Vulgate, and instead of Moshe, Shimshon, Bileam, Shelomoh, retained Moses, Samson, Balaam, and Solomon. Pity that such recklessness should have been allowed to mar the general uniformity! Notwithstanding, to avoid confusion of names, I have generally adopted the standard Protestant orthography. For it is non-Catholic authors that I have to refute. And therefore with them, I speak of Joshua instead of Josue; Hosea instead of Osee; Elijah, instead of Elias; and Eliseus instead of Elisha. In conclusion, I have to state that I submit this work to the judgment of the Holy See. Knowing that to St. Peter and his successors Jesus Christ committed the feeding of his lambs and sheep, I look upon it as a happy privilege to be fed and taught by the Chief Shepherd of the one fold, and can never find the least difficulty in retracting without reserve whatever the Holy See may pronounce deserving of censure.
