Church Service ; 2d, Church Ministers ; 3d, Church Liv-
ings and Maintenance; 4th, Church Discipline; in all which
they complained of many abuses and corruptions.
The King who was resolved to follow the example of other
Christian Princes, who, in the commencement of their reigns,
usually took the first course for the establishing of the Church,
both for doctrine and polity, issued out his proclamations,
whereby he appointed several Bishops and Deans, together with
the Principals of those who had presented this petition to the
King, to attend on him at his palace at Hampton-court, on
January 12, 1603, there to confer with his Majesty about
these abuses and corruptions of which he had received such
complaints."

" On the second day of this conference, Dr. Reynolds, who
was the foreman and speaker of the Puritans, moved his Majesty
that there might be a new translation of the Bible, because, as
he said, those which were allowed in the reigns of Henry VIII.
and Edward VI., were corrupt, and not unswerable to the
truth of the original."—Page 310.
" Messieurs de Beausobre and L'lnfant, Ministers of the
French Church at Berlin, represented to the late King of
Prussia, that the French translations of the Bible began to he
neither so intelligible nor agreeable to be read as they were at
first, and that therefore to be edified by them required that
they should be revised, or a new translation made. On which
that Prince pitched on them for this purpose, and by his Royal
Decree appointed them to make a new translation."—P. 372.

Now comes the modern—mightier far.
" If he who spake as never man spake, who came to bless all
nations with divine wisdom, was by the enemies of his Gospel,
the Pharisaical critics of the time, charged with being beside
himself—of having a devil, &c., because he told them that they
tanght for doctrines the commandments of men, i. e. the false
interpretations of the sacred original, and on that account was
persecuted by the bigots of that day,—one humble as myself
may expect to be abused by men of this description." . . .
" But my motives and my principles are, I presume to hope,
worthy the protection of my Country, and its established
Church; and, under the guidance of Heaven, I look to both.
For the condescension and uniform patronage which I have re-
ceived, I shall ever feel the most lively gratitude ; the Prince
Regent, 50,copies, 1,000/. I trust that it will support me in the
prosecution of my labours, will protect me from the insidious
influence of calumny, and the more daring violence of malice,
envy, and all uncharitableness."

111 r. Bellamy's Reply to the Quarterly Review-50 copies,

4‘ But if it be a sin to covet honour,
I am the most offending soul alive.
This act shall the good man teach his son ;
And with it we shall be remembered."

" University Education." " The great resorts and seats of
learning often outlive in this way the intentions of founders, as
the world outgrows them. Our Universities are, in a great
measure, become cisterns to hold, not conduits, to disperse,
knowledge. The age has the start of them, that is, other
sources of knowledge have been opened since their formation, to
which the world have had access, and have drank plentifully at
these living fountains, from which they are debarred by the
tenor of their Charter, and as a matter of dignity and privilege.
All that has been invented or thought in the last two hundred
years they take no cognizance of, or as little as possible, they
are above it, they stand upon the ancient land-marks, and will
not budge, whatever was not known when they were'endowed, they
are still in profound and lofty ignorance of."—Hazlitt's Table
Talk: also, the Examiner, Jan. 20, 1828.
"Let the Noble Viscount persevere in the course—i. e., re-
sisting the demands of, and braving the direction of Radicals--
which he had resolved upon taking, and then let him trust to
the good sense of the people of this country for support.'
Such were the words in which the Duke o Wellington ex-
pressed his confidence in the sincerity of Lo aMelbourne."—
The Times, July 1, 1839.
"It was said by the Noble Duke ellington) that those
opinions were contrary to the opinions neld by the University
of Oxford. He (Viscount Melbouone) had great respect for
that University, but he could not admit that the University of
Oxford was to be infallible in these matters. On the contrary,
it was well known that the opinions of the Reformers who
brought about the Reformation in the Church were entirely
opposed to the University of Q4x ford. It was well known, that
if the opinions of that Unive isity had been adhered to, the
Protestant religion would ne)teir have been established. The
opinions of Locke were opposed to those of the University; and
if their opinions only were to be consulted, everything liberal,
noble, and ingenuous in our institutions would never have been
established."—Viscount Melbourne's Speech in the House of
Lords, on the debate on the Earl of Radnor's motion respecting
the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge.—The Morning
Herald, Friday, Dec. 22, 1837.
"We observe in a pamphlet, Anti-Deist,' published by
Mr. Bellamy, that Exodus, c. iii, v. 22, is a gross mistransla-
tion. He notices a number of other errors in the translation
of the Bible now in use, equally hostile to the true meaning of
the writers. It is not a little curious, that many of these mis-
translated passages, which give meanings in direct opposition to
the real ones, have been as stoutly defended by eminent theo-
logians as any in the whole Look, and long commentaries have
been written upon them, expressly to show their beauty and
propriety."—The Examiner, Dec. 24, 1821.
" Mr. Bellamy, in a very conclusive performance, the Anti_
Deist, does not attempt to parry the weapon, so much as to
disarm the hand that wields it ; for he does not explain away
the objections that have been advanced by the Deist, but he
labours rather to extirpate them, and to show that they have no
other root but misconception or mistake. Should this author's
emendations turn out correct, they should be adopted, as no
time and no authority can consecrate error. Mr. Bellamy has

