it»

t as our Piitenters have for aocufing this Pialter of the fame
Crime, for omitting the words fub)oin*d to the Ixxii Pfulm j
najr, they had had ^ more ptaufible appearance of reafon, for

^ fiJEing the former, than ourDiflcnters for the latter, becaufe'
thefe Suj^Iements have by many, and indeed mdl Churchesr
been received as the very Wbriis of thofe Pialms, in which thev
are infortedv but what is called the 20th vecfe of thelxxfi
Ffalm, was never thought a part of it till now of very
fate. .

And if the Papifts had raifod this ObjeAion, it might not only
lopklikea ireal oneto thofeof^heir own Party,' but -raifefafpi^

- cions in^ the Minds of thofe honed and well-meaning Peoi^fv*
who winrc well^flficfted to the Reformation ; for it was very hard^
if norimpodible, to convince thefe Men, that thefe Words were
not in the Hebrew, thatbid>ltYg a Language, ^^^fe C^aratters were
fcarce known to any that lived hitre in Eniland\ix thofe DaysS
But the Vu^r Latin, efpecially the Pfalder, was underftood by
many ; and 'twas eafy for anyone, with a very indiferent degree^
of knowledge in the Latin Tongue, to difcover that thofe Verfe^
a/id words were extant in the Latiii Pfalters, or if they couk^.
not read Latin, yet they might fee the main Supplenient, 'that in

There is indeed another particidary wherein they: ocHff|ily'd
with the Vulgar Latin, or rather lirldi ' the Citftomof tHacAg^
I mean in placinc the firft Mtin Words, as the Tide or IteMrof

the Vnl^ latin, aAd they were not pv£ there hy the CompSert
cfottr Liturgy, but by the Tranflators tliemfelvesvbuclfC tcM
oblerved too, that th6* they retain the very fame initial Words
chat are in the Vulgar latin, yec they don't Tranflate eren diofe
words according to the Vulgar Latin, as may be feen Efabn kr,
Ixxiii, Ix3cxiii, xcv, ^A . .

I hope it evidendy enough appears,, that nbthine of this kind
was done throiu;h Cardeifnefs or Ignorance, but w good and
¥dfe Reafons ^ for by this means,, our Tranflators and Reformers
Iiaye made it appear, that they did not afficA needlefi Innora-
tioiB ^ and took the beft courfe to convince all foreign Chorches,
that we reje^ed nothing, meeriy .becaufe ufed, or receiv'd by
them: Efpecially iince by doing io^ we do no wrong toScripture,'
Qttke no real addition to the Sence o€the BiUe^ and eteiy one
that can but read Englifti by comparing this Pfalter with the otlxr,
siay know which Words are in the Hebrew and which are not.*

9* Bttt the greateft Objeffion of all is yet behind, and diat is,
that we do diminifli, or take away fome part of the Scriptures,
or to ufe the decent Language of oar Oiflenters f Sacrtl^ioufly
Ileal 3 ( See the Idolatry ot C6mmoa»Prayer Worftiip, ) from
die People, part of the Pialms; and this is indeed a heavy charge,
if theft were any truth to fupport it.

But fujppofe we had not the: Pfalms entirely in our Liturgy,
wottM this amount to the grievous Sin of Sacrilege I Surel]^ not,
except they were left out of our &ib}es too. For the Title is,
f the Pfalter or Pfalms of Ditvid^ as they are appointed to be
lung or faid in Churches ; 3 ^^d if the Reformers of our Church
had thought fit to omit the ufe of iQxat Pfahns or Verfei, as lefs
edifying, vriiat Crime had there been in fo doing^ Do pur DifTen-
ters^ in their Meetings, iing tl^ whole Pfalter thorow, from the
begmning to thip.end? do tbeyinpt rather chufe fome fcleft

them, why/WouM the fault b^.grwer in us, than in them .^
Sttppofeaoy ^ their w^y fhould m^e a 'Cpile^on of thofe

this Title f The Pfalpis as they, are fung in the Congregations
of, ^c. 3 would dicy think it fair to have the Putlifhers ftigma-

tiic^

of this JranpAtm*

rized for fturiledge I And here let it be
that the Tranfl»tors of f the great Bible "
of tliis pretended Sacrilege, but infert al
complain of, as nantioe in our Uturgy; t
were pleafcd to make tRefe Omlflions, wl
out upon. Butktuscoaflder panicuUn.

