at one time, that he ha no. AT subse-
qaent period" Is this logic? What !.
poor Justification for this corruption Of the
text!
The second corruption of Protestant
Bible, which he attempts to justify is as
follows: Philippians 4, 3. '.-Aad I entreat
thee my sincere companion help the e0onaaa
aoho haze laboured nth me an The Gospel. .
Protest ants corrupt this text, by changing
the words sincere companiou into true
yoke felfoa0, to make the people believe
THAT they were man AMI wife. Their on-
ject was to teach the people TO look with
a more favorable eye on the married cler-
gy; and "a Protestant" stands up also for
this corruption. But Calvin and Beza
translate ".SuSuges" in the masculine gen
der for a compaaion All Christians be-
fore Professionalism, translated it in mascu
line gan,ler as companion. S. Theophy-
lactu>, Greek Father of the Church, saith
if 5. Paul meant a aooman, The word sho'd
have been Guuesia suzage in Greek. Now
SuzNgos signifies companion, colleague, co
operator. All the Syrian copies, use The
masculine gender. All the Greek, ana
Latin Fathers, contend, 5 Paul spok of a man
But let RE ask Protestant, how could S.
Paul leave his wife behind him at Philip
pi in Macedonia; when he tells us clear
ly in | Corinlh 7, that he had no wife {?
AMI !. Protestant cannot prove that he ever
had one. And again, how can he recon
ellie this text with the former, VIII re ST.
Paul here talks of leaving his wife, fac
corIing to Protestant,) at Philppi; and
in the previous text according to Prot
estaDi) insisted on leading her about with
him? i when man abanlons truth, he
gropes in darkness, and falls from one al
ways into another.
Thus we see in the lst corruption a
word Of doubtful meaning changed into Il
leterminate Specification, changed by
Luther when he married, to reconcile the
,rople to his marriage, and continued by
ProteStants for the self same reason. In
the 81 word of clear meaning i, changed
into an ambiguous Specification, changed
by Pfotestants for the same reason as
above. Now is this a scholarly justltica
ton of these two corruptions9 Is "a Prot

Uu.b,a to l;sprove m" long list Of Pfo'
estaat corruptions of the Bible, he turns a
ronnd and attacks the Doway aud the
Vuiyate. As my present article Is too
long already, will in my next, show how
laniustlv he acts in this-and that he has
20 foundation for such attacks. In con
clusion, let me remark that cannot IN
