them out in what shape they please, as the genuine and pure word.—My Lord, you see the consequences, as clearly as I can. And when it is remembered, that in your society, there is _a standing majority against the church_, what can we expert, if the plan become general, but that in time our present pure English Bible will be thrust aside, to make way for others, translated and annotated to the different tastes of Papists and Presbyterians, and all the other denominations, to which this happy happy country is laid to afford equal protection? Every different party, has now its doctrine, has its interpretation;—but then each will have its Bible too. I shall here, my Lord, put a period to my address, not because I have enumerated all the evils, which I see must follow such projects as that you recommend; I have mentioned not a tenth part; but, because I am persuaded, that if your Lordship be decidedly averse from listening to any representation, in prejudice of your society, I have said enough to exhaust your patience. If you be inclined, (notwithstanding your present engagement to patronize the scheme,) candidly to listen to the suggestions of those who are unfriendly to it; I have said more than enough, to awaken your Lordship’s apprehensions, and to procure your patient, and very serious investigation of my objections. I am, my Lord, Your Lordship’s obedient Servant. Since these sheets were sent to the press, the author has been credibly informed, that the British and Foreign Bible Society are at this time preparing an edition of the Holy Scriptures in the Welch language, in which, such liberties are taken in the translation as are by no means warrantable. He here gives it merely as a report, himself being unacquainted with the Welch language, and therefore unable to examine it, and determine how far it be true. If however, it be in the least degree founded in fact, Lord T., he presumes, will feel himself irresistibly called upon to bestow his very serious attention upon those pages of the address, which allude to this important subject; especially, when he is informed, that the same representation has been made to the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, who have thought proper to make further enquiries upon the subject. The author has been likewise told, that the distribution of tracts, as well as bibles, was in the original plan of some of the first projectors of this scheme, one of whom is known to be a zealous adversary of the establishment. Lord T. doubtless, has full information upon all points, respecting the characters of the projectors, and will be able to determine what degree of attention is due to those fears and forebodings, so strongly suggested upon this head. * * * * * FINIS. * * * * * * * * * *