r. They tanit the Tides, which are in the Hebrew : So do our;
Difienters in Siiging the Pfalms. Vit^Ati^wmb Mmlelf has iiot'
thought fit CO turn them into Metre, iho' V would have the.
Reader belie\'C, that the Titles arc part of the &ft Verfe of every
FHiIm in the Profe-Traqllation ; but it may a& rationally tc,
atferted, that the Name is a part of the Man, or the Sign a pare'
of the Houfe, as chat the Titles arc any EfTeniia] Members of the
Pfalms. .

2. Another omilTion complain'd of, is, That oi thofe hard.
Words ^Ncgmthy AUmoth, Mebalathi iSre. 1 together with

(' Stldh 3 whicb is often met with in tlie middle of a Pfalm^ buc
et it be confider'd, that thofe who are fuppofed to guefs beft at
the meaning of thefe Words, do fuppofe that they relate to the.
Muflcal I nflrumencs, which they of oM ufed in Singing thefe PJalnu,
or however, to the Tunes then \n ufe, bnt.now utterly loft. Onc^
would chink &ut DilTencers have no manner of reafon to complain
of this macier, fince they now think all InHriimcntal Mitfirk un-
lawful in the Service of God, and never fing the Pfalms at alJ.ia a..
F/ofb^Trannacion as this is ; nor, if they did, would chcy be at
at allaHided by having thefe Words fix'd in the ftont'ofthe".
PCtlnit, much Icfs do they give any light to the meaning of the .
Pfalm, or any ways concern the Piety or Devotion of thofe who
ufe thePfaitef; and what necetTicy tlierc caabe of having fiich!
Words in thePfalcer, as do make us neither more MuHcai, nor
more devout, F cannot fee. Mt. Amftoerth, thit in fomechiBg,
or other he might mend our Tranflation, never omits P Sel«b 1
either in hi* Vcric or Profe, and yet lie himfelf, (See Ainfiverth ^ ■
Note on f/, iii. 3._) as well as ociiers, feems inclm'd to belie.vc.
that it was but [a Marjc of draining or elevating the. Voice jrj.
and if fo, then 'tis a down-right blunder in him to infert it, as
he does, among the Words of the Pfalnv to be fung.or faid: .'Tii-.
juft as if unskilful Readers or Tranfcribcrs, ftiould.make [_EUh ] .
a part of any Song or Anthem, or Ibould fuppofe that [_Baff,.
TeiiiTf t^c 3 were to be Pronounced or Sung. , ....

5. As to the Hallelujah's, or [_ Praife j'e th^ord '] pretended .
to be, omitted at the beginning of feveral Pfdlms,. the Reader will
find, by cbnrultiog the Notes on thofe particulars, that the feult ,
is not m our TranH^tOrs, who do not make them jipatt of thoft:
Pfalms, but in thofe ilwt do ;, and i£ the Hallelujah be fometimcs
wanting at the end of a Pfalm, this feeming dcfeft is abundantly,
made up by the DoSoIogy, or. f Glory be to the father, i^e. j .,
which iibuc an Orthodox Cbriflian^ Paraplirafe on the Hallelujah,

and wbich no one can reafonably obj^ft againft, who knows in
whofe Name^ he was baptized. It fhould be the bufineA of our
whole Lires, to glorify thofe dirine Pcrfons, tp whofe Ser-
vice we have beeh fo folemnly devoted*, and therefore no good
Chriftian can think, that he honours them too much; or coo of-
ten; and th^ who difpute againft it^ do but gire occafion to
make Men fufpe^, that th^y are creeping down to Soclnianifin
by the back-5uirs.

