I Chalk not flay upon that other reading, Rjwember that them art ignorant of his work. Vie fame word which we tranflate, to rcrtenr. 3 guy; l magnifie, with the variation of a point, fignifieth toerne ; hence ignores opus that tranflation. There isa profitable fenfe in it ; for indeed the eisss. íulg. Hicroniniusi bell knowledge which we haveof the work of God may be called confundir ignorance, and we Paid to be ignorant that work which we Kai11 cum are moil knowing in. Yet becaufe this is f}raining of the Text, I K)v1 quan- pifs it by, and keep to our own rewiring, Remember that thou 4uam rut patios errors mogni fie pain ignararo Rifwork. fanfïcat. Dref.