patron as the author."
" His alterations, I admit, are extremely numerous, im-
portant, and consequential, but they are supported by a mass of
erudition, authority, and argument, that does indeed demand
our most serious attention, and many in common with my; elf,
will lament that they have drank more freely at the stream,
than at the fountain."

" We hail the march of intellect, because we know—that a
reason that is cultivated, is the best support of a worship that
is pure. It is for those whO thrive by the darkness to hurl
their anethemas against the diffusion of light; but wisdom, like
a pure and bright conductor, can render harmless the brutum
fulmen' of the Vatican."—Lacon, C. C. Colton.
" I may therefore conclude, that upon this revision of the
Hebrew Scriptures, great stress ought to be laid, as anticipat-
ing a closer approximation in sentiment among all denomina-
tions of Christians now at variance with each other, upon cer-
tain disputed points of doctrine—under this impression, I think
all must subscribe to its importance."—Chester Chronicle, Feb.
20, 1824,

,
" We may be sure that sufficient care has been taken that
the Holy Scriptures should contain nothing unsuitable to the
character or dignity of God, and that God should say nothing
of himself which should derogate from his own Majesty. "
Milton's Posthumous Treatise.
" Mr. Carlisle then read the names of several of the sub-
scribers, beginning with the Prince Regent, who at first sub-
scribed only for five copies; but, pleased with the specimens of
the translations forwarded to him by the gentleman in ques-
tion' had increased that number to fifty. This anecdote he
had from Mr. Bellamy himself, who wasi, ntimately acquainted
with Dr. Clarke, the Prince's librarian. Here Mr. Carlisle
iterated his argument, arising from the discrepancy of the two
translations, and the consequent fallibility, at least, of one
version."

To CORRESPONDENTS.--" The Bible.—We have been so
earnestly exhorted to persevere in opening our Paper to the dis-
cussion of the merits of the New Translation, as a question of
the utmo, t importance to the interests of mankind, that we feel
it to be our duty to comply. Our Correspondents, therefore,
shall be attended to in turn, as we have reason to believe that
the Heads of the Church have already directed their attention
to the controversy."—The Sun, London, Saturday, Dec. 5,
1818.

" Surely the elevated patronage which this New Translation
has deservedly obtained, should operate as a general example
and incitement. Shall the Bible, with its many acknowledged
errors, descend to posterity polluted with all those errors ; or
shall it be transmitted to the latest generations of mankind,
with as much of its original purity as it is po.,sible for human
sagacity, knowledge, and diligence to elucidate and confirm."—.

First and Second Replies to the Quarterly Review, showing
the gross errors the Reviewer has made in his Remarks on the
New Translation of the Bible.

" I now proceed to examine the passage which the Reviewer
has adduced to prove how grossly I have erred in translating
the word gnaaroumin, prudent, instead of naked ; which is in
Job, c. 22. v. 6. And stripped the naked of their clothing.
This is, perhaps, one of the passages which he deems ' elegant,'
' simple,' and 'dignified.' It is simple' enough, surely ; and
such simple passages abounding in the common version have in
all ages excited the wonder of intelligent men. Stripped the
naked of their clothing ! In the name of common sense, if
they were naked, how could they be stripped ?"—Extracts. See

Authorised Version, Deuteronomy, chap. 14, v. 22 :—" Thou
shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed."
" It is a well-known maxim of English law, suggested by
common sense, and recognised by every principle of justice, to

infer, that the long and uninterrupted enjoyment of a civil
right must have originated in a reg-alar grant from the original
owner, although no express evidence can be produced of
existence of such conveyance." On Tithes.—Quarterly Re-
view, No. 53. . _

