Book Description

Excerpt from A Collation of the Principal English Translation of the Sacred Scriptures: The Old Testament, From the Translations of John Rogers, the Bishops, the Genevan, and Present Authorised Version; The New Testament, From Wiclif, Rogers, the Rhemes, or Roma Catholic Version, the Genevan, the Present Authorised N the year 1812, having accidentally fallen in with the translation of the Bible printed in 1549, I was struck forcibly with the variation from the present authorized version; and, as the Sacred Scriptures are, above all other writings, what most, or at least what should most, concern us, I could not help wishing I had learned the Hebrew, and began to set about it seriously.
