Excerpt from An Exposition of St. Paul's Epistle to the Romans: Delivered as Lectures in the University of Oxford About the Year 1497 In preparing the Latin for publication, I have had a somewhat difficult course to steer. Golet's style was long ago remarked upon by Erasmus, as not altogether faultless; and in this instance there is the additional disadvantage, that the present text appears to have been only partially corrected by the author. Indeed, the brevity of treatment in the earlier chap ters, as compared with the later ones, almost leads to the conclusion, that we have in the former an abstract only of what Colet really delivered. Except ing, however, in the case of a palpable slip of the pen, I have not ventured on any corrections. The trans lation will show what I thought was intended to be written. Neither have I judged it prudent to alter the spelling, beyond writing uniformly are, instead of e, for the feminine termination, and using j and according to modern custom, for i and u. This is in accordance with the plan followed in editing Golet's former treatises. When we find, in a single sentence of Bishop Longland, printed during Colet's lifetime, such uctuations of spelling as aule suae presentia, this will not seem a great liberty to take.