4. But the raoft ftrange Objeftion of thi^ fort, is not yet men-
tion'd, and indeed I comd not have thought it worth anfweriog^
if fo eoniiderable a Man as Mr. Baxter had not made it. He
charges our TYanflation for omitting whole Verfes^in his rEngliflr
Nonconformity, ] which I fuppofc can be flo other than the
Title of the Pfalms, which have been already accounted for, or
thofe Words at tlie end of the Ixxii Pfal'm^ [ the Prayers of
lyAvti the fon oijeffc are ended. ] The Reader may well think
' that Mr. ^tfx^^r had goodreafon not to es^plain himfelf, for the
very rehc&rfing the Words, is, I fuppoAr an effeftdal confuution
of the Obje^on ^ any Man that is not unreafonably prejudiced^
Will rather bdievc, that the Pfalm has its full Period at thofe
Words, ilmf a, i4mffn; and. that what follows, is no more than
TPhiH^ at the end of a 6ook: And if this exception be of any
tbrce, every Printer muft be Tndited and found guilty of Theft^
who neglefts to put that Word at the foot of the laft Page of
every Book he Pnblifhes. David's Pfalms were not CoUe^led all
at once, and the foregoing Pfalms wf re all that the Colleftor had
yet found, and this is what he feems to acouaipt the Reader with;
or dfe the Ixxii Pfalm y being that whicn was made by Djttdd
oh 5e/owon's Coronation, juft before his own Death, there was
this intimatiori pur at the foot of the Pfalm, to let us know, that
Da:vjd never compofcd any other after this. For it is needlefs
to inform the oblerving Reader, that the Pfalnis are not placed
in the fame order that they vvere made. But thcfe Words are fo
iar from being part of the Ixxii Pfalm^ that in all appearance
they were never Written by the hand of David. However, Mr.
Aiff^orth himielf did not tnink that this Verfe ( if I may fo call
if ) belonged to the Pfalm, [fo as that it was to be fung, or fiid,]
for he does not pretend to Tranflate it into Metre, nor any other
that I have met with. I am fully perfwadcd that if the Infcrip-
tions following after St. Paulas Epiftlcs, efpecially thofe to Ti"
mothy and Titus^ h44 been wholly omitted in our EnitUh Tefla-
m€nts, we had never Jieard a Word from our DiflienterS on ttet
fubjef^, by Way of Obieftion ; now why (hould this after the
Ixxii Pfai/tty be thought fo facred, thofe othrrs fo needlefs or
falfcj as thefe Men would have them thought ?

particular paffiges not mentioned in this Preface, the Reader will

i. I think it very evident, that the words ought to tie ccmk
ftrued as a <^eftioB ask'd, Did they vat rebel agaivSt hk
tmdf There is no certain way to know when any Sen-
tence in the He\/few is to be uderftood thus, cmt otiMr«
wife, but by what goes before, and what folbws : And
If we may judge by the coherence^ I doubt not but this
will appear to be the mod probable meaning of the
words. To £iy, that the Egjfptlans did mt rebels is fidfe*
and therefore cannot be the meaning of the words. To
fay, that Mofts and Aar^ did w$ reoel feems to be £>•
reign to die purpofe of the Pfilmift : For the darknels
W^s not fent to reduce Mcfes and Aaron ^to obedience,
but Pbaraob and the Egyptians \ and therefore it is more
itafonable to fuppofe, uiat thefe woids were defigncd
to exprefs the obfUnacy and rebellion of them, noc-
withflanding this Miracle, than the obedience or com-
pliance of Afofes and Aaron* It follows in the next
Verfe, Be tnrned tbehr Heaters into blood -y which furdv
was not done to convert Mofes and Aaron^ but Pharaoh ■
and his Snbjeds : So that if we do not read the words
itttcrrpgacively, they will have no apparent connexion
with what goes before, and what follows : For what
occafion had the Plklmift to fay, that Mofes and Aaron
rebelled mt / All which confider*d, I cannot but think,
that if we have any-whcre jM reafon to take a Sentence
by way of a Queflion ask'd, 'tis here. Some would have
it thought, that a Queftion by ^^ cannot be ask^d,
without the prefix H', or, with the prefx 1 ^ but this
Fancy is efFeftually confuted by that Text, Exod.vnL26.

the word reft does imply a long ftay, namely, by reafon of

fupply'd by them, and that oftentimes very propeHy, and,
without queftion, according to the juft Rules of Tranflation:
