NEW TRANSLATION of the BIBLE.
" You may be assured that, deeply sensible of the duties
imposed upon me, and more especially of that which binds me
to the support of the Established Church, I shall always use the
powers vested in me by the Constitution for the fulfilment of
that sacred obligation."—Her Majesty's Answer to the Address
of the Lords.—The Weekly Dispatch, Sunday, July 14, 1839.
" The favour and the love of Heaven, we have great argu-
ment to think in a peculiar manner propitious and propending
towards us. Why else was this nation chosen before any other,
that out of her, as out of Sion, should be proclaimed and
sounded forth the first tidings and trumpet of reformation to all
Europe."—Areopagitica : Milton.
We shall here exhibit to the country, that for the great
" measure of truth which we enjoy," we are indebted to Mo-
narchs—rightly so—they were "the people's trust."
" All the King's—( Henry the Eighth's)—proceedings con-
vincing the Pope that he was to expect no change in him,
he published at length the Bull of Excommunication, drawn,
and signed in 1535. As soon as Henry heard of the Bull being
published, he required the Bishops and Abbots to swear again
to renounce the Papal authority. At the same time, the new
translation of the Bible being presented to him, he ordered
1,500 copies to be printed, being satisfied that nothing would
be found there to support the exhorbitant power assumed by the
Pope over all Christendom.
" Grafton, the printer, printed 1,500 at his own charge,
which amounted to 5001. !"—History of England, by Rapin,
p. 819.
" Then came the reign of Queen Elizabeth ;
but I know that she had great worldly glory. I have seen her
in history, and I hrve read of her in those pageants, when the
people of England surrounding her, and the leading gentry her
slaves ; while her glorious flag was unstained on land, and floated
invincible over every sea. I know all this, and 1 know that female
