give testimony in heaven, the Father, the
Word anltheHoly Ghost these three are
one" Again in Rom. III, %, he adds
the word 'alone" to the text, saving 'sws
account a man to be justified by faith
atone without the works of the law
When he was admonished of this intolera
Die corruption he replied, "The word
alone must remain in my New Testamen,
if allPapists run mad; it grieves me | did
not add also those other two words, with
ont all worh,s Of all laws." Luther IN re-
quifal rejects the Zwinglian translation as
anti christian and deceitfni for translating
our Saviour's words, 'sThis is my I,ody" tc
"lhis signifies my body" Zwinghies did
this to cry down Christ's real presence H.
the Blessed Sacrament
Beza reproves the translation by Oecol.
ampadius and the divines of BAIL, affirm
ling shat The BAIL translation is in many
places wicked, and altogether differing
from the mind Of the Holy Ghost Be
"a condemned the translation Of Castalio
as being sacrilegious, wicked and etheri
Ical.
The learned Protestant Molinans az.
firms of Calvin's translation, 'sthat Calvin
makes the text of the Gospel to leap Ut
and down; he uses violence to the letter Of
the gospel and besides this adds to the
text.
Molinaus says of Beza's translation
which the English especially, follow, she
actually changes the text" Castaio a
learned Cavinist says also of it ''it void
require large volume to note all his err
rors."
| In short, Bucer and the Osianderians
rise up against Luther for false TRANSACTIONS
Luther against Munster; Beza against
CastaIio, and Castalio agalnst Beza; Cal
vim against Servetus; llyricus against both
CALVIN and Beza. Staphylas and Emser-
us noted in Luther's Dutch TRANSACTIONS of
The New Testament, only one thousand,
four hundred heretical eorruptiens. Sc
much for the confessed corruplions in for
eign Protestant translations.
Sd. Now for our Engl.h Protestant
version. Be pleased to take their char
acter from the words of the following
/ Protesiants.
| A petition directed to King James LIST,
complains "that our translation of the
Psalms doth in addition, subtraction ami
alteration differ from the truth of the He
brews in at least two hundred places. >
How if 200 corruptions were found in the
Psalms alone, how manv think you nigh,
be found from Genesis to Revelations il
examined by an impartial and strict exam
nation!
Mr.. Carlisle ayouches 's!hat the English
translates have depraved the sense, OBJ
scured the truth, and deceived the igno
rant, thai in many places they detort The
Scriptures from the right sense, and show
themselves to love darkness more than
| light, falsehool more than tru tn
The ministers of the Lincoln diocese
,ignifed to the King that the English
translation of the Bible SIS translation
that takes away from the text, that adds
10 the text, aud that sometimes, to the
changing or obscuring of the meaning of
the Holy Ghost"
Mr.. Burgess says: 'How shall I approve
Iunder my hand a translation which some
times perverts the sense"
Mr.. Bloughton in his epistle to the
Lords of the council desiring them to pro-
lcure new translation, says: ..tlrat which
lis now in England is fell of errors" He
tells the Bishops that their public trans
lations OF the Scriptures into English, is
such that it perverts the text of the Ole
Testament in s4s places; and that it
lcauses millions of millions to reject the New
Testament and 10 ruin and eternal flames"
A dreadful sentence for all who are to re-
ceive such translation for their only rule
of faith.
Now these Prote ;tant E. glish transla-
lions being thus confessedly corrupt,
abused, senseless, contrary and perverting
the meaning Of the Holy Ghost" prove
rha, the Protestant Bible is, By design,
corrupt copy; King James finally com
,nanded review and reformation OF those
I,ranslations which had passed for Gods
Word in King Edward 9th and Queen E
llizabelh's days. Now what was the nature
of the corrections they made? they appear
to have corrected only such errors as IA
vored the more Pnritanical part of Protes
sants (Presbyterians) against the usurped
authority, pretended episcopacy, ceremon-
lies, and traditions Of the prelate party
For example, the word congregation i.
their first Bibles, the word Church was
odious to them because of the Catholic
Church which they had forsaken, d whicll
withstood and condemned them. But now
being grown up TO something like churcf
las they fancied) they determined to take
the face, figure and granduer Of church
instead of ordinances" institutions,
they now have "traditions." They only
corrected the new translation to suit Their
lew authority. to gain credit for their new
thought or episcopal and priestly charac-
Tier, and ceremonies against Paritans o.
Presby,erians, or for very shame, BY ths
Catholics inveighing against their intoler
able falsifcaiions. But they did not cor
rect either all or tenth part of the cor
ruptions of the former translation.
