<HEAD>THE DIFFERENCE BETWIXT THE Old Tran&s;lation and the New.</HEAD>
<P><LABEL>Old Te&s;tamant:</LABEL>
<Q>IF any one want Light, let him look upon the Law and the Te&s;timony, whether they &s;peak after this meaning; If he do not this, he &s;tumbles, and &s;uffers hunger; and if he &s;uffers hunger, he is not patient, but bla&s;phemeth his King and his God; then look|eth he upward and downward to the Earth, and behold there is trouble and darkne&s;s, vexation is round about him, and the cloud of Error; and out of &s;uch adver&s;ity &s;hall he not e&s;cape, even like as in time pa&s;t it hath been &s;een well.</Q> This is the Old Tran&s;lation. <BIBL>I&s;a. 8.</BIBL></P>
<P><LABEL>New Tran&s;lation thus:</LABEL> <Q>To the Law and to the Te&s;ti|mony, if they &s;peak not according to this Word, it is be|cau&s;e there is no Light in them; And they &s;hall pa&s;s through it hardly be&s;tead, and hungry; and it &s;hall come to pa&s;s, that when they &s;hall be hungry, they &s;hall fret them&s;elves, and cur&s;e their King and their God, and look upward, and they &s;hall look unto the Earth, and behold trouble and darkne&s;s, and dimne&s;s of Angui&s;h; and they &s;hall be driven to darkne&s;s,</Q> <BIBL>I&s;ai. 8.20, 21, 22.</BIBL></P>
<P><LABEL>Old Tran&s;lation.</LABEL> <BIBL>Prov. 23.</BIBL> <Q>When thou &s;itte&s;t at the Table with a Lord, order thy &s;elf mannerly with the things &s;et before thee; Mea&s;ure thine Appetite; and if thou wilt rule thy own &s;elf, be not over gree|dy of his meat; for meat beguiles and deceives.</Q></P>
<P><LABEL>New Tran&s;lation thus:</LABEL> <Q>When thou &s;itte&s;t to eat with a Ruler, con&s;ider diligently what is before thee; and put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to Ap|petite: Be not de&s;irous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat,</Q> <BIBL>Prov. 23.1, 2, 3.</BIBL></P>
<P><LABEL>Old Tran&s;lation.</LABEL> <BIBL>Amos 3.</BIBL> <Q>Cry they out alarm with the Trumpet in the City, and the People not afraid? Cometh there any Plague in a City with|out it be the Lords doing?</Q></P>
<P><LABEL>New Tran&s;lation thus:</LABEL> <Q>Shall a Trumpet be blown
<PB N="8" REF="9">in the City, and the People not be afraid? Shall there b<GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter"> evil in a City, and the Lord hath not done it?</Q> <BIBL>Ho&s;ea 5.6.</BIBL></P>
<P>In <BIBL>Heb. 3.</BIBL> In the New Tran&s;lation it is &s;aid; <Q>Who being the brightne&s;s of his Glory, and the Ex|pre&s;s Image of his Per&s;on.</Q></P>
<P>But in the Old Tran&s;lation it reads thus: <Q>Being the brightne&s;s of his Glory, and the very Image of his Sub|&s;tance.</Q></P>
<P>In <BIBL>2 Cor 2. <HI>Chap. the la&s;t</HI> ver&s;e,</BIBL> in the Engli&s;h it is: <Q>We do not corrupt the World.</Q> But in the Latine it is, <Q>We do not &s;ell the Word for Money.</Q></P>
<P>Old Tran&s;lation, <BIBL>Epi&s;tle of <HI>Jude</HI> latter end,</BIBL> it is, <Q>&V;nto him that is able to keep you free from Sin, and to pre&s;ent you faultle&s;s.</Q></P>
<P>In the New Tran&s;lation it is, <Q>Unto him that is able to keep you from falling, <HI>&amp;c.</HI></Q></P>
<P>Old Tran&s;lation <BIBL>Tim. 3.</BIBL> At the end of the Chap. It is, <Q>All Scripture given by In&s;piration of God, <HI>is pro|fitable to teach, to improve,</HI> &amp;c.</Q></P>
<P>In the New Tran&s;lation it is, <Q><HI>All Scripture,</HI> is gi|ven by In&s;piration of God, and is profitable <HI>for Doc|trine, for Reproof, for Correction,</HI> &amp;c.</Q></P>
<P>Old Tran&s;lation, <BIBL>Mic. 3.</BIBL> About the beginning of the Chap. It is &s;aid: <Q>And as concerning the Pro|phets that deceive my People, thus &s;aith the Lord again&s;t them, when they have any thing to bite up|on. then they preach, that all &s;hall be well; but if a man put not &s;omething into their mouths, they preach of War again&s;t him.</Q></P>
<P><LABEL>New Tran&s;lation:</LABEL> <Q>Thus &s;ayeth the Lord concerning the Prophets, that make my People Err, that bite with their Teeth, and cry Peace; and he that putteth not into their mouths, they even prepair War again&s;t him.</Q></P>
