It's puzzling only if you assume he had control of the finished product. He may never have seen a proof. In any case, the early days of printing were not a great age of proofreading. For a good time, look at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bible_errata which lists some of the better-known errors printers have made in English-language bibles, including the "Adulterers Bible" ("Thou shalt commit adultery"), the "Lions Bible" ("thy son that shall come forth out of thy lions"), the "Wicked Bible" ("the unrighteous shall inherit the kingdom of God"), and, a propos of this thread, the "Printers Bible" ("Printers have persecuted me without a cause"). -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
