To CORAESPONDENTS.—" 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 utmost 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 possible 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 en 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 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
