Errata of the Protestant Bible (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Errata of the Protestant Bible

Dr. Ryan commences his strictures on this section by observing, that five of the texts pro duced by Ward having been corrected in the modern Bibles, should have been excluded from the Errata. I shall not fatigue the patience of the reader by repeating what I have already said on the subject of these concessions: but shall content myself with reminding him how extremely corrupt that version must have been, the defence of which is thus abandoned by its warmest advocate. He proceeds: The other three texts have no relation to the sacrament even in his own translations, as will appear by exhibiting them. Whom heaven truly must receive - Iet us cast wood upon his bread - for he was the priest of the Most High. These three texts are thus rendered by us: tom heaven must receive - let us destroy the tree with the fruit there. 0 - and he was the priest of the Most High. (6) These texts are no more for or against the sacrament than a treatise of astronomy: yet we are accused of misconstruing them from preju dice against it! Softly, good Doctor! There may be more in some of these texts than you seem to be aware of. Let us examine them separately.
