CHAPTER IX. CAUSES OF CORRUPTION CHIEFLY INTENTIONAL. III. Attraction. Sec. 1. There exist not a few corrupt Readings,--and they have imposed largely on many critics,--which, strange to relate, have arisen from nothing else but the proneness of words standing side by side in a sentence to be attracted into a likeness of ending,--whether in respect of grammatical form or of sound; whereby sometimes the sense is made to suffer grievously,--sometimes entirely to disappear. Let this be called the error of Attraction. The phenomena of 'Assimilation' are entirely distinct. A somewhat gross instance, which however has imposed on learned critics, is furnished by the Revised Text and Version of St. John vi. 71 and xiii. 26.
