1.) Tyndale had a writting freestyle that used divers spelling of the
same name like: Isay, Esay (that we call Isaiah,) Hierusalem &
Ierusalem (Jerusalem;) Iury, Iewry, Iewery: (Jewry which is interpreted
as Judaea) etc.. although the reader is able to easily recognize; the
same like when we call somebody a shorten or derived form of their
name; Hence most names are also kept that way in this online edition.
2.) Most words were updated to current 'go spelling'; For ensample the
word hys=his or wyfe=wife is updated as such.
3.) The words "off" & "of" were sometimes interchanged in the original,
the same with "then" & "than".
4.) The original translation used both lower and upper case
sporadically, as an example for lower-case jewe I rendered it as jewe
and left Iewe when in upper-case; also most descriptors were kept in
the same letter case like in the original; Nonetheless the significance
of the whole original text still remains intact in this restored
edition.
B.) Further word notes on interesting T.N.T renderings you may come
across :
a.) COMO : original spelling like 1526 edition "como" and according to
the Greek word Erhomenon (participle present) it is best translated: as
coming, even returning
(that is, Iesu Christ is coming in the glorious body of resurrection.)
Found in the second letter of John :
"For many deceivers are entered into the world, which confess not that
Iesus Christ is como in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an
antichrist."
b.) ESTER : exact spelling, (other: passover, the feast of sweet bread)
ester lamb: this is the Hebrew feast of sweet bread, and this lamb was
offered at the first passover in egypt. (also pascha : or paschal lamb;
that Christ the Lord fulfilled by shedding his precious blood for us at
calvary)
c.) IESUS, IESU : "J" was not used in the original W.T. English for
words (although is used as a 1 roman numeral .j.) William Tyndale like
most early translators were very accurate in rendering the name of the
Lord from the original tongue. The name of our Lord for ensample was
kept the exact spelling shewing that the English root word came from
the latin word Iesu (pronounced Yesu) that is derived from the Greek
word Iesous and most important of all that the Greek got it from the
Hebrew word Y'shu of Yahshuah meaning G_D "Yah" will save and be our
health "shuah" (like the name Ioshua in the O.T.) that has a similar
meaning of the Name; An Angel will be able to verify the significance
in the first chapter of Matthew.
So only names starting with "I" instead of our modern "J" were kept as
the original. Like other names: Iewry, Iury : which by interpretation
is Judea.
note: Jury is an interesting rendering taking into account the gospel
and Romans chap. ix.
d.) GOSPELL : (v.) exact original spelling; (—as in "go" & "spell";-)
As to spell forth a good saying, glad speech; to tell the joy-full
letters thereof.
Gospel, (n.) [other: Godspell; God + spell : his letters, promises, &
true story. The glad tidings; that is, the good news of Christ the Lord
who came in the flesh and died for our sins, whom God his father rose
from the dead, and will rise all the dead at the last trompe; the soon
coming Kingdom of God, and eternal health.
e.) LOWSE, lowsed, lowsest, loosed, loose (v.) : to turn loose, let go
lowse, lose (adj.) loose
(note: from the Greek : loose, untie; release, set free; break away,
set aside; destroy, pull down; break up; or allow. "Low" from the
Hebrew is to humble.)
"And I will give unto thee, the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and
whatsoever thou bindest upon earth, it shall be bound in heaven: and
whatsoever thou lowsest on earth, it shall be lowsed in heaven."
Matthew chapter xvi.
