Hebrew.—" Now, it was at midnight, that Jehovah smote every firstling in the land of Egypt, from the firstling of Pharaoh, who sat upon his throne, to the firstling of the captive, that was in the hoarse of the dungeon." Exodus, xiv. 21.—And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord 'caused the sea to go back by a strong east-wind all that night." New Translation.—" Then Moses stretched forth his hand to ward the sea ; and Jehovah caused the sea to return by a strong wind eastward." Note.—" An east-wind would necessarily drive the waters of the ocean through the Straits of Babelmandel into the Red Sea, and thus raise the waters higher than usual, which would have prevented the rea from being dry land, as stated in the common version.

From which it appears, that the word Shougnaalim means handfuls, or armfuls, of anything to which it is applied; and, in this passage, it is applied to the sheaves of corn evidently ; that he took Three Hundred Handfuls, or Armfuls, of the Sheaves of Corn, and Turned them Tail to Tail, and put Fire-b ran d s i n th e midst between the Tails."—Extracts, see Galway Independent, April 28, 1837.

V. 6.—" There the Arabians brought for him bread and flesh in the morning," &c. Job, c. i. v. 6.—The Bishop of London begins his note by ob serving, " This is a bold variation from the generally admitted sense of the Hebrew paraphrase ; but I am convinced after the most mature consideration, that the conception of the passage is no less just, than it is original. It certainly is defensible upon the strongest ground." " It is a bold variation, and I am (new translator) constrained to observe, that the conception of the passage is neither Just, nor Ori ginal, and that it is not Defensible.' Job xxxix. 19.—" Hast thou given the horse strength ? Haat thou clothed his neck with thunder ?" In this verse we have one of the finest similies I have ever met with in any author, ancient or modern ; the greatest beauties in Homer, Virgil, or Milton, are as far below it as to propriety of application, or elegance of expression, as the Supreme Speaker is above the person addressed. The Bishop of London is willing to admit that Rangmaah means " the thunder," but he says, " is not this one of those noble and sublime expressions, of which one dares not question the meaning ? other wise, it may be asked, how can a can a neck be clothed with thun der?" That the passage is " noble and sublime" must be allowed ; but we cannot suppose that the Sacred Scriptures, which God has given for a rule of life, are given in such " noble and sublime" lan guage, that we are not to question, or endeavour to understand their meaning ; what idea ran we form of the " noble and sublime," if its meaning be unintelligible ? That which cannot be understood can neither be noble nor sublime. Now, as the lightning precedes, and by its swiftness and power is the cause of the thunder, which it necessarily draws with it, so the swiftness and power of the horse is in this striking metaphor compared to the lightning, for the swiftness and power with which he rushes into the battle, described in this chapter, dragging after him the iron war-chariots, with which they fought in those days, the noise of which is in this pas sage compared to the thunder."—P. 212. -The Classical Journal, No. 5.

" But, he (Naaman) entreats (says his Lordship), that his apparent idolatry in his attendance on his master in the temple of Rimmon might be pardoned. And how does he propose to reconcile his wish to per. form apparent idolatry, with his being afraid even of the appearance of it in his future attendance on his master. But in truth, there is not one word in the original to countenance that sense. " It is truth only which can make a nation invulnerable, and raise it to the highest degree of excellence—the blaze of divine truth, which is contained in the real Ark of God, the hallowed oracles, which break forth over the dark mountains of error, bi gotry and superstition,—and men will be enabled to drink the pure waters as they flow from the fountain of eternal truth."— P. 226.

