The New Revision \ Spicy Article by. one of our New Haven
 Divfnes.
 Rev. Dr. John E. Todd. of this city. has an article in this weeks Independeat on the subject of the new version, which will well repay perusal. The reverend gentleman pens his article in very happy illustrative style, as will appear by glance at the article, which is as follows:
 'sForasmuch as certain prudent men, even 40 men save one, have taken in hand to com unto us the New Testament in care full and honorable English, for our edifca- ton, I am minded, and my will willeth to bs made disciple unto it, and to be taught of them to write unreproveably. repent my self that have so long observed the com mandments of my former masters, and the of them which were supposed to know how that our tongue ought to be used; but, and if my life be spared that might learn, have set my hope on this, that shall straightway cease to make such haYock of the words and the grammar asI did aforetime, and shall do righteousness, and haply shall commend myself unto the judgement of the many, which are an hungred after excel lency of speech. Howbeit I am throughly convicted in regard of this, that shall have a hard season in learning, and must needs be holden up and holpen of my fellows, if am to succeed, and shew myself meet for the work which is before my face.
 It is evident to speak after the flesh, that it is waxing sore hard to read the Bible, while it is being saved from being made too common, and is become before the rest of the books in deepness; and that whensoever it shall have passed through revisions and re- visions, good for us were it rather that it had never been written, except, peradventure, we shall be able to fill up the measure of our want of our understanding through many ancient authorities (now in Hades) and some foolish ones, which ought, ought, say, yea verify, contrariwise, God forbid.
 Now, therefore, seeing that we have an exceeding comely and seemly Testament, let us read out from thence and let us have peace; and let us not set ourselves to find fault with it, neither complain concerning them which have spoiled it of so much that ought not to have been purloined from it, lest we shall make it manifest that we think of ourselves more highly than we ought to think and men think that we do not so think as to think soberly but through our over much confidence, by stinking we shall stink in the presence of the very chiefest scholars, of whom we rejoice, but toward whom we count to be of good courage.
