| Matthew 5:41
| And whosoever shall force thee to go one mile, go with him other two.
| Go with him other two.{ Ver. 41. Vade cum eo et alia duo. In the ordinary Greek copies, we only read upage met autou duo. But in other manuscripts upage met autou eti alla duo.|} I know many interpreters would have it to signify no more than two in all. But the literal sense of the Latin, and also of the best Greek manuscripts. (as Dr. Wells takes notice in his amendments to the Prot. translation) express two more, that is not only as far again, but twice as far. And thus it is expounded by St. Augustine, Serm. Domini in monte. t. 3:p. 193. Ed Ben. (Witham) --- Continue to be his guide sooner than lose patience, or be wanting in charity. (Haydock)
