The same _Hierome_ elsewhere affirmeth that he, the time was, had set forth the translation of the _Seventy_, _suæ lingæ hominibus_; that is, for his countrymen of _Dalmatia_. Which words not only _Erasmus_ doth understand to purport, that St. _Hierome_ translated the Scripture into the _Dalmatian_ tongue; [Sidenote: _Six. Sen. lib. 4. Alphon. a Castro, lib. 1. cap. 23. St. Chrysost. in Joann. cap. 1. hom. 1._] but also _Sixtus Senensis_, and _Alphonsus a Castro_, (that we speak of no more,) men not to be excepted against by them of _Rome_, do ingenuously confess as much. So St. _Chrysostome_, that lived in St. _Hierome’s_ time, giveth evidence with him: _The doctrine of St. John_ (saith he) _did not in such sort_ (as the Philosophers’ did) _vanish away: but the Syrians, Egyptians, Indians, Persians, Ethiopians, and infinite other nations, being barbarous people, translated it into their (mother) tongue, and have learned, to be (true) Philosophers_, he meaneth Christians. [Sidenote: _Theodor. 5. Therapeut._] To this may be added _Theodoret_, as next unto him both for antiquity, and for learning. His words be these, _Every country that is under the sun is full of these words_, (of the Apostles and Prophets;) _and the Hebrew tongue_ (he meaneth the Scriptures in the _Hebrew_ tongue) _is turned not only into the language of the Grecians, but also of the Romans, and Egyptians, and Persians, and Indians, and Armenians, and Scythians, and Sauromatians, and, briefly, into all the languages that any nation useth_. [Sidenote: _P. Diacon. lib. 12. Isid. in Chron. Goth. Sozom. lib. 6. cap. 57. Vasseus in Chro. Hisp. Polydor. Virg. 5. hist. Anglorum testatur idem de Aluredo nostro. Aventin. lib. 4._] So he. In like manner _Ulpilas_ is reported by _Paulus Diaconus_ and _Isidore_, and before them by _Sozomen_, to have translated the Scriptures into the _Gothick_ tongue: _John_ Bishop of _Sevil_ by _Vasseus_, to have turned them into _Arabick_ about the Year of our Lord 717: _Beda_ by _Cistertiensis_, to have turned a great part of them into _Saxon_: _Efnard_ by _Trithemius_, to have abridged the French Psalter (as _Beda_ had done the _Hebrew_) about the year 800: King _Alured_ by the said _Cistertiensis_, to have turned the Psalter into _Saxon_: _Methodius_ by _Aventinus_ (printed at _Ingolstad_) to have turned the Scriptures into _Sclavonian_: _Valdo_[146] Bishop of _Frising_ by _Beatus Rhenanus_, to have caused about that time the Gospels to be translated into _Dutch_ rhyme, yet extant in the library of _Corbinian_: _Valdus_ by divers, to have turned them himself, or to have gotten them turned, into _French_, about the Year 1160: _Charles_ the Fifth of that name, surnamed _The wise_, to have caused them to be turned into _French_ about 200 years after _Valdus’_ time; of which translation there be many copies yet extant, as witnesseth _Beroaldus_. [Sidenote: _Beroald. Thuan._] Much about that time, even in our King _Richard_ the Second’s
