[131] Psalm lxxxvii. 6 is thus rendered in the Wycliffite versions, after the Vulgate and LXX. The LXX. here differs from the Hebrew. [132] The word Judah, from which “Jew” is derived, is from a Hebrew verb, meaning “to praise.” (See Gen. xxix. 35; xlix. 8.) [133] By “sentence” Purvey commonly means “sense,” or “meaning.” [134] That is, if he examine many copies, and especially those of recent date. [135] AUGUSTINE, _Christian Doctrine_, book ii., c. xi. [136] Bohemians. [137] AUGUSTINE, _Christian Doctrine_, b. ii. c. xii. [138] Wisdom, iv. 3. [139] This Prologue contains but little in the way of historical information.

[142] Whittingham had previously done the same in his New Testament of 1557. In his address “To the Reader” he says: “And because the Hebrewe and Greke phrases, which are strange to rendre in other tongues, and also short, shulde not be to hard, I haue sometyme interpreted them without any whit diminishing the grace of the sense, as our lāgage doth vse them, and sometyme have put to that worde which lacking made the sentence obscure, but haue set it in such letters as may easily be discerned from the cōmun text.” In some later editions of the Genevan Bible, printed in black letter, this clause is altered into “wee have put in the text between these two markes [ ] such worde or verbe as doth more properlie explane or manifest the text in our tongue.” [143] To the end that.
