" 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."

New Trans'atien :—" A tenth thou shalt tenth, of all the
increase of my 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 o:EY.z7r.iv aV6OL'XaT'CDTE't (both
Alexandrine and Vatican) " a tenth thou shalt tenth." The
learned Belden, Le Clerc, and other great authorities on
tithes, say—" It is net 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."

" Add to this, that by the tenth part of the lands •:nust 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 a, this."—Page 111, Rapin's History of
England. See The Sun, Nos. 14,628---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. Cord. 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 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.

" 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 translatien."—P. 372.

" 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
taught 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, 1,0001. I trust. that it will support me in the

" University Education." " The great resorts and scats 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."—Llazlitt'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 Melbourne) 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 Oxford. It was well known, that
if the opinions of that Unive aritv had been adhered to, the
Protestant religion would neykr have been established. The
opinions of Lecke 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- 1
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, 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 misconeeptiou or mistake. Should tins author's
3 " - 1 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 myself,
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 thoss 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 ' brutuin
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 was otimately 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."

MESSRS. SCHOFIELD and SON will
SELL by A UCTION,6 by order of the Devisees
in trust for sale of the late Mr.T John Carr, merchant de-
ceased, at the Three Cranes Inn, High-street, Rotherham,
Yorkshire, on MONDAY, the 2d of December, at Fiveo'clock in
the afternoon, subject to the conditions of sale then to be pro-
duced, in the following desirable Lots ;
Lot 1. The KINGSFORTH SLACKS FARAI ESTATE,
situate at or near Bramley,in the parish of Braithwell, in York-
shire, comprising a new and substantially built Dwellinghouse,
which contains house and sitting rooms, with three lodging
rooms and outer kitchen ; also a smaller Dwellinghouse
adjoining, both replete with excellent fixtures, having a
command of the very convenient farm-yards and build-
in s, which consist of two substantially built barns, also
stables and cow-houses bounding on the north of the farm
yard, which are well adapted for the storing and feeding of
cattle, and farming use. Also the stack-yard and most useful
farming land thereto adjoining, as divided into sizeable closes,
circumscribed by a ring-fence, and containing, with the site
of the buildings, homestead, stack-yards, barns, and piece of
waste thereto belonging and adjoining, 66.5. 2r., or there-
abouts.
The late owner of the above very compact and useful agricul-
tural farm, which abuts upon the estate of the late Thomas
Rawson, Esq., Joseph Walker, Esq., Sir George Sitwell, Bart.,
William Spencer, Esq., and others, has spared no expense in
buildings, draining, gates, fences, and managing the same, so
that it is now in a very fertile productive, and farming-like con-
dition, has a southern aspect, is abundantly supplied with
water, and approximating sufficiently central with the Rotheram,
Sheffield, Doncaster, and other markets. The Advertisers feel
pleasure in inviting an inspection and survey by those having an
intention to purchase.
Lot 2 adjoins the above farm in a westwardly direction, and
comprises Two Closes, laid together, of rich land, in a high
state of condition, and is bounded by the land of Robert Bent-
ley, Esq., Mr. Styring, and ethers, called the Four Acre
Pond Meadows. and Little Pond Meadow, and containing to-
gether about seven acres.
Lot 3. All those two valuable Closes of most useful land with
,the thriving plantation thereto, very desirably situate at Bram-
ley, aforesaid, having the turnpike road from Wickersly to
Maltby, on a northwardly direction, and the road from Bram-
ley to Lot 1 on the East, and containing about 14A. 2a. 15 r.
This Lot has a most commanding and extensive prospect over
the healthful, beautiful, parklike, and picturesque, surrounding
district, and is well-suited for building a mansion, or other
respectable villas upon, and also equally worthy the attention of
those desiring respectable country residences.
Mr. Stafford, the farmer residing in Lot 1, has instructions
to show the Estates, and further particulars may be ascertained
on application to Mr. Riley Carr, merchant, Mr. John Clayton,
broker, the devisees; and'at the offices of Mr. Broomhead, soli-

Song of Solomon, authorized version, chap. Ist, v. 1 I
am black, but comely, 0 ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the
tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon."
Neither in this verse, nor Isaiah, chap. 42, v. 11, is the word
t. Kedar"—" mourning"—translated.
New Translation—" I am the dawning light, as the compa-
nion of peace, when the habitation of the daughters of Jerusa-
lem is as the tabernacles of mourning."—See Clasical Journal,

Disturbing the Classical Journals of 1811 and 1817, on the

"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 have
her victories no less renowned than war."
Reasons in favour of a New Translation of the Holy Scrip-
tures. By Sir James Bland Burgess, Bart. 1819.
" The matter is highly deserving of attention. It is a
qaestion of no less magnitude than the choice between a blind
adhesion to error, and a pure and perfect knowledge of the re.
realed 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, and 1 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, 1820.
" I certainly, therefore, should have considered them as alto-
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-pa!;e, 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 hone jugalo.
" Resting on this evidence, I leave this charge, and with it
the whole of Mr. Todd's Vindication of our authorised transla-
tion and translators, than which a more meagre, crude, and
nnsatisfactory performance, was never obtruded on the ptiblic."
" The cEarge of Socinianism Is a mere stale hacknied trick
of miserable controversialists, when they are redaceff.to the
naltry shift of calling names, in the hope of thereby escaping
from the effect of arguments, which they are incapable of an-
swering. Does not he know that it was employed against Le
Clerc ? Did he never hear of a similar charge made against sun-
immortal Locke? If such artifices were used against men of
their exalted characters, I can have no pretension to empest a
more liberal treatment." Vi
" •:4ome may say, Lotus introduceno change. for we cannot
tell what further changes may be requiied of u+.'.—Had this
been listenedto, neither the Reformation nor the Revolution
could have taken place, and we should have been still subject to
Romish superstition, and to despotic power."
" On the side of those who advocate the necessity of a New
his preface,
disposethe Sovereign
Translation rests the whole weight of facts and arguments. Let
of the most learned
not these be counteracted by less worthy considerations ; 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

any longer laying in abeyance is tantamount to misprision of
treason.

very great, in particular by candlelight, and in course of use for a

beard with distinctness.
