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-
narehs—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
Pepe over all Christendom."

which amounted to 500/. !"—History of England, by Rapin,

" Then came the reign of Queen Elizabeth ;
but I know that she had great worldly glory. I have seen her
in history, and I have 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
reigns are often the most triumphant—(Hear)—and I trust we

" Not only do we owe to the happy Reformation all the do-

Church Service ; 2d, Church Ministers ;

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, theie 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 be
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."--13. 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 accotint 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, 1,0001. 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."

" 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 weriendowed, they
are still in profound and lofty ignorance of."—flazlitt'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 I Wellington ex-
pressed his confidence in the sincerity of Lo aMelbourne."—
The Times, July I, 18.39.
"It was said by the Noble Duke' ellington) that those
opinions were contrary to the opinions neld by the University
of Oxford. He ( Viscount Melbouine) 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 (Ix feed. It was well known, that
if the opinions of that Unive-witv had been adhered to, the
Protestant religion would neior 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 took, and long commentaries have
been written upon them, expressly to show their beauty and
propriety."—The Examiner, Dec. 24, 1.821.
" 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
met with patronage in the very highest quarter—a patronage
liberal in every sense of the word; and as honourable to the
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'cif,
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 anathemas against the diffusion of light ; but wisdom, like
a pure and bright conductor, can render harmless the bruttun
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 can 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 goes-
tion' had increased that number to fifty. This anecdote he
had from Mr. Bellamy himself, who wasi rtimately acquainted
with Dr. Clarke, the Prince's librarian. Here Mr. Carlisle
iterated his argument, arisiag, from the discrepancy of the two
translations, and the consequent fallibility, at least, of one
versiotl."

To CoaaEsroxneNTs.—" 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, at a question of
the utmost impertance 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
is 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 possible for human
sagacity, knowledge, and diligence to elucidate and confirm."

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 been° ended, and all gathered, then

yet it was but one of a hundred in respect of the husbandman's

tion unto the Priests ; this they termed Alagnasher

" 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. 14,623-14,662.
"No 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. Rem. 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 by seizing 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 49.5.
" 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,

" It has been presum tuous," so we read in the pithy Exam-
iner, No. 780, "to dabble in chemistry ; to look through a te-
lescope ;to innoculate for the small-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.

Reasons in favour of a New Translation of the Holy Scrip-

" The matter is highly deserving of attention. It is a
question of no less magnitude than the choice between a blind
adhesion tb error, and a pure and perfect knowledge of the re-
vealed law of God. Which of these is preferable—which of
theni is it no less the interest than it is the ddty of every rea-
sonable being to adept—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 trust, a well-founded hope, that those who govern our Church
and State, rtay 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.
