Excerpt from Introduction to the New Testament, Vol. 2

The Latin tranﬂations of the Oriental'verfions, which are printed in the Polyglot Bibles, a1e wretched in an l1ighe1 degree than can be imagined2 and whoever re~ lies on their authority in fupport ofa reading, like Mill and Wetftein, will inevitably fall into error. Another circumfiance to which attention mutt be given is, that fome of the ancient verfions have in many places fuf feted alterations and great care mnf't be taken to diftin gullh the modern amendments from the genuine text of the ancient tranﬂator. Laftl ly, thofe tranﬂations, which were not immediately taken from. The Greek, are of no authority ln dete1n1ining the genuine text oftlie original, but only of that ve1fion from which they were taken. For infiance, all the Spanifh, French, and German tranf lations of the New Tel'tament, made before the fix teenth century, were taken immediately from the Latin. And the1ef ore even in thofe examples whe1e they are unanimous in a reading, their united voices are of no more authority than that of the Latin verfion alone.

Excerpt from Introduction to the New Testament, Vol. 2

Having inquired into the origin of the various readings, and their internal marks of probability, I have now to examine the external evidence, that may be adduced in their favour, which consists either in ancient versions, ancient manuscripts, or quotations from the New Testament, in the works of ecclesiastical writers. As a knowledge of the ancient versions is requisite, before a proper judgement can be formed of the value of the Greek manuscripts, many of the latter having been suspected, though I believe unjustly, of being interpolated from the former, our first attention must be directed to the different translations that were made from the Greek Testament in the early ages of Christianity.