New Trans'ation :—" A tenth thou shalt tenth, of all the
increase of thy seed." Note—Onkelos, the most eminent of
all the learned Rabbis, who lived before the dispersion of the
Hebrews, and consequently made the translation of the Sacred
Volume into Chaldee at that period when the Hebrew was a
national language, he thus translates the clause—gnasaara
tignsarah, " a tenth thou shalt tenth," which is the same as
the Hebrew. The Septuagint 3E-4z-rri7 avc? o..sx^c'D crF (both
Alexandrine and Vatican) " a tenth thou shalt tenth." The
learned Selden, Le Clerc, and other great authorities on
tithes, say—" It is not likely that the Levites should have had
a tenth of the whole produce of the land, because the number
of the tribe of Levi, compared with the numbers of the other
tribes, was so trifling. Neither could it be of all the produce
of the land, but of the increase of the seed; as it is truly said
in the common version : for the increase must necessarily have
been that part of the produce after the seed employed to give
the increase, had been returned to the grower out of the gross
produce ; otherwise it could not have been said it was the " in-
crease of the seed."

" When the harvest had beene ended, and all gathered, then
the husbandman laid aside his great themma, otherwise called
the first fruits of his threshing floore, of which it bath beene
spoken in chapter on first fruits; which, though it were one
of ten, in respect of that portion which the Levites received,
yet it was but one of a hundred in respect of the husbandman's
tocke, who payed the Levites; the Levites payed a tenth por-
tion unto the Priests ; this they termed Magnasher mim-ham-
magnasher, the tithe of the tithes, Neh. x. 38. The Pharises
would pay a tenth, Matt. xxiii. 23 ; and hence it is that they
boasted, They gave tithes of all that they possessed, Luke
xviii. 12."—Civil and Ecclesiastical Rites, used by the ancient
Hebrews. Dedicated to the Earl of Pembroke, Chancellor of
the University of Oxford. By Thomas Godwyn, 8.D., 1634.
" Add to this, that by the tenth part of the lands must ne-
cessarily be meant the tenth part of the profits ; which must
be owned to be a very forced interpretation, especially in a
primordial act such as this:'''—Page 111, Rapin's History of
England. See The Sun, Nos. 14,628-14,E62.

mention, Bishop Barlow observes, is made of tithes
in the grand codes of canons, ending in the year of our Lord
457, (which, next to the Bible, he considers as the most au-
thentic book in the world). During all that period, there-
fore, both the clergy and Church appear to have been sup-
ported by the free gifts and other oblations of the pious."—See
Selden on Tithes, and Barb. liem. 169.

" Tithes, from the Saxon word Teoda, which signifies the
tenth part of a thing, may be defined to be the tenth part of
the increase yearly, arising and renewing from the profits of
land, the stock upon lands, and the personal industry of the in-
habitants.-2 Black. Corn. 24.

" The King, Henry the Fourth, representing to the Parlia-
ment his great want of an extraordinary aid, the Commons
went in a body and addressed him, That without burdening
his people he might supply his occasions byseizing the revenues
of the clergy.' The Archbishop of Canterbury resisted—the
Commons brought in a Bill to seize the clergy's revenues—
the solicitations of the Archbishop were so prevalent with the
Lords, that they threw out the Bill, so the Commons were
forced to find other means to supply the king's occasions ; the
clergy granted a tenth and a half."—Page 495.
The Commons, willing to comply with the King's
(Henry V.) demand of a subsidy, presented an address, praying
him to seize the clergy's revenues. The clergy perceiving
their ruin inevitable, came to the resolution to: resign a part of
their riches to the King in order to save the rest,"—Page 509,
Rapin's History of England.
" It has been presumptuous," so we read in the pithy Exam-
iner, No. 780, "to dabble in chemistry ; to look through a te-
lescope ; to innoculate for thesmall-pox ; to abate the virulence
of a pestilential disorder by the salutary assistance of a cow ;
lastly, and we trust the argument will be deemed conclusive—.
to read the Bible. And in what has all this presumption gene-
rally consisted? In the anxiety of some men to know more
than it was convenient for other men they should know. The
moment the daring inquirer discovered a truth—a truth !—which
threatened to militate against a profitable system of error, then
the awful secrets' were invaded—the ' ark of the sanctuary'
disturbed. Any Barabbas of the day was milk-white compared
with the daring offender : in a word, ' away with him.' Could
great men thunder,' says Shakspeare, ' there would be nothing
but thunder.' Could they make a thirst for knowledge sinful
and presumptuous, there would be a most inconvenient multipli-
cation of awful secrets.' "

Having now emerged from the honourable estimation in the
community, we take leave to mention a few whose great names
gave permanency to the system.