LONDON, SATURDAY EV_ENING, JANUARY 19, 1839 In the early ages of the Christian Church, not translated ; and tl.iv is the case with numbers where the Hebrew words hare been re kined by the translators in Greek. I call upon Mr. Todd, and the writer of the Critical Enquiry, to favour the public with the solu tion of the above difficulty. If they cannot, they are not qua'iti d to translate from the Hebrew." • • • • • . _ _ iDECLARATtON Agreed upon at a Special Meetirrr of the LEICESTERSHIRE A CeINDEI'ENDENT . ......„—_,..- - -.. . . -- - CHURCHES AND - MINIST.BRS, Held at Gallowtree-gate Chapel, Wednesday, Jan. 18, 18:10. HE cause of IteligiGlis L'berty having been of late assailed With titiustial i•ifttlehoe; the Support of the State Church by Dissenters having been enforced in numeretis instances by distraint, and now at length the despotic power of Ecclesiastical Courts having been invoked to harass and overwhelm us, we deem it due to those who have already suffered, to our own character, and to the cause of Christ; publicly and solemnly to record our Senti ments thereupon. _ We hold the Gospel to , be God's proclamation of love and mercy by Jews Christ to man, addressed to his heart, capable of being en• forced by no human aUthoflty, effectual to sate only as it ia volun tarily embraced, imposing upon those to whom it is sent iespnitsi mliieliott of yto God only f o r th e i r t rea t men t o f it, and repudiating th e employment of f rau d, fO rce , an d v i o l ence i n its support. We mai n tai n th a t . the' laws of man cannot supersede the laws of God; that %that is ih itselfiintightept4s cannot be made ,just by beeOming l ega l ; th a t no b o d y o f men ha ve th e r ight to pltititiCr others i n ma i ntenance of the i r own system of b e li e f , s i mp l y b ecauee they h ave t h e power; and that seizure of property and imprison person by the Church, in the name and for the ends of religion, as it is a violation of Christian spirit and a direct trans gression. of Christia.n law, tan never, by any legislative power on earth, be rendered other than offensive to God. We observe that the State, which gives authority to Episco palians to levy and enforce Church-rates, does not compel them to use it. It they fall back upon it, they do so voluntarily. Law is the instrument, but they are the agents of these unrighteous pro ceedings. The deed, with all its guilt, is their's who could, by voluntary subscription, prevent it, but do not ; or who, privately condemning it, do not, by public protest, wash their hands of all participation of what is done in their names. • _ " Surely, every one who believes in the sanctity of the word of God, for the reasons above given, will be convinced that It never was subject to those casualties which ever attend on the writings of men, and will not hesitate to say, that the most confi:med infidels, from the time of Porphyry of Celsus, to the modern Deist, could Sot have broached a more impious and untenable dogma—than the sacred original " Inspired Volumes were corrupt." "As the University is implicated, by the Syndics defraying the expense of the publication called A Critical Enquiry, it vr: , l something new in the annals of that high seat of learning, and will be heard with astonishment in the Continental Universities, that a book containing eueh dangerous and infidel dognms, calcu lated if believed to shake the faith of all Uhristendom, is printed at the expense of the Syndics of the University of Cambridge, written by a man who says, that the third person singular of the verb is also the participle active."—Extracts. aßeason why . the Roman Catholic Emancipation cannot be granted, without imminent danti - e,,,r. to, and violation of, the principles of the Protestant Constitution as settled at the Reformation. 1828. " From the commencement of the Christian Church to the time of Constantine, the Church of Christ was pure, it was to that pe riod 'Apostolic; but when Constantine turned Christian he brought into the Church, an inundation of wealth, Paganism, and worldly grandeur, which like a mighty flood, swept away the truths of the Apostolic Church." " The Papists refuse to take the oath of supremace, as they will not allow any other potentate to be supreme, except the Pope." —Extracts.—See The Sun, January 17th. " The Hanover Gazette admits that the Archbishop of Cologne has sent a courier to Berlin, demanding to be transferred to Cologne, orMunster, but makes no offer of submission."—Herald, Sept. 17, 1838. " The Pope and the King of Prussia.—The following is the address of the Pope to his consistory on the erection of the Bishopric of Algiers, pronounced on the 13th of September " • • • , • " Tho Holy Father then raising his pastoral voice with Apostolic Freedom, calls earth and heaven to witness his complaints against the detriment done to the Church in the Kingdom of Pru:sia."— The Morning Herald, Oct. 3, 1838. • Imperial Rome governed the bodies of men, but did net extend her empire further. Papal Rome improved upon Imperial she made the tiara stronger than the diadem; pontiffs more powerful than praetors ; and the crotier more victorious than the sword. She devised a system so complete in all its parts, for the subjuga tion both of body and mind, that, like Archimedes, she asked but one thing, and that Luther denied her—a fulcrum of ignorance on on which to rest that lever by which she could have balanced the world.—Lacon. - Such being our deliberate convictions, we deem it our duty re spectfully but solemnly to warn members of the Establishment, both clerical and lay, that they will be answerable in the dreadful day of account for offences against charity and righteousness, per petrated under their sanction, or with their connivance, in the name of law and religion. We call upon them, by the duty they owe alike to God and man, to abstain from these oppressive acts, by which the peace of their conscientious neighbours is invaded, bitterness of feeling engendered, and Christianity exhibited to the world in colours not her own. We protest against their right to compel our support of their system of faith and discipline. We pretest against that law which assumes to give them that right ; we protest against the administration of that law in every case : but, above all, we record our most indignant protest against the exist ence, the form, and the grinding cruelty of Ecclesiastical Court s . (Signed on behalf of' the meeting), GEORGE LEGGE, Chairman. We repeat our entreaty to his Majesty the King of Prussia, as " wisdom, like a pure and bright conductor, can render, harmless the brutum fulmen' of the Vatican, by following the precedent of the illustrious dead—to give the Italian priest' a similar denial. " The last ten years have brought with them a century's strength to the Roman Catholic cause in Ireland. To win back heretical England to the Romish fold, is undoubtedly, the great, the ultimate object of the Irish Roman Catholic party. Let those who dread such a result, bestir themselves forthwith to subvert a policy, of which, that result must prove a necessary consequence."