THE LINEAGE OF OUR BIBLE.

In severe stricjness we can hardly carry our
present printed Bible back beyond the Refor-
nation. Its parent source. shall presently
see is Tyndale, and Tyudalc's first New Testa-
mcnt dates from lI2I. or The sixteenth year Of
the reign Of King Henry VIII Many rcviSions,
including the authors own, have been made
since then both Of his New Testament and Of
his unCOmpeted work on the old. but so sound
was his scholarship. 80 felicitous his dicton,
ma jcstc his rhythm, that something like four
nfthS Of his latest rendcrngS stiu survive un-
altered in our old Testament, and a yet higher
proportion in our New
But while we cannot too highly honor Tyn-
dale as the true father Of our English Bible. it
would be wrong to forget that had a com
plete hand written Bible early as the four
tcenth century and that the practically un-
broken line OF our trausIatOTs carries back
for Yet another six seven hundred years to
the days Of the great monk of JarruW, the
Venerable Bede, the father Burke calls him,
of English learning. Let our readers, then, al
low their imagination to transport them for 4
brief space into the Augo-SaXOn England Of the
first few decades of the eighth century.
The various titles Of the successive versions
Of our Bible tend somewhat TO obscure a fact
which it is the object of this little sketch to
bring into relief We hear Of Tyndales Bible,
of COVerdale's, Of MattheWs's, and the rest and
we naturally form idea of them as independ-
ent books not as correlated members of one or
