Chapter
XXXVIII.—Corruption of the Law.
“For the Scriptures have had joined to them
many falsehoods against God on this account. The prophet Moses
having by the order of God delivered the law, with the explanations, to
certain chosen men, some seventy in number, in order that they also
might instruct such of the people as chose, after a little the written
law had added to it certain falsehoods contrary to the law of
God,946
946 The Vatican
ms. reads: “against the only
God.” | who made the heaven and the earth, and all
things in them; the wicked one having dared to work this for some
righteous purpose. And this took place in reason and judgment,
that those might be convicted who should dare to listen to the things
written against God, and those who, through love towards Him, should
not only disbelieve the things spoken against Him, but should not even
endure to hear them at all, even if they should happen to be true,
judging it much safer to incur danger with respect to religious faith,
than to live with an evil conscience on account of blasphemous
words.