—Herald, Oct. 5, 1838. " He is the freeman whom the truth makes free,"—(Powlett's Reasons for beim!. a Christian) therefore a brawling nation, " hereditary bomismen," whose natural position makes it the soundest sense of policy (no other consideration) to keep them in amity with us—let us, that she may be a worthy associate, so sound the trumpetof reform—o: rather of "ref nlnaCol a ithin herself" (cur mightiest feat " by glorious valour won," being fough t on foreign soil), that they may be . . . . " Great, glorious and free, Fairest flower of the earth, brightest gem of the sea." The battle array which we present, in promoting and defence o: just immunities—is the combination of "master minds," "the death less part of some who died too soon;" not fifteen thousand fighting men" which most ennobles a nation ? " Papacy (' that infallibility loth so hedge it in') like Pedantry, prides herself on being wrong by rules; would rather stumble in following the dead, than walk upright by the profane assistance of the living. She worships the mouldering mummies of antiquity, and her will is, that they should not be buried, but embalmed. She would have Truth herself bOw to the authority of great names, while common sense would have great names bow to the authority cf truth." " May the diffusion of knowledge, the increase of religion and morality, and the augmented happiness of the people, make the present reign (era) more glorious than triumphs in the field have rendered those that preceded it, and peace hare her vic tories no less renowned than war. " Reasons in Favour ;f a New Translation of the Holy Scriptures. By Sir James Bland Burgess, Bart. 1819. " The matter is highly deserving of attention. It is a question of no less magnitude than the choice between a blind adhesion to error, and a pure and perfect knowledge of the revealed law of God. Which of these is preferable—which of them is it no lees the interest than it is the duty of every reasonable being to adopt— cannot admit of a doubt. In such a case let us not be alarmed by any vain fear of temporary inconvenience, which ought not for a moment to weigh against the permanent and incalculable advan tages attewdant on such a measure. Let us, on the other hand, entertain a lively, and, I trust, a well-founded hope, that those who govern our Church and State, they may be pleased to take the matter into consideration, and direct an immediate revision of our Received Version, or, what might perhaps be more recommend able, a New Translation of the Original Text."—Extracts. A Reply to the Rev. Mr. Todd's Vindication of our Transla tion and Translators of the Bible. By Sir James Bland Burgess, Bart. 1820. " Of all the crafty inventions of the Devil to mislead and seduce mankind, this perversion (Unitarianism) of the Holy Scriptures is the most efficacious : it is rearing the standard of falsehood against the revelation of Heaven (addressed to the Bishops of Durham-and Norwich); it is overthrowing the altars of the Most High, and worshipping the molten calves of our own setting up ; it is poisoning the fount of truth, and converting its pure and sacred streams into corruption and death." " If these be new Texts for Soeinianisrn, the Sociniaas may preach upon them as long as they please without much apprehen sion of danger." " I certainly, therefore, should- have considered them as altoge ther undeserving of a reply, bad they not been employed as a vehi cle of much illiberal personality, to which the writer has affected to give an additional weight, by ostentatiously announcing himself in his title-page, as Keeper of the Archbishop of Canterbury's Re cords,' and by dating his preface from "rhe Library, Lambeth Palace.' " " Such were the birth and parentage of our received version, as asserted by Mr. Todd himself, and proved by his own testimony ! No further comment on it is necessary." Suo sibi gladio hunc jugalo. " Resting on this evidence, I leave this charge, and with it. the whole• of Mr. Todd's Vindication of our authorised translation and translators, than which a more meagre, crude, and unsatisfac • to `y performance, was never obtruded on the public." The charge of Socianism is a mere stale backnied trick of miserable controversialists, when they are reduced to the paltry shift of calling names, in the hope of thereby escaping from the effect of arguments, which they are incapable of answering. Does not he know that it was employed against Le Clerc ? Did he never hear of a similar charge made against our immortal Locke ? If such artiices were used against men of their exalted characters, I can have no pretension to expect a more liberal treatment." Some may say, Let us introduce no change, for we cannot . tell what further changes may be required of us.'—Had this been listened to, neither the Reformation nor the Revolution could have taken place, and we should have been still subject to Romish super stition, and to despotic power." " On the side of those who advocate the necessity of a New Translation rests the whole weight of facts and arguments. Let not these be counteracted by less worthy consideretions ; let us not leave to the enemies of Christianity the only weapons by which it can be assailed ; but let us cordially and sincerely unite with the learned and pious prelate Archbishop Newcombe, in the prayer with which he concludes his preface, May the all-wise God, in His fit time, dispose the Sovereign of the first Protestant Churches, and of the most learned countries in the world, to complete his true acts of piety, by promoting equal attention to the English Bible !"—Extracts.
