Nos infrascripti, in alma Duacensi universitate Sacræ Theologiæ Doctores & Professores, hanc Anglicanam Veteris Testamenti translationem, quam tres diversi ejus nationis eruditissimi Theologi, non solum fidelem, sed propter diversa quæ ei sunt adjuncta, valde utilem fidei Catholicæ propagandæ ac tuendæ, & bonis moribus promovendis, sunt testati: quorum testimonia ipsorum syngraphis munita vidimur; cujus item Translationis, & Annotationum auctores nobis de fidei integritate, & eruditionis præstantia probe sunt noti: his rebus adducti & nixi, fructuose evulgari posse censuimus. Duaci. 8 Novembris, 1609. Gulielmus Estius Sacræ Theologiæ Doctor, & in Academia Duacensi Professor. Bartholomæus Petrus Sacræ Theologiæ Doctor, & in Universitate Duacensi Professor.

Approbation of other eminent Divines.

Nos infrascripti, perlectâ hâc Veteris Testamenti Versione, cum Annotationibus, nihil inuenimus quod Fidei Catholicæ, aut bonis moribus repugnet: sed econtrà reperimus Translationem fidelem, Annotationes doctas ac utiles. Utpote quæ exactam temporum seriem, Ecclesiæ Pastorum, Doctrinæq; Catholicæ successionem, ab ipso mundi exordio deducunt: obscuriora sacri textus loca elucidant: hæreses hujus temporis, argumentis ex ipso eodem textu collectis, convincunt: Ecclesiæ Catholicæ Romanæ dogmata penè omnia confirmant: Ideoque summâ cum legentium utilitate publicari posse judicamus, si ordinariis librorum Censoribus hoc ipsum approbare beneplacitum fuerit. Joannes Wright, Ecclesiæ collegiatæ Gloriosiss. Virg. Cortracen. Decanus, Matthæus Kellison, Sacræ Theologiæ Doctor, & in Universitate Rhemensi Professor. Gulielmus Harison, S. Theologiæ Doctor.
