REMARKS ON THE PROPRIETY OF A NEW TRANSLATION

OF THE SCRIPTURES IN ENGLISH

CHAP. I. Necessity of a New Translation urged at various periods. First

proposed under the usurpation of Cromwell. Dr. Gell.

Remarks. Bishop Lowth. Archbishop Secker. Dr. Durell.

II. Mr. Bellamy's New Translation. Object of it. His incompe-

tency. Proved from Gen. xix. His novel translation of ver.

5, 25, 32. Singular disquisition on the word DP. Ignorance

in supposing the existence of a preterpluperfect tense in He-

brew

III. Expediency only of a New Translation asserted on the other

side. No inaccuracies in the present translation affecting faith

or morals. Probable reasons which might have prevented

compliance with the proposal for a New Translation under

authority. No good case made out in support of that propos-

al. The received Hebrew text stated to be corrupt. Mode

of amending it inefficient. Collations of MSS. and versions.

No classification of MSS. ever attempted. Under different

editions impracticable. All MSS. and versions, the Septua-

gint alone excepted, of one and the same edition. Sep.uagint

too corrupted for use. Eichorn. Critical Principles adopted

by the advocates for a New Translation unsatisfactory and fal-

lacious. Baver. Eichorn

sured by Kocher.

IV. Lowth's Translation of Isaiah. Animadversions upon it. Cen-

Specimens of erroneous criticisms in it.

Isaiah chap. i. 3. Chap. i. 29. Chap. ii. 20. Chap. viii. 9.

Chap. xxiv. 11. Kocher as superior in philological acquire-

ments, as inferior in classical taste. Lowth and his followers

men of indisputable learning and ability

V. Received Hebrew or Masoretical text. More ancient than the

Masora. Eichorn carries it up to the first century of the

Christian era. Complete restoration of it desirable, could it

be effected. Septuagint may have been translated from an-

other edition. This by no means certain. Cappellus. Shar-

fenberg. Masoretical the only text to be depended upon.

of the vowel system precludes the idea of its originality. The

REMARKS ON THE PROPRIETY OF A NEW TRANSLATION

OF THE SCRIPTURES INTO ENGLISH, [Concluded.]

CHAP. VI. Uniformity of sense in Scripture preserved by tradition. Vowels

and accents applied to the text in conformity with the tradi-

tional readings. Cappellus supposes these readings to have

been preserved by the use of the Matres Lectionis before the

invention of vowels. Version of Aquila conformable with the

Masoretical text, as well with respect to vowels as to conso-

nants. Various vowel readings of the Septuagint, contrasted

with those of Aquila. Singular reading of the Septuagint

Isaiah ix. 6. Theodotio's version less conformable with the

Masoretical text, than Aquila's. Masoretical readings genu-

ine. No other edition of the Hebrew text extant.

long anterior to the date of our most ancient MSS. Incontro-

vertibly more than thirteen centuries old. Marks the distinc-

the New Test., if of high antiquity, would be greatly valued

same sense,

VII. Theory of elucidating Hebrew by the Cognate Dialects, particu-

larly by the Arabic. Extract from Schultens, in exemplifica-

tion of this theory. The verb 1. More ingenuity of in-

vestigation, than solidity of reasoning in it.. Languages derived

from the same source, do not always use the same word in the

The derivative sense more likely to occur in the

more modern, and the primitive in the most ancient langnages.

Position, that the Hebrew tongue may be greatly illustrated by

the study of the Dialects, contains some theoretical truth with

much practical uncertainty. Difficulty of the illustration.

Signification of words in a constant state of fluctuation. Im-

provement in criticism often brings increase in perplexity.

Oriental languages built upon the same foundation are some-

times composed of different materials. Hebrew and Syriac.

Restrictions prescribed by Baver. Lexicons improved only in

Etymological investigations. A Translator not to be led astray

by ingenious conceits, and theoretical novelties

VIII. Recapitulation. Conclusion. English Established Version

translated from the Hebrew. Style of it admired. Obsolete

expressions. Defects of it counterbalanced by its many ex-

cellencies. Not likely to be superseded by a better