to a direct taxation, amounting on the rent, tithe, and poor-rate,

Reasons in favour of a New Translation of the Holy Scrip.
tures. By Sir Jams 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 re-
vealed law of God. Which of these is preferable—which of
them is it no less the interest than it is the duty of every rea-
sonable being to adopt—cannot admit of a doubt. In such a
case let us not be alarmed by any vain fear of temporary in-
convenience, which ought not for a moment to weigh against
the permanent and incalculable advantages attendant on such
a measure. Let us, on the other hand, entertain a lively, and,
I t, ust, a well-founded hope, that those who govern our Church
and. State, may be pleased to take the matter into consi-
deration, andl irect an immediate revision of our Received
Version, or, what might perhaps be more recommendable, a
New Translation of the Original Text."—Extracts.

A Reply to the Rev. Mr. Todd's Vindication of our Trans-
lation and Translators of the Bible. By Sir James Bland
Burgess, 1890 L
" I certainly, therefore, should have considered them as alio-
gether undeserving of a reply, had they not been employed as
a vehicle of much illiberal personality, to which the writer has
affected to give an additional weight, by ostentatiously an-
nouncing himself in his title-page, as Keeper of the Arch-
bishop of Canterbury's Records,' and by dating his preface from
The Library, Lambeth Palace.' "
" Such were the birth and parentage of our received ver-
sion, as asserted by Mr. Todd himself, and proved by his own
testimony ! No further comment on it is necessary." Suo
sibi gladio hung jugalo.
" Resting on this evidence, I leave this charge, and with it
the whole of Mr. Todd's Vindication of our authorised trsnsla-
tion and translators, than which a more meagre, crude, and
unsatisfactory performance, was never obtruded on the public."
" The charge of Socinianism is a mere stale haclznied Ir'cl:
of miserable controversialists, when they are reduced to Il)e
naltry shift of calling names, in the hope of thereby eseep;rg
from the effect of arguments, which they are incapable of an-
swering. Does not he know that it was employed against I e
Clerc ? Did he never hear of a similar charge made against our
immortal Locke ? If such artifices were used against men of
their exalted characters, I can have no pretension to expect a
more liberal treatment."

" Some may say, Le tus 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 Revolm;on
could have taken place, and we should have been still subject eo
Romish superstition, 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 considerations ; let us
not leave to the enemios 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 New-
combe, 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 I3ible !' "—Extracts.

PIRACY.
AN INJUNCTION has been granted by his
Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR against the
POST-OFFICE ALMANAC, on account of the more im-
portant part of its contents having been printed from the
POST-OFFICE LONDON DIRECTORY for 1840,
or from the IMPERFECT PROOF SHEETS thereof, sur-
reptitiously obtained. To prevent the succes,ful repetition of
any similar experiment, the Proprietor of the Directory has,
in Forty Closely Printed Royal Octavo Pages, recompiled
the entire POST-OFFICE DIRECTORY division of the
Work at the Price of ONE SHILLING.

In this reprint will be found all the information contained
in the Post-office London Directory, with reference to the Re-
gulations of the Post-office from the most Authentic Sources.

THE POST-OFFICE LONDON DIREC-
TORY FOR 1840,
Containing a General Alphabetical Directory ; Law Direc-
tory; Trades' Directory, being an accurate Classification of all
Trades and Professions ; Conveyance Directory; Banking
Directory ; Parliamentary Directory, &c. &c.
These various divisions have been compiled from information
collected to a period infinitely more recent than hr.s been at-
tempted in any similar publication, and much therefore is now
furnished that cannot appear in any other Annual Work until
1841. Among the various matters exclusively in this Direc-
tory will be found an accurate detail of the operation of the
recent orders for the Reduction of Postage upon Correspondence
to every part of the world.
The work must form an almost indispensable appendage
to the Banker's desk, the Merchant's counting-house, the So-
licitor's office, and the Trader's shop, and at once be of utility
to the public generally."—Times, Nov. 26, 1839.

0 Trinity, one God, have mercy upon us !—Litany.
CHRISTIE'S DISCOURSES on the DI-
VINE UNITY. Fourth Edition, price 3s.

We are not the advocates of what is popularly called Uni-
tarianism, because we believe the Divinity and atonement of
the Lord Jesus Christ. But why divorce these apostolical
doctrines from a belief—and a bona fide belief in the apostolical
God of that Lord ? Whence is it that in our prayers or praise
we never hear the name of God in that relation ? Do we set
down St. Paul not altogether but almost only a Christian, be-
cause we never hear from him of such a name or God as
Trinity ?
