The names, attached to this memorial, are too respectable not to
communicate a great degree of importance, to any statement to which they
are affixed. This memorial states, "That the modern Bibles, issued from
the press of the University of Oxford, abounded with deviations from the
authorized version of King James the First. That, though some of these
errors were merely typographical, yet of those that were intentional, the
number was of a serious amount. That in the Book of Genesis, there were
upwards of eight hundred errors; in the Psalms, six hundred; in the
Gospel of St. Matthew, four hundred and sixteen; and in about the fourth
part of the Bible, an aggregate of two thousand, nine hundred and
thirty-one."
The same Monthly London Review, for February, 1833, speaking of the
pamphlet of Thomas Curtis, of Grove House, Islington, on his discoveries
of the falsification of the Bible, says: "In this comparatively brief
pamphlet, we find the exposition of one of the most singular deceptions,
to which the world has yet been exposed. The imposition, is nothing short
of a downright falsification of the text of Scripture. Need we add a
syllable more, to rouse the attention of the thinking community?" In the
same pamphlet Mr. Curtis remarks: "About twenty years ago, an intelligent
reader at one of the printing offices, where the Bible was in a course of
printing, took the trouble of drawing up a specification of a number of
gross errors, which he found in the very copy, _that had been selected by
the proper authorities_, as the _standard_ of correctness to which he was
to adhere. The errors pointed out by the penetrating reader, amounted to
no less, than seven hundred and thirty-one, and these occurred in the
various chapters, from the beginning of Genesis, to the end of Jeremiah."
Well, most Reverend Gentlemen, it is plain from what I have stated (and
where is the person who can contradict what I have stated), that the
_first_ Protestant foreign Reformers, corrupted and falsified the sacred
Scriptures, that your English Protestant Reformers, did also the same,
and that even at the present day, your English Protestant translations of
that sacred volume, are in a most awful and corrupt state. And would to
heaven I could stop here!
